Alvarado vs. Prescott - official scorecards at the time of the stoppage?

Agreed on all counts. :good

 

...and then he got knocked down. So even if you disagree with the stoppage, it isn't as though he was deprived of a win (going by your own scoring). :good So not really "poor Prescott".

 

I'm a little surprised that with opinions being so split nobody would have had it a draw. (at least there are no votes for the draw yet in the poll). :think All it would take is having five rounds apiece (in what most agree was a desperately close affair) and then the knockdowns would cancel each other out.

 

The ****ed up thing is, Drew - even with a TEN-SEVEN round, Alvarado still couldn't have pulled it out on two of the three judges' cards! :-( atsch

Take those two 87-83 cards for Prescott...add ten points to Alvarado's 83 and seven points to Prescott's 87 and you wind up with 94-93 for Prescott, STILL winning!

 

...but, this time you were right. (in the end) :yep

 

Confirmed!! :rofl

"Alvarado required a knockout to win, since he trailed 87-84 on the cards of Patricia Morse Jarman and Lisa Giampa, and, 86-85, on that of Jerry Roth. Alvarado closed by landing 27 of 38 power shots thrown in the 10th."


Never send a woman to do a man's job. :shake

 

Huh, now that's weird...

The Ring article there says that Jarman and Giampa both had it 87-84 for Prescott (not 87-83 as previously reported).

That's corroborated by this Denver Post article:

and this F-News one:

It isn't that big a change, as it still means that Alvarado would have fallen short with the 10-8 round and lost by a point (instead of by two points).

Had he scored a second knockdown before the end of the 10th and yet failed to get the TKO call, the 10-7 round would have still only earned him a draw on those two cards - not a win.


Still, it would be nice to know exactly WHAT those crazy broads did jot down - if not to cite as references in our conjectural debates then at least just to sate our curiosity...:think

 

See, why can't all notable TV bouts have the complete official cards published like this?

Why is that so rare?

It happens, but only for select bouts. If it's no big deal for them to be published, why not for ALL bouts? :? (at least significant ones...say, televised 10 and 12 rounders).

Case in point:

Fight News has a huge photo gallery, which does contain some images of the physical scribbled-on cards themselves. Half a dozen of them, actually.

These ones:


Arce vs. Vazquez from May

Bradley vs. Alexander from January

Chavez vs. Zbik from June

Pacquiao vs. Marquez from November

Pascal vs. Hopkins I from last December

Williams vs. Lara from July.


More than a calendar year. SIX scorecards.

WTF??? :?
