    @The Morlocks i intentionally saved Pintor vs Gomez for the last fight as they are the 2 most overhyped and overrated fighters in this site...along with Zarate of course!

    I had it 1 pt wider but we only had round 5 different. Pretty impressive for such a tight fight!

    It might be my bias as Alexis is probably my all time favorite professional athlete. I certainly wouldn't argue with you or anyone having round 5 for Pryor or the fight a couple points wider in his favor.

    I am not sure you can be a boxing fan and not appreciate Arguello both the boxer and the man! Class act. So cold and calculating. I remember Mancini saying something along the lines of he felt like even when he was doing well he felt like Arguello was studying him and setting him up to dissect him later on.

    Philly, a little bit ago I scored the Sanchez v Nelson fight, which you had entered into the scorecard thread earlier today. I loved it and here is how I had it.

    Sanchez-Nelson

    Round 1: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 2: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 3: 10-10 Even
    Round 4: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 5: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 6: 10-9 Sanchez
    Round 7: 10-8 Sanchez (knockdown)
    Round 8: 10-9 Sanchez
    Round 9: 10-9 Sanchez
    Round 10: 10-10 Even
    Round 11: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 12: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 13: 10-10 Even
    Round 14: 10-9 Nelson
    Round 15: TKO for Sanchez

    Through 14 rounds: 135-133 Nelson

    The 13th round was a tough one to score depending on your criteria. Nelson was taking the round with a lot of eye-catching flurries but Sanchez was digging to the body well. I would have given the round to Nelson (like commentator Larry Holmes did) but that last left hook that almost dropped Nelson swayed an even round on my card. Although I had Nelson up, if he had survived the 15th I would have had an even score and Sanchez would have retained it on a draw. But a moot point as Nelson was in severe distress and the stoppage was correct. A real valiant effort by a relatively professional novice.

    I'll have a rewatch as I was very tired when I watched these, and still haven't finished. But I thought that Kim didn't better work from angles and landed more in the first four with my notes saying 2&3 were close.

    I was just commenting! Not saying you were wrong or needed to rewatch or anything.
