looking to score a fight

I think it's a bit too much for a first time scoring imo, though if he want's to try he should. Correct me if I'm wrong but @InexperiencedFan0907 you have never scored a bout and have just started watching Boxing recently? I think you should watch something like Canelo - GGG 1. It's recent, high quality, competitive rounds but not inseparable / even and there have been many, many posters who have scored it here, so you could compare it too. Still, I recommend this bout with two Bantamweight legends. Very highly skilled chess match. Not as much slugging as you'd think given their reputations, though.

 

Well, Hagler vs Duran is a bout a lot of posters think is truly separated by the last 3 rounds. It will also get you acquainted with two bonafide legends, ATG skills and even the sense of Boxing in the era at the time.

 

The thing is that will be very dependent on who you have scoring with you in the end. Some people on here have seen a mass of obscure bouts before. There are literally hundreds of great fights I could recommend but you have a pretty specific parameter. I think maybe the fact you have never scored before is why you need to see a clear, mainstream distance bout with an accepted consensus on scoring and most rounds. You need to see how and why these rounds are being won / lost by each fighter. You need to see scoring criteria being achieved / not achieved in real time, and you need to understand it clearly since you are a newb. I don't think truly controversial or obscure fights will help you so much right now. I don't think you should worry too much about what you watch or how accurate your score is necessarily. You're new to this so you just need to give yourself time to learn.

Well, I'd suggest waiting for your thread to gain more responses first. If I were to suggest some names though, it'd be guys like: @William Walker @Jel @scartissue @Saintpat @PhillyPhan69 @JohnThomas1 , and probably some others I forget, who I have all seen as being very good round by round scorers. However, they are all experienced as well. You could also ask on General, you'd likely get more responses - General also has top scorers like CST, IB etc. I don't know if any of these people will though, as time is not so abundant for all of us.

 

I think everyone here has seen that though. What about another intriguing one from lightweight, Rosario-Ramirez 1? Love to see some scorecards for that one.

 

The hardest rounds to score is what fighter A outscores fights B but land less impactful punches. Defense is factored in automatically. Ring Generalship is hander to define, but it is a factor. In general the fighter who lands more punches wins the round, as long as he does so by a margin of say 4 punches or more per round.

The professional judge are often wrong so do not go on them, instead take the middle judges score card and use punch stats to verify the truth.

 

If it interests you, watch it. The more the merrier.
