    Canelo Alvarez vs Erislandy Lara

    Canelo - Lara

    R1: 9 - 10
    Lara pot shotting; Canelo inactive.
    R2: 10 - 9
    Lara throwing a lot of glancing and deflected shots. Body work starting.
    R3: 9 - 10
    Lara winning on literally one left.
    R4: 10 - 9
    Canelo working the body.
    R5: 10 - 10
    Lara moving but not working enough off it.
    R6: 10 - 9
    Lara literally running at points. Canelo with more body work.
    R7: 9 - 10
    Lara sharp this round. Cut by an uppercut.
    R8: 10 - 9
    Lara not working; Canelo with some lovely rights to the body.
    R9: 10 - 9
    Close, but Lara is not consistent enough.
    R10: 9 - 10
    Lara picking them down the middle.
    R11: 9 - 10
    Lara negating Canelo.
    R12: 10 - 9
    Canelo bringing the action here.

    TOTAL: 115 - 114 CANELO

    Notes:
    • Close fight.
    • Neither fan narrative reagrding this fight is really true. Lara wasn't as negative as made out, and Canelo wasn't totally schooled like detractors would state. Lara had a lot of glancing work, and was pounded to the body despite landing.
    • Not really sad Lara didn't get it. The opportunity was there for him to take, but he was a bit too negative to seize the victory.

    Zaragoza wins by 12 round SD.

    Far from a robbery, but with the KD, I think Banke deserved more leeway than Zaragoza did. Glad they got a rematch, which I'll watch next!
    Awesome southpaw on southpaw fight. Not exactly ATG skills, but some unbelievable action. Great fight. Thanks Hank.

    Zaragoza had much better straight shots than Banke, his jab and movement troubled Banke. He did consistently try to keep it at range, he just failed.

    Banke was a decent counter puncher, hard hitter too. His right hook seemed to be his money punch and him pressing the action won him the fight imo.

    Need opinions.

    Here is the '67 heavyweight bout between Jerry Quarry and Thad Spencer. Scored on the California system of 1 point a round, an extra point for a knockdown and none for an even round. It's a good fight but look at the scores at the end of the fight after you yourself have scored it.

    Round 1: Quarry
    Round 2: Even
    Round 3: Even
    Round 4: Quarry (scores a knockdown)
    Round 5: Quarry
    Round 6: Spencer
    Round 7: Spencer
    Round 8: Quarry
    Round 9: Spencer
    Round 10: Quarry (scores a knockdown)
    Round 11: Even
    Round 12: Quarry stops Spencer at 2:57 of the round

    Total through 11 completed rounds - 7-3 Quarry. That is how I saw it. Below is the official scores and unofficial scores of the media.

    • Official Scorecards (through 11 completed rounds - all for Quarry):
      • Referee Jack Downey: 7-6
      • Judge Dick Young: 9-4
      • Judge Rudy Ortega: 7-3
    • Unofficial Scorecards:
    • AP: 6-5 Quarry;
    • UPI: 8-3 Quarry;
    • Hayward Daily Review: 9-4 Quarry.
    • NY Times: 11-1 Quarry
    Does it seem like there are some crazy disparities there? Perhaps my even rounds are making me think this. Anyways, I would love to hear others opinions on this.

    Round by Round
    Awesome fight. Yet again.

    Banke seemed to have more issues here, despite stopping him. If that makes sense. He couldn't really land his shots as well, mostly due to Zaragoza changing his tactics and throwing more straight shots and not getting inside as much.

    Zaragoza just run out of steam in the end. He was pretty much in control and getting the better of the exchanges but Banke made him work for every round.

    Zaragoza wins by 10th round TKO.

    *Was there a point deducted from Zaragoza in round 7? It looked like it but I didn't watch with sound and truth be told I couldn't be arsed to look into it.

    Ahhh, such a sad way for Carlos to see out his career. Zaragoza's journey just begins though! One thing that became immediately apparent was that we were dealing with a lotta fod in this one. Good fight, Zarate showed his experience in patches, but he didn't have the gas tank or speed to keep up a ferocious pace and make a war of it. Zaragoza showed some decent boxing here too, nice footwork and counters.

    Zaragoza wins by 12 round UD.

    Good fight, not as good as the first two though. Oh, except round 12. That **** was awesome. Literally just landed clean punches for 3 minutes straight.

    Zaragoza out-worked Banke for most of this imo. Paul seemed much sharper to begin this one, also showed a different style when he boxed on his toes, different trainer?

    This really is the best thread on the forum. I liked it back in the day when you could see who had the most posts etc., I think Flea was winning when it broke down. Never mind.

    Chad Dawson UD12 Adrian Diaconu

    Rather dull. Dawson just one-two, one-two his way to dominance and control. Adrian opens up a little in the third but is still struggling to make any impact against a taller, longer, faster, more powerful opponent. What can you do?

    Work the jab, that's a start, very close fourth, still dull, but competitive at least. Dawson wasting nothing though, only throwing the hard punches when he sees his man. It's admirable. More Wladimir Klitschko than Tommy Hearns though (Dawson's first fight with Emmanuel). Still, the sixth was the best of the fight, with a little infighting as a bonus.

    Big fun ninth, with The Shark landing some hard punches upon him. Dawson soon is back to his stalk and snipe strategy though.

    DAWSON:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,11,12.
    ADRIAN:7,9.

    Dull fight, wide to Dawson.

