Most controversial decisions or fights to close to call

Watch it again bud, I thought that, however it wasn't as close as I first thought when I watched it back, a clear Toney win in a close fight I thought on second viewing.


I had McCallum winning the rematch something like 8-4, he just outworked Toney.


My card.........


1 McCallum ( very close)

Toney inactive , McCallum dictated the pace and was consistent throughout, this was an extremely close round, punch stats ...........35% of McCallums punches landed compared to 29% for James

2 Toney

Good round for Toney, he took it on the more solid punches landed, although mccallum seemed!
to be a little more active with the jabs.

3 McCallum
He controlled it with the jab, dictate the pace, he landed a sneaky right hand, he also landed a clipping left hook
after that.

4 McCallum

Toney scored the best punch of the round, however
McCallum landed the jab consistently throughout to head and body
he also landed a number of right hands, some were countered by toney, some were not,
i could not give toney this round on one punch, he was too inactive here,
McCallum jabbed the belly and head throughout whilst also landing counter rights


5 McCallum

Toney landed the best punch of the round, a cracking right hand but i
cant score a round on 1 solid punch, not when McCallum landed his own
counter right hands and threw the jab consistently to the body and head, not as
effectively as he did in other round, but toney virtually did nothing aside from that right
hand, in this round McCallum threw 356, landed 132, 37%, toney threw 320, landed 116, 36%

6 Toney

(Jab through 5 rounds..............McCallum landed the jab 93 times to Toney's 63 times)

Arguably Toneys best round, he landed quite a few solid shots in this
round, it was unlike round 4/5 where he landed one great punch but
got outworked, he still didn't do a lot here but he landed a number of those solid
shots as appose to one like in the previous two rounds.


7 Toney
Toney scored the more effective solid shots but mccallm closed well, still gave it to
Toney though. 40% each through 7 rounds


8 Toney

More solid punches scored by Toney in this round, although McCallum closed it up towards the end, still
a toney round though imo.

9 McCallum "Bill Miller to Toney " were losing this fight"

McCallum's best round in terms of solid punches landed on James



10 Toney

11 Toney

------------------------------------------
McCallum vs Toney 2

1 Toney

He landed the cleaner blows and for a change he was more active than he was
in some of the rounds of the first fight.

2 Mccallum ( Toney landed 32, threw 118, 27 %, McCallum landed 45, thew 127, 35%

Toney started well but faded, McCallum controlled the action
from there on in by landing consistently with the jab, body shots
and a nice left hook.

3 Toney
Good solid round for Toney, he was fairly consistent with his
workrate.

4 Toney
Landed the better, more solid shots, McCallum closed well but not enough
for me.


5 McCallum

Both landed good shots but more so McCallum, he landed more consistently
throughout the round, his jab was consistent also.

6 McCallum

Toney was too inactive, McCallum dictated the action with his
jab and scored effectively to the body.


7 McCallum (very close)

Toney was too inactive imo, although he did land some solid shots, he
was far too inactve for me, whilst McCallum was consistent with his
acttack.

Through round 7 McCallum has thrown 490 punches, landed 200
Toney has thrown nearly a 100 fewer punches and landed 75 fewer.


8 Toney ( Point deduction from McCallum, absolute BS, he did a Pernell Whitaker backhand in the clinch)
Toney scored some good inside right hands off the ropes, whilst rolling McCallum's shots.

9 McCallum (Toney only threw 50 punches in this round, leasted amount of punches thrown for either
fighter in either of their two fights)

Toney waay!! too inconsistent, McCallum was on top of him working away the whole
round.

(punches threw 10, Toney landed 184, threw 575, 32%
Mccallum landed 287, 704, 41%)

10 Toney

Better round for toney, more active.

11 McCallum
Consistently attacked the whole round.


McCallum has landed nearly a 100 more punches

12 mccallum
Good round for McCallum, he out landed Toney and scored well.



Toney clearly should not have won this fight imo, he got outworked throughout, he did land the harder
shots in some round but he was waay too inactive in most of the rounds.

Round 2 ( Toney landed 32, threw 118, 27 %, McCallum landed 45, thew 127, 35%)

fighter in either of their two fights)

(punches threw 10, Toney landed 184, threw 575, 32%

7 rounds to 5, Toney did not win even with Cortez's BS point deduction.

I scored the first fight for Toney tonight and i can hold my hands up and say having thought Toney got lucky the first
time i saw it having scored it he won a clear competitive fight, but no way did he win this rematch, McCallum
clearly won this imo.

 

Dale Brown Vs. O'Neil Bell was a total mismatch! Bells' fans booed the sick decision.

 

Oh give it up man

Morales lost a clear decision in the first fight, could be wide or could be close either way anything that favored Morales was a clear cut robbery.

Morales won a razor thin decision in the 2nd fight, one could score it for Barrera if they were reaching for him.

Morales lost the 3rd fight clearly and was out of distance before the championship rounds.

 

Try Hatton/Collazo

Ive rewatched the fight 4 different times and everytime I change my scorecard for the other fighter.

 

IMO, Toney won both fights based on the harder punches.

In the first fight McCAllum just landed 3 more punches overall. Toney hurt him a few times during this fight and McCallum was out on his feet in the 12th round which could have been scored a 10-8 round.It was competitive but Toney won by anywhere from 2 to 4 points.


Second fight. Though he landed many more blows, McCallum only threw arm punches, nothing on them. In the first fight McCAllum threw punches with much more authority. Once again, Toney lands the harder, more telling blows. I scored this one 7-5 for Toney. With the point deduction, that gives a three point margin for Toney.

 

jeff fenech - azumah nelson 1.

 

I had it pretty similar, Williams 114-112


Yes, I can admit that I am biased, but trying to watch this fight objectively, this is what I come up with.

 

not hard to tell where you're from

 

i'll stay on point if you can tell me why you want to dismiss the hatton-collazo and froch - dirrell fights so easily.

 

you've definitely got a strong british bias though. i remember posting on your "why does hatton not get the respect he deserves?" thread - which i agreed with.

shame you're posting like you did above though because you've definitely got some nationalism there somewhere

EDIT : which isn't necessarily bad unless it's the basis for your arguments..

 

I am not a strong Hatton fan , but if a fighter wins the first 6 or 7 rounds , plus a knockdown , then loses the last 5 rounds he doesnt lose the fight. Period. Infact if anything the more contentious bout was Collazo vs Berto .
