Maybe we should do an experiment Have a sample group of 5 or 6 posters score the fight without reading the RbR thread and then have everyone else do it as normal. See how the results would differ Would be interesting to see the differences in scores.
Whoa!!!! I don't think people consciously copy, just that in the RbR thread its very easy to reach a concensus how a fight is going and get mentally locked into that.
To be honest I think most people have the same scores anyway or there abouts, it's just the dumb ****s who supposed to be experts and get paid to do it for a job can't seem to manage it. However how much of an impact does a crowd have on the judges, apparently everyone in the crowd though Froch beat Dirrel by miles yet on T.V it was different more even.
For all the talk Anthony Small is A ****ING JOKE. He Has a lot of ability and talent, but he thinks hes ali, jones, hopkins, Mayweather etc. Instead of concentrating on the basic boxing fundamentals, he tries all the moves of the superstars of the sport. It such a shame for small and hatton promotions because small is such a character that had he won they could have build him up. When Naz came along and did all the same talk and same flash moves he backed it up. He destroyed domestic level competition. Unfotuantly for small hes a done deal now.
