10-8 round for Maidana in rounds 1 and 9

Nah i dont do 10-8 rounds unless other dude didnt land almos anything at all. round 1 was a fell out round, Broner didnt take a beating. he lost it but 10-8, no

 

He landed hardly anything at all and started taking a real beating in the 1st. :huh

As for being 10-8 without a KD, borderline call there.

 

There should've been a few 10-8 rounds, more so due to the points deductions Broner should've had.

 

:yep


"Stop elbowing.

I mean it. Stop elbowing.

OMGWTFBBQ. :twisted: Get the wax outta your ears. Stop elbowing.

Dude I will elbow you myself if you throw one more elbow. Knock it off.

Adrien, pretty soon I'm going to have to start entertaining the notion of deducting a point if you throw five more flagrant elbows. :nono"

Broner did a lot of pushing when he still had the strength to do it.

The kid took a hell of a beating in there. Broner never got a chance to get his composure back. Horrible fight by Broner. Will it teach him though..........who knows?

I think the fighter would need to be staggered on his feet to get a 10-8.

 

I still scored the 9th a 9-8 round for Maidana for the reasons you mentioned. Maidana dominated the round regardless.

I disagree about the point deduction though. It was an obvious "intentional" foul, which is a point deduction. It does not matter how hard he hit him with the head, but the fact he deliberately tried to use it.

It was actually very stupid on Maidana's part. If he would have actually connected a significant headbutt, and Broner was legitimately unable to continue because of it, Maidana would have been DQ'd. I know "why" he did it, but again, it was a stupid move and could have cost him a fight he was easily winning.

I'm glad the intentional foul incident did not affect the outcome of the fight.

 

I scored the fight as it unfolded live.

And yes, I scored the first round 10-8.

Adrien did nothing but retreat. He landed five punches in total most of them ineffective.

He got hit 27 times, most of them damaging blows that left him confused and discombobulated.

A round that one-sided can legitimately be scored 10-8.

 

In the rounds in question he was on that verge.

 

I tend to only score a 10-8 round if the fighter is hurt and dominated.

First round was 10-9, but the 9th was very close to being a 10-8.

 

Agreed, it was blatantly intentional on Maidana's part. (although one could argue he was justified by the arm-pinning coming after repeated clinching and dirty tactics with the shoves and elbows from Broner all night...of course two wrongs don't make a right, but in boxing as in hockey that logic usually gets fuzzy ...)

 

The 1st was pretty close to being one as well, and not just because Maidana set an unexpected tone. Go back and look at Broner's eyes, dude was on high alert and already in some pain.

 

You can definitely make a case for round 1 being 10-8 I've just rewatched it. Broner gets hurt pretty bad in the 1st ten seconds then takes a beating for the rest of the round trying to tie maidana up.

 

:nod :deal

I think people who are yet to give it a second watch are being overly careful not to 'overreact' to how surprising it was that Maidana bossed him.

It really is no overreaction to call the 1st dominant. He didn't just boss him and establish immediate clear ring generalship - he was going for a KO1 and it never seemed out of the question until Broner started walking to his stool to shake off the cobwebs and game plan for the 2nd...

 

I thought you could only score a 10-8 round if a kd or point deduction happens
