I saw a post earlier and I heard somebody saying in a bar the other night, and various other times, something along the lines of "I think _____ should have won the fight by a split decision"... How does that make sense? One scorecard for one person. I can understand from a perspective of watching a really close fight with multiple swing rounds with a razor thin decision, the notion could be that the loser deserved more credit and a majority/split decision would emphasise that. But that's why rounds are scored separately, and obviously judges aren't (supposed to be) working together. Plus nobody that says this ever means it in that regard anyway. What mistakes and misconceptions annoy you, generally speaking?
Yeah that's ridiculous. Or in another weight class, or with rival feuding promoters respectively, etc.
People who don't know the difference in "running" and boxing or fighting off of the back foot like someone else mentioned. False claims of cherry picking or ducking. Or guys who don't follow the sport try to make any type of comment about someone's opposition or career moves.
People who nit-picky when someone says a guy was KOd when in fact he was TKOd. Who cares? A technical KO is still a KO.
There was nowhere near "excessive clinching" in the floyd-pac fight. Anyways, the casual fab doesn't seem to understand the significance of weight divisions. Theyl propose a lot of matchups that don't make sense from a weight pov.
Just Fl0M0s in general. Probably the worst thing in boxing, but I don't take any of them seriously. It's like they're on Mayweather's payroll how much they defend him. I'm a fan of certain fighters, but I don't defend them anywhere near the levels that Fl0m0s defend Mayweather.
The fact that most casual fans are only interested in fighters from their own countries and virtually ignore any division that isn't WW.
Such a claim cannot be annoying if it is absolutely hilarious, surely? That **** is comedy gold, whether it was intentional or not.
