8 rounds to 4 close fight or blow out?

Neither.

 

I would call it a clear win. It's hard to just say because let's say Fighter A definitely won 6 rounds and fighter B definitely won 4. But the next 2 were close but everyone gave them to fighter A with the exception of a few people.

You're better off giving a certain fight as a example then just asking for 116-112 you know?

 

It is not that simple. It depends on how the rounds go. For example I had Pavlik/Taylor II 116-112, but every single one of the first 10 rounds was close. I had Calzaghe/Kessler 116-112, and did not think it was a close fight.

 

i say thats close but clear

 

comfortable, but not a blowout

 

8-4 is not what I think of as "blow-out" but, it's not always close either.

I had Mayweather-Judah 8-4, but Judah's rounds were close, while Mayweather's were not. Mayweather won his rounds by much wide margins and dominated the middle portion of the fight (rounds 5-10).

While other fights can be 8-4 but much closer rounds and close as a whole.

I wouldn't argue against scoring Jones-Tarver I 8-4 in favor of Roy (I had it 7-5), but that fight was definitely closer than Mayweather-Judah. Same with Mosley-De La Hoya I, or Cotto-Mosley.

 

Exactly.

 

Depends. People could have reasonably scored Calzaghe-Kessler 8-4, but that was a blowout in my book. Same for Mayweather-De La Hoya. Opposite is true for Cotto-Mosley. If someone completely outclasses the other fighter but only wins 8-4 because they took some rounds off and played it safe, that's still a blowout in my book.

 

def Blow out..u won twice more rounds then your opponent!! its def a blowout

 

I say close.......but it all depends on the manner in which the person who lost fought

 

you're right. you cant just look at the final score to tell. you have to judge each individual rd.

 

its a comfortable victory on paper. But those fights can be close when examined.

 

hmm says... glass half full or half empty
