Fights that supposedly looked very different at ringside than they appeared on TV.

Supposedly this happens more often than most people think and is one of the reasons people cry "robbery" so often. Any examples?

 

Yeah, that's the classic example.

 

That's a great avatar. I almost expect that bear to turn around and bite his face.

 

golota threw a left hook to the pandas balls right after that picture was taken

 

I wouldn't doubt it. Look at the expression on his face. He's relishing the thought of socking that poor animal in the sac.

 

:yep:yep:yep

 

Holyfield/Valuev is the prime example. McGrain has often quoted how 33/35 or something similar analysts at ringside gave it to Valuev - yet TV audience was near unanimous in scoring for Holyfield.

 

Commentary often distorts how people perceive things on TV. Take Froch/Dirrell and Valuev/Holyfield as examples. Both were clear wins for Froch and Valuev but because of the bias in the commentary, some people who know nothing about boxing (mostly Americans) think they lost.

 

Shoulder bite seems much more likely.

Apparently Lewis/Holy looked REALLY different from 1 angle (which I've read was her actual excuse for the scorecard).

 

I expect him to bite the bear. Maybe even sock the bear in the nuts.

 

From what I hear, Cotto - Moseley.

 

Like the British broadcasting tandem.

Sorry to TS. Couldn't resist.

 

Judging from tv Dirrell clearly won the fight. Froch hardly landed a punch. Dirrell boxed circles around him and made him look like a journeyman for a lot of the fight.
