the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

I dare say it puts the DeJesus and Cervantes wins for Gomez in some sort of perspective. Tough to get a decision in Venezuela.

You'd need to literally beat a man to within an inch of his life to get the decision there.

 

Don't be like that. He beat those green *******s :bart

 

Gonna watch spoon v Holmes again when I can be arsed.

 

10th round of that fight is still one of my favorites. Terrific two way action. Gotta give credit to Trinidad, who didn't go quietly into the night.

 

Just rewatched Holmes v spoon.

Can't believe I ever found 7 rounds for Larry before. Spoon beats him at pretty much every juncture he outjabs him outpunches him, outdefends him and basically proved his superiority over 12 rounds.

It's not a huge stretch to say he was the best in the world at this point until he lost to Thomas who lost to berbick who lost to the youngest champ in he history.

 

Ali vs Norton III

I scored this fight without any bias and even tho deep down I would've wanted Norton to win on my scorecard he didn't.

Norton won rounds: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 15

Ali won rounds: 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15

Drew rounds: 4 and 12

Even round 4 could've been tipped in Ali's favour looking back so all in all there was no robbery I think Ali won fair and square.



Hagler vs Leonard

Again watched this with no bias in mind and had it a draw.

Hagler won rounds: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15

Leonard won rounds: 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11

I scored no rounds a draw although there was 1 or 2 that could've been I tried to have a clear cut dec. and still came to a draw IMO Leonard didn't do enough to lift the title from Hagler. Particularly when you factor in Hagler's aggressivness and Leonards holding, hitting and holding, a few low blows and a few times hitting after the bell. One of the judges had it 118-110 for Leonard...not sure which fight he was watching.

 

Just watched Vicente Saldivar outpoint Seki in their first fight. I'm forcing myself to watch more of Saldivar in an effort to appreciate him more than I do. No luck so far.

 

Seki dropped him in the first fight. Saldivar dominates the rematch. Watch his trilogy with Winstone.

Some say prime Chang could not be defeated by conventional means.

 

Those that say it are wise and learned men.

 

Saldivar looked very ordinary in the first Seki fight.

 

That's because he was a poor man's Marco Antonio Barrera.

 

JMM vs Victor Polo

12-0, Marquez. Maybe there was a Polo round but i didn't see it. Marquez was masterful and **** i love that man's ring generalship. owned that ****ing ring and a very good, if not elite, fighter. pacing, combos, everything were tremendous. he looks like a k-mart version of ricardo lopez

 

Also watching Marquez-Barrera

Barrera was FANTASTIC in the first half and i really believe that his performance, well past his very best, against a peak marquez show his true quality.

Round 7 was great for marquez until the knockdown. The bull****, horrible call, turned a 10-8 barrera round into a 10-8 marquez round. I don't know if the ref told barrera to stop when marquez went down...he seem to pause like he was waiting for a call before he (foolishly) hit jmm

either way, barrera was awesome and scored a clean knockdown
