Dmitrii Yuriyevich Bivol vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Zhìlěi Zhāng vs. Scott Alexander RBR

Anyone who scores that round 10-8 for Val has no clue how to score. Molina clearly won the round outside of the knockdown, the KD could have easily been ruled a slip which would have been 10-9 Molina. To allow a round to go from Molinna winnng the round 10-9 to losing the round 10-8 is utter garbage scoring. I could live with Molina losing the round 10-9 but that doesn't accurately represent what happened in the round. Molina did not deserve to lose that round let alone lose it by 2 points. He clearly dominated the round, and arguably didn't deserve to have that scored a KD. An even round is more accurate than scoring that round against the guy who clearly won it after what was pretty much a slip, borderline knockdown. A borderline slip, knockdown should never swing a round more than 1 point.

 

are they even boxing fans, or just sports fans and casuals?

 

Hehe.... triggered. Chill bro

 

First of all, I can score it however I want as I'm not an official judge. That was a 9-9 round, due to the referee's decision of a KD and the fact that Molina dominated the rest of the round. That's the most favorable I can score the round to Val a round that he clearly lost and the KD was very borderline.

 

Round 1: Silva.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Silva

10-9 Silva

 

Anyone got a prediction for Giyasov-Gomez? Likely to go distance?

 

Silva vs Espino
Round 1
Diamante just said Espino is undefeated, which he is, but also he has 9 wins and 1 loss. Cmon Dave! Referee is bald. Really nice round its turning into a slugfest. I feel like Silva edged it
10-9 Silva (close)

 

We as fans can be better and more accurate than the official judges who are more limited in how they can score than we can score.

It's bad that judges are being encouraged to score a round 10-8 or choose a winner in a round that is most accurately scored even when there's a knockdown but the other guy clearly won the round outside of the knockdown, especially if the KD was borderline slip.

In Canelo Trout, the knockdown wasn't a borderline slip, so even if Trout won the rest of the round, the quality of the knockdown itself has to be factored in. For example, if the ref incorrectly rules a slip a KD, or it's borderline, then then the other fighter has to dominate the rest of the round more in order to win it, than if the knockdown was an impressive no doubt about it KD like Canelo's KD was Trout was.

 

Round 1: Silva
Round 2: Espino

Espino may win by KO soon.