    Dmitry Bivol TKO12 Sullivan Barrera

    Bivol had done some interesting things the year before but it's his 2018 victory over Barrera, then ranked #2, that made him.

    Good grief Bivol is fast, fast and heavy-handed, these are not glancing blows. He brings the right across with such speed and I wonder if this might not be the quickest two-piece in the sport right now despite his size, it's awesome. Barrera's trying to power-box but he's just being beaten to the punch repeatedly by a much quicker man. He needs to tune up his aggression or step off because he's just going to get hit by the looks.

    Ah, interesting, Bivol cut in the second and it's bleeding. It slows the Russian down for a spell, but he's soon back at it, jab, counter-hook, that lightning right hand, he wins the round regardless. Fast, organised footwork take him where he needs to be. Bivol starts going to the body in the sixth; that's good business. Layers, levels. How disheartening it must be for Barrera, getting hit in the head over and over and over again and all of a sudden he's getting hit in earnest to the body. Hasn't won a round yet for me.

    Bivol is too good for this to be boring, but holy **** it is one-sided. Bivol has no fear of punching with a guy, none at all, he's just too confident in his ability to be shy even against a banger like Barrera. That said, Barrera's jab is utterly useless. Bivol has 100% taken it away.

    The stoppage should have been in the ninth and to be fair, it nearly did, but Bivol had to wait to the twelfth. It came in part due to Barrera's bravery, as he tried to stop Bivol despite his being completely outclassed. Jab cracked him and the lighting right hand that dropped him. Referee pulls him.

    That was consumate.

    BIVOL:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

    Zaragoza wins by 12 round UD.

    You probably could've argued a draw here, but I'm not at all uneasy with Zaragoza getting a UD. It was a close one.

    Real, real good fight. Not a great fight, but close to it. I have a feeling that if Zaragoza was 10 years younger, and could match the workrate he had in the Banke fights, we'd have witnessed one of the greatest spectacles of all time. Ugly fight from a technical perspective, but I'd recommend watching it. Both of these guys end up in wars. Boring? Nah it couldn't be that

    Jean Pascal UD12 Badou Jack

    Man, Pascal has aged beautifully. A decade after he ruled he's still moving well, boulder shoulders. Whatever drugs he's using, those are the ones I would like please and thank you. Good variety too in the opener with the right hand, working behind the jab but slingy shots with the right up and down are the difference makers early in the round. Maybe makes himself a little vulnerable to the jab by waiting though - and he is waiting - and it will be interesting to see how that pans out. His handspeed is maybe a little slower but wow the placement is good...especially to the body.

    Pascal jab is still quick, and it appears to have Jack nervous in the opening moments of the second. Pascal shows good variety, slinging in a left hook now, it's not pretty, but married to that pretty jab it's ok. Pascal ends the round disorganised and I think a little hurt; the shade to Jack. The third, Pascal has abandoned his jab for some weird reason. Throws it with just over a minute left and a four punch combo comes behind it. So ridiculous that he spent two minutes not throwing it. When he jabs, he wins these rounds and he dominates the last minute here for me. He puts Jack in trouble on the cards (And in his brains) in the fourth with a high hard right hand before rushing him back to the ropes where Jack sprawled. His turn to be disorgansied, but was also legit buzzed i think - not sure which corner was his at bell.

    This was hurtful in more ways than one. Jack dominated this round. He was boss. He won every minute. And then he finds himself on the rough end of a 10-8 round. Tough sport. You wonder if he may not be gunshy.

    Fast start for Pascal, but very controlled, jabs and slings, normal work. On the one hand he risks little, on the other hand, Jack is allowed time and he's pushing Pascal back by the end of the first minute. Good round, very good fight in fact, glad I went back, I nearly skipped it. I have Pascal taking a very close fifth in the last seconds with a vicious body assault; Jack is really in bad trouble points-wise.

    This contest has been rough. Low blows, rabbit punches, naughty's with the head, some holding and hitting, by and large it's been well refereed though. Jack does well in the sixth, keeps the intensity up instead of allowing himself to be railroaded. He's also starting to win the battle of the jabs and still has time - though the margin for error is rapidly falling.

    Eight is great. Jack dominates Pascal along the ropes and he emerges with on fo those aggressive punching rushes he produces sometimes. It's another very very close round but I think just about Jack again - so he's now rushed 6,7,8 on my card. Behind by the knockdown. Jack is looking quicker and has picked a couple of punches beautifully. If I was placing a dollar at this point it would go on Jack.

    I gave Pascal the ninth, barely, based on a gorgeous uppercut two-piece but that's the first he's won since the fifth, arguably the fourth. He's in trouble despite the great start. He's ahead, but I feel like he needs the tenth - because he's fading. Jack could pocket both late rounds...both men look tired, in fact, and I thought Pascal did enough, so he has a lead going into the 11th. Jack takes the 11th so as long as Pascal keeps his feet in the twelfth he's got in the bag by virtue of the knockdown...and he doesn't keep his feet :lol: Jack has him in trouble early with right hands, adds uppercuts, a furious Pascal is tossed across the bottom or second rope, bouncing about, up at a no count. In trouble, hanging on through much of the rest of the round...arguably could be a 10-8 but Jack probably didn't do quite enough to justify that.

    So I have a 113-113 draw, lovely.

    Good, absorbing fight.

    JACK:2,6,7,8,11,12^
    PASCAL:1,3,4*,5,9,10,

    *Jack down
    ^Pascal down.
