Tevin Farmer vs. Jonathon Baresford - the IB standalone RBR scorecard

I only flagged two "close" rounds - and if you shift the 1st & 9th to Baresford it makes a draw...so that's my range. (116-112 or 115-113 Farmer, or 1114-114). The official scorecards were maybe a tad ungenerous to Baresford, as there weren't any rounds for him that I thought could nudge the other way to make it any wider than my 116-112 Farmer.

Still don't see a case for him winning, though.

 

Hmm ...so now I'm curious which of the rounds I gave Baresford each of the official judges didn't (since each gave him only 3 rounds per the scorecards)

IMO the second, fourth, seventh and eighth were very clear for Jono. I'm not sure I see a path to a 117-110 or 117-111 card for Tevin Farmer any more than I can see Baresford winning.

 

...alright @CST80 - your turn.

...watching Hatanaka vs. Phoyaem, er, as soon as that's even possible.

 

I can't find the complete judges' cards anywhere.

 

All four us were in agreement on the concrete foundation of rounds 2, 4, 7 & 8 for Jono.

 

I haven't given Idol vs. JoJo much thought, as it has smacked of "Farmer via boring UD" since it was announced... but considering how close Baresford ran him, and that Díaz - while maybe not everything he was cracked up to be heading into & early on in pros - is waaaaaaay better than Baresford...and could arguably have been given a draw vs. GRJ (who is less accurate than Farmer but a good deal faster, which did have an impact on Díaz and will be not be as much of a factor tomorrow), well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Wait, so is (or was) Farmer ducking to fight Díaz? I lose track of (and honestly always have been completely bored witless by, even when I had more time for it) the outside-the-ring boxing politics and social media beefing stuff...

If he does lose to Jo-Jo, though, he won't be in a position to be ducking anyone (or calling out any of the big names) for a while. The amount of trash Farmer has talked, you can't just shake off a loss to a B+ guy and get to skip your walk of shame.

 

Also wtf exactly is Carroll's real name??? I have found no less than four possible combinations with variant spellings of his first and last.

Jonath

...and yeah, I know some wisenheimer is going to pip in with "it'd be a lot easier if you just used his ring name, IB. " - but STFU!

I'm goddamn OCD and need to know.

 

Ah, thought maybe his longtime dream fight against Tank Davis had actually been negotiated at one point only for him to be like "nah, I want Jo-Jo" instead. Because that shit would have been straight up bananas.
