With all the rage that is rewatching fights in slow-mo, has anyone done this? With Floyd-Pac, it wasn't a particularly close fight, Floyd clearly won, and disgruntled fans are now grasping at straws. What about in a legitimately close fight that could have gone either way, like Hopkins-Calzaghe? I can't be arrsed to do it, and I think watching fights in slow-mo is beyond silly, but nonetheless I'm hoping someone else does. :smoke
Don't need slow mo, I watched it real time Rumsy and think Ex won 6 rounds so the kd brought him home a winner.
In all seriousness, which 6 did you give him? I scored the fight similarly (114-113) but respected the decision, and I was truly impressed with Calzaghe that night. It was the only time I had ever seen someone outwork and outhustle Bernard in the championship rounds, and to this day I'm disappointed we never got the chance to see a rematch.
Calzaghe appears to throw more punches in slow-motion than in pseudo-real time (slow-motion is the true time). A lot of phantom punches were missed by the judges and the compubox numbers are WAY off. Calzaghe won that fight 13 rounds to 0.
I can't remember tbh, I think I gave him the first 4 rounds, or 5 of the first 6. I'll rewatch sometime. I remain convinced to this day Ex won, and although Hopkins is one of my favourite fighters, Ive nothing but respect for Joe, who was under-rated for way too long.
No need for slow motion you can see 80% of Calzaghe's blows are ILLEGAL!! slaps. Delivered by the inside of the glove. It used to be called lacing. No way in Hades Calzaghe LEGITIMATELY won that & he knows it. Hence ducking the rematch in Walesatsch
I've done so at least 150-200 times, and triple that amount in normal speed. Hence why I was able to spot all the subtle headbutts B-Hop sneaked in that many missed. This is just a small selection of some of them by way of an example. [YT]f611ZJcs2mg[/YT] [YT]bHc_7lCT-rM[/YT]
Manny Stewart said it best, Rummy. " This wasn't a difficult fight to score." 9-3 or 8-4 with a flash KD, so 116 -111 or 115- 112. Which is how the two American judges who can actually see, scored the bout.
