    loads of people can alter.
    I was 7th row maybe at Dirrell vs Abraham. There I had it a skillfull drubbing for Dirrell and a real bad DQ by Abraham get this!! By elbow!

    Dirrell's brother I think got on the apron and was motioning with his elbow...so we thought Dirrell got dropped with that..sh$#T a brawl almost broke out when someone hollered it. And trying to see between ropes aint that great beyond 3 or 4 rows.

    Then when I watched it live Seemed kinda slow fight with lulls in between and watching Andre fall...damn it looked shameful on t.v.

    yep its funny what height /angle /view you get of a live fight venue / especially at a 10k to 20 k venue and then watch it on tv and in close up and you see a different fight.

    Never on the outcome. Just on how close some rounds are.

    That said, at least 90% of the people on this site don’t have the mental capacity to score a fight correctly. Including and especially the most conspicuous posters on the RBR’s. Who are mentally like toddlers when it comes to their understanding of how a fight should be scored. I’d like to say drugs and alcohol are to blame. But it might just be low IQ as well.

    :lol: You poor *******. I quit watching that "fight" after the fifth round.

    I think i had Cotto beating Alvarez on fight night. After watching it again i had it a clear decisive win for Alvarez.

    If I'm ever in the minority of people who think a certain guy won I always look it back over. Terrible fight like.

    yeah it happens all the time, and sometimes if we know there is controversy we can sway the close rounds to where we want it. The best thing is your first scoring as you watch the fight for the first time.

    Pretty much this infact I think I had it a draw at a push,same with the Jacobs fight as well in that when you get rewatch it all that flashy stuff from Jacobs n Canelo was mostly hitting arms n gloves,his defence is actually first rate when he’s at range and even on the inside he often takes one to land one.

    So then really a draw would of been the correct result with so much on the line.

    I think so because you are not swayed with the result you already know. I think it would be interesting to ask someone who has not seen a fight ever and does not know the result to score an old fight. When I know the result of a fight, it is hard to score it fairly.

    i have done a couple of times.
    couple of times i have re watched and scored it the same (even tho the fighter i thought won had lost the actual fight lol) think we call them a gift decisions lol.

    most people on here need to rewatch floyd fights that they scored for the other fighter. Floyds schooled these 'champs'
