also, i gave Ruslan the benefit of the doubt in Rd 6. even though Bradley controlled the majority of that round quite easily, he got shook up in the last 30 secs, and was still landing punches while dazed. Ruslan got him hurt, that's the only reason i gave round 6 to him. but was still outlanded.
The second round should have been 10-8. Timmy was out on his feet in that round and the fight could very well have been stopped.
Whats crazy is Pacquiao allegadly landed twice as many shots on Tim and came out looking like this think This content is protected
i know right? lol. don't think i saw Tim hurt once in the Manny fight. Tim has a habbit of beating fighters, then those same fighters go on to do big things in the future. Ruslan might fit in that category, along with Peterson, Alexander, Abregu, etc...
sorry but Tim was fighting back too well in both those rounds regardless of if he was out on his feet for me to give Ruslan a 10 - 8 round in the first 2.
actually that Knock down in round one nope NO Knock down watching this **** again, Ruslan did hit him with a solid shot, buzzed Tim no doubt, Tim moved in to try and work, missed a shot was bending forward and Ruslan pushed on his back... I still scored it 10-8 though watching it live rightfully scored 10-9 by the judges
Those delayed reaction shots can go either way, I don't really care as long as it is called consistently in the match and Russell was consistent. That said I don't think it was a knockdown, mainly because of the reasons bazooka stated.
The point of giving your score card is to deflect from what the ref. and judges call atsch Otherwise, why argue with the official card?
I thought it was watching it live, but looking at it again on HBOs replay its clearly NOT a knock down he had Tim hurt with a right hand but as I said Tim puled his hands up moved inside to get back and was pushed down. Just got done with the 2nd round NO ****ING WAY you can score that 10-8
Exact same score here. I scored a 10-8 Rd. 2 on fight night, but I got badly fooled by the moment and by Max Kellerman. It's definitley a 10-9 round.
People keep acting like the first round was the only point that can swing. Round 6 was difficult to score. Swing that round to Bradley and the 10-8 doesn't matter. And I can honestly accept an argument for either guy winning that round.
The only rounds Ruslan won was when he hurt Bradley, other rounds he took a rest and Bradley clearly outboxed him. Had it 115-112 Bradley and scoring the KD for Rusland would have just made it closer, not change the decision.
Sven Ottke was also undefeated..... Bradley has a loss and everyone knows it. I know someone will call bea *******, but let's be real here.
