A little comic relief showcasing traits (Snipes' right-hand power and Berbick's craziness) that came up in recent threads. Berbick is goofing around with his hands down, taunting Snipes. Gets his guard up but is *just* a little too slow to catch Snipes' punch. https://streamable.com/ml73
Good stuff. I also like how winded Snipes looks in the corner. Not sure he is but he takes a couple deep breaths there. Sent from my NS-P10A6100 using Tapatalk
I remember when I saw this fight I thought, that despite the knockdowns, Berbick came back to win. But Snipes got the decision.
Renaldo could have been a champion in the right circumstances. He definitley had a chance to beat Weaver, but it wasn't to be after he lost to Page.
Vince, I scored this fight recently and this is what I wrote. I saw it when it happened and although I didn't score it, I felt Berbick had done enough to win. I was in the total minority with some people at the time that also watched it, but like then, I seemed to be more impressed with the short jolting punches Berbick would throw while infighting. I read on a message board someone commenting on this fight that they too had Berbick winning so I thought I would check it out again. The fight tends to get sloppy as they tire and there are some subjective rounds that could go either way such as rounds 5, 9 and 10, so I really don't have a problem with the decision or if anyone else scores in Snipes favor. The scoring is on a rounds basis, no extra point for the knockdown unless the fight is scored a draw such as Mercante's card and then they go to supplemental scoring, in which an additional point for the knockdown can be employed.
