Closest fight you ever saw

Pacquiao V Hatton

 

Problem with many of the fights listed is that they were like two different fights, all except Pac vs JMM I in which Pac scored the three knockdowns then pretty much lost every round after that. Castillo Mayweather one was two fights. The first six rounds Floyd dominated Castillo and won 6 of the first 7 rounds and then Castillo come on strong after Floyd broke his hand and won 4 or the last 5. The last impression is the strongest and that made alot of people think that Castillo won overriding what happened early in the fight. Rescoring a fight is pointless after you have already seen the fight, because you already have an idea of what is going to happen and your predisposed. Meaning your mind is already pretty much made up.

Shane vs Oscar one was close but the winner was clear. The rematch was the same except the wrong man got the dec. Froch vs Dirrell wasnt that close either it was more of a job, Froch couldnt land any shots, if you dont land punches its hard for you to win a fight, its that simple. Taylor vs Hopkins was just like floyd vs Castillo were Taylor dominated the early part and hopkins came on strong at the end and swayed people even though the you cant go back and change the rounds that are already in the bank.

For me the closest fight I can remember was Paulie Ayala vs Bones Adams I. That was a fight were it seemed they took turns winning rounds. It was a perfect DRAW fight if I have ever seen one..

 

Wow your on to something here, he didnt win of course they will say he needed to do more. I think that Dirrell was upset because he know that he could have done more. But he also said that what he did he felt was enough to win the fight. A point that most agree with.

 

DLH-Whitaker.

 

When even *******s have to resort to "close", you know Marquez won.

Noone aside from *******s describe it as "close".

This just like DLH's wife saying the Floyd bout was a draw. When your wife says it's a draw, you lost buddy.

 

Since when did running away all night win boxing matches?

 

The 10-7 score made me think that they wanted the fight to be a draw so there would be a rematch for more money. But Marquez went off and fought other fighters instead afterwards.

 

Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams was pretty close.

 

The two most fundamental aspects of boxing are "hitting" and "not getting hit".

You call not getting hit, "running". I call it boxing. I suppose you think Roy Jones "ran" from James Toney?

Froch-Dirrell wasn't a close fight. Dirrel won, clearly, by at least a couple of rounds. That's not to say it was a good performance from Dirrel, it wasn't. But Froch was shockingly bad.

AND

If Froch is incapable of cutting off the ring and working the body to slow his "running" opponent down, then he doesn't deserve to win the fight anyway. Whether his opponent is "running" or not.

 

swinging and not connecting doesn't win a boxing match either. The real losers in that fight were the ones who chose to watch it:dead

 

Eubank had four fights that seemed genuinely level mathematically or one way or the other in a subjective sense.

Watson I, Thornton, Benn II, Collins I.

With Eubank-Watson I and Eubank-Benn II, each time you score them you score them different! They were two that seemed genuinely even.

 

Since when the guy that was running landed 10 shots a round and the guy that was chasing only landed 4 per round.

 

Eubank looked the better boxer-puncher in each of those fights - sharper jab, nicer combos, and sneakier counters.

But he could be out-worked.

 

Most recent one I just watched was Williams/Martinez
