Apparently on all counts (especially the Maracho ****... ). We have all typed some stupid **** drunk. I remember saying Taylor wasnt out when the ref stopped it the first time vs Pavlik. Then waking up, watching the replay...going back and reading what I wrote like "WTF DID I TYPE!!! I DONT EVEN REMEMBER WRITING THIS ****!!!"
I picked Marquez to win and despite the judges, I was right. Feel sorry for Marquez, the real winner.
A laugh...no. I am a Pac fan, who scored the fight for Marquez. Go back and read it all...I did a quick breakdown of every round...with a score. There were AT LEAST 3 close rounds that could have went to either man. Meaning the fight could have went either way....so I would have been cool with either fighter getting the W or a draw even (tho that would have sucked). Again, a robbery is where one guy CLEARLY wins the fight and its given to the other guy. Whitaker vs Ramirez 1 was a robbery, where Sweet Pea pretty much won EVERY ROUND, but lost the fight. Roy Jones Jr in the olympics was robbed when he boxed that Korean guys ears off and lost...I cant even watch this without getting sick to my stomach. Robin Reid was robbed vs Sven Ottke when in a fight he was winning, he was actually warned FOR PUNCHING OTTKE!!! YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY!!! This was a close fight, not a robbery. That word is overused to such a tremendous extent on this site. Its almost an insult to the above fights to call this one a robbery.
Floyd did beat an old Oscar and he is one and one with Castillo but he is to scared to ever catch up with Pacman. Most would agree with me on that one. Thus, at the end of the day your name calling is unfounded as usual.
Thanks for giving me that. I said "robbery" was the wrong word, now I get a repeating of 'robbery' fights from this tool. Do not, my friend, do silly semantics again. It's not big or clever, as you are not. Do not bother. Watching the GP. Thanks in advance sues.
Apologies...as a non-Brit...had no idea what take a wrongun meant...wouldnt have reitterated my point, took you totally out of context. But again, it wasnt the semantics of the use of the word, it was the use of the word in the first place. And BTW, I quoted you after you quoted me...but the paragraph wasnt really aimed at you directly, as you can see from my much longer post on the subject that I made afterwards. But again, I took ya out of context, and I apologize!!! Thanks in advance Carlos !
:| Find one single post by me calling it a robbery. If you don't, you're gonna look like more of a ***** that you usuall do. I in fact said it could go either way and that I was cool with any decision. Now what? (I know, insult insult, you're this and that)
bump look at how many people scored round 1 to JMM, while all three judges, even the one who scored the fight for Marquez, scored round 1 to Pacquiao. Thats why the opinion of message board fans who are watching it on TV or on a chopped up stream matters less than the professional opinion of the 3 judges in an elevated position right in front of the ring. this was the best fight I've ever seen unfold live..
:blood Absolute non-logic. That's basically tantamount to saying "judges are always right anytime three of them happen to be in agreement".
no, its like saying that if all three judges score a round for a fighter, especially if one of these judges has clearly shown that he is not biased towards that fighter, then the odds are that their scoring of that round is more accurate than that of people watching the fight on TV or on a stream. nothing illogical about it.
Okay, but it still comes down to subjectivity when you're talking about close rounds. I don't think the fact that the judge who scored the fight for Marquez gave the first to Pacquiao in and of itself warrants too much reading into. Also, the judges don't have the advantage of re-watching the fight on tape and observing/analyzing nuances and then changing their official scorecards - once they're submitted, they're a matter of record. Obviously that's just the way it goes but to say that ringside in real-time is a better scoring perspective than fans watching in 2D (live or pre-recorded) isn't quite accurate.. If it was a lopsided round that a majority of ESB scored one way and the three judges another, that'd be one thing - but it was a close round.
