Am i crazy for thinking Ennis got a total gift last night ?

Karen only landed more power punches in round four and 12. I imagine that you aren’t scoring body punches heavily enough. The judges aren’t obligated to keep competitive fights close on the cards. If the one round judge chose round four to give to Karen, it’s not the worst card out there.

 

There was no robbery. Karen took a knee on one of the rounds. He was deducted a point on one of the rounds and it was good fight in my opinion. The reason Karen was holding excessively is because he was getting tagged good.

Boots isn't the next greatest thing but he does pack a punch and Karen was aware of Boot's power. With that being said, I thought Karen was easily landing as well, but he never seemed to hurt Boots. I felt the right man was given the decision.

 

Are you seriously going to justify those scorecards, especially the 119-107?

 

I gave Ennis 5 rounds, but with some close ones - I have no issue with anyone giving him 7 and scoring it 115:111 for him.
No argument on the point that judges - at least 2 of them -were not even trying to score it accurately.

Maybe He landed more punches indeed - but no way those official compubox statistics are accurate. It's just guy(or guys) pushing buttons, making subjective judgement of what lands and what doesn't.
I looked back at round 2. They recorded 4 punches for Chukh in entire round. That's just stupid.

 

Boots

I never said the score cards were accurate. I just stated that the fight wasn't a robbery, however, I do feel that Boots deserved the decision. Boots was trying to get Karen out of there, but it became apparent around the 7th round that Karan wasn't getting knocked out.

 

To answer the question, yes. Sorry.

I see no path for a Chukhadzhian victory given the way the fight unfolded. He took the first, fourth, ninth, eleventh and twelth on my card and a couple of others were close enough that I might have scored them 10-10 on other systems. Then again, the first and ninth could have reasonably swung to Ennis. And, when you factor in the KD and the point deduction, the absolute best that Ghukhadzhian is a draw. And even that is a stretch of plasticine proportions, imo.

Karen definitely over-performed and Ennis certainly under-performed, and psychologically that may have affected a lot of observers. But Ennis still threw more, landed more, and landed harder and cleaner in enough rounds to carry them on my card to earn the decision.

115-111 or 114-112 Ennis seems about right to me. I had it 115-111 Boots, personally. Scorecards were generally too wide, but that doesn't mean Boots didn't win this fight.

 

Your scorecard is accurate.

 

Ennis ate a lot of shots and Karen was strong at the end of the fight.

 

Boots is more bark than bite but he'll be live for years to come unless he gets cracked

 

Some of you act as if he didn't walk through shots from a known puncher in Villa a few fights ago. Boots seems to take a good punch.

 

None of those live punch trackers compubox or its contemporaries are accurate at all. It doesn't even have usefulness. Just two guys tabulating what they thought they saw in the spur of the moment. Truely accurate punch stats come after video analysis of a fight.

 

I reckon he gets cracked. I watched his in-ring interview in the Avanesyan fight, and compared to this one, and he sounded bad. In the Avan interview he was talking normal, in this one, his speech was slurred, he was talking out the side of his mouth and he couldn't seem to gather his thoughts. He sounded heavily concussed to me. Chuk isn't a big puncher and looked considerably smaller than Boots. If Chuk can crack him like this, he will eventually get found out.
