I scored it for Jack. Obviously I was pulling for Bute since Im admittedly a Bute BOOMAYE fan...... But as you said, and I CLEARLY said in my first post, Jack beat Bute at his own game, which is body punching. I scored rds 1, 10,11,and 12 for Bute. There was a close rd, I think 5 maybe, where Bute MIGHT have fought even, but the rest were pretty clear for Jack. As I said.....best performance by a top SMW vs a top SMW since Ward/Froch in 2010. As for the body shots.....yeah....most were very well placed...dozen or so, low, but only 2-3 obvious ones, and yes, the body work and lead R hand, carried the fight for Jack. Jack WILL beat DeGale. Jack has NO WORRIES at SMW outside of Golovkin moving N.....and unless GGG can break contract with HBO.....Jack can always hide behind the network.:thumbsup
Didn't see the fight, but if Jack won and he got a draw, maybe Haymon is trying to protect both of his investments. Don't blame the judges, blame the puppetmaster. Bad scorecards are fairly common under his banner these days.
CST80 ahem. Though when there's some ****ery going on with the scoring, his scores tend to portend what could happen. Yeah, Jack clearly beat Bute, and the fight made me a Jack fan because of how disciplined and fundamentally sound he is. Gotta love a boxer who invests in body work, and he had an obscene power punch landed percentage of 61%. At least he didn't lose his belts over this robbery.
It was a draw? Damn lol, I thought Bute clearly lost and I picked him to win. Jack was landing more, he landed good shots and I don't even like Jack, but he's changed my mind about him...
This.....thumbsup:thumbsup However....even though he was ROBBED of his decision win, he could have been more graceful since he was robbed of his title or his earning potential. This draw does nothing negative to his reputation, his fanbase, or his end game. It may have aided Bute in remaining relative for the time being, but I would have become a stronger fan of his had he been more gracious. His statement SHOULD have been....."I felt I won the fight. If the rounds were that close, I didnt know it." He should have said that Bute was tougher than he expected, but he was prepared and fought his fight and took it clearly. If he goes on with this boxing politics tirade following in Floyds footsteps, he'll end up with more haters than fans. :-(
No doubt. DeGale looked like an old fighter last night. Jack beats the brakes off of Bumlovkin, IMO...
He could just look like a 30 year old fighter that was never that good. Maybe Golovkin beats the breaks off him, or not.
Yeah, you got checked and you know it. By you being the paper poster that you are, why don't you check my old posts, if it's a blaintent injustice, I call it and I don't care it who it is. I called the Browne decision bad because it was and I also called you a fake ass paper poster, which you are.
