I have Leonard-Duran 1 being a very close fight whenever I score it, and called it a draw the last time I watched the fight in its entirety. Part of this is due to the fact that I scored the last three rounds for Leonard, and part of this is that I guess I just don't buy into the notion that Duran did all the good work over the course of the first 12 rounds, while Leonard did nothing in return. I actually thought Forrest did enough to earn a draw against Quartey.
Erm, I don't think believing Mayweather beat Oscar and Calzaghe beat Hopkins really qualify as "Against The Grain" mate.
suppose but alot of people do think Oscar won or FMJ closely but i had FMJ by about 4 rounds or something no where near close also i had marquez-pac all of tjem by 1 or 2 rounds to JMM
How does a person watch a fight like Leonard-Hearns I and come up with one point difference going into the 14th round? I'm curious to know what the thinking is in such a case.
Hearns wins 4 of the first 5, Leonard wins the next 3, Hearns takes 9-12, Leonard takes 13. 8-5, with a two point round in 13 so that's a two-point difference. Maybe round 7 was a 10-8 on one's card, or one of the Hearns rounds, they had 10-10.
Its been said before but I had Hopkins edging the Calzaghe bout. Collazo easily out-pointing Berto Didnt have Margarito winning any of the first 6 rounds against Cotto. Round 2 was 10-10. Thinking about it these dont seem to be too controversial
Look at Thread Stealer above to see how I scored. I had 7 as a 10-8 round for Leonard, which none of the judges had. But Leonard beat Tommmy from pillar to post in that round without really taking anything in return. So I called it 10-8, even though there was no KD. But I'd have no real problems if someone thinks Hearns should have been 3 points ahead going into the 14:th (more than so I feel is a stretch), but even then Leonard would have a good chance of edging it or at least getting a draw if it went to the cards. By the way, I think that Hearns won the rematch with 4 or 5 points.
Agreed. I had Casamayor beating Diamond...scored it the one and only time Ive seen the fight though .
