Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker & Alexander Povetkin vs. David Price RBR.

Okay, I rescored it, this time watching the Sky broadcast, wow the Froch ass kissing fest was abhorrent. It was almost as biased as Atlas and Tessitore during the Pac-Horn match. But as with those two, I never let outside influences effect me, I can totally block them out.


Round 1 Joshua 10-9 Very Close
Round 2 Parker 10-9
Round 3 Parker 10-9 Close
Round 4 Joshua 10-9 Very Close
Round 5 Parker 10-9
Round 6 Parker 10-9 Close
Round 7 Parker 10-9 Very Close
Round 8 Joshua 10-9
Round 9 Parker 10-9
Round 10 Joshua 10-9 Close
Round 11 Parker 10-9 Close
Round 12 Joshua 10-9 Close

115-113 Parker

116-112, 114-114 are also fine.

Quite frankly, this is one of those rare occasions where scorecards like this would be perfectly acceptable. Multiple 10/10 rounds wouldn't be a stretch. The fight was that close.
117-115, 116-114, 116-113, 117-117, 116-116, 115-115

The fight was that close, I switched on Rounds 1, 3, 11 and 12.

The first, third and fourth rounds, there's very little landed between, you can barely separate the two, they're as close to even as you can get, it would be acceptable to score all three 10/10. The seventh Joshua didn't land enough up top, Parker slipped many of his jabs, and he was plugging away, hammering AJ to the body off and on throughout the round, it was enough for me to edge it in Parker's direction, its one of the few rounds even Froch had 10/10, that one deserves a rewatch from many of you. I will admit, I was a little distracted by something, (the cellphone, I was ignoring a call) during the last two rounds yesterday, and didn't concentrate as much as I should have, and flat out missed the last few seconds of the 12th, which is where AJ did his best work, so I got that one wrong, but it was still fairly close with Parker doing some decent body work.

That being said, my original score, aside from the 11th and 12th is perfectly fine as well.

 

Give the 6th, 7th and 11th another far closer look, preferably with the volume off.

 

No, I didn't get 6 goddamn scores you idiot. I was merely pointing out, that there were many near 10/10 rounds in the match. Maybe you should go through the match and explain to me just what in the f*** that you're seeing that made the rounds so definitively lopsided for Joshua. You do realize that certain matches are quite complex, and not a walk in the park to score right? Maybe its you who has no idea what you're doing if you watch this and see a one sided domination. Go after IB why don't you, let's see you try to explain to him he doesn't know what he's watching. Take your blinders off and watch the match with a non biased commentary track or mute it altogether, and watch closely, and see for yourself, most of the punches you think are landing, are not landing, and evidently there's several that you missed that did.

 

I fight my own battles as well. but I find it interesting that countless people on this site have come back with different scores on their second viewing, in fact that happens all the time on here with close fights. And curiously enough, you ignored every last one of them, and focused solely on me. So they can change a round here and there, and that like Parker's body work, goes unseen by you, but you hyper fixate on every little pithy jab I throw. Hmmm, seems like you're singling me out with some kind of agenda. You clearly know I hate AJ and think I've scored in favor of Parker because I'm being biased, oh you're sooo clever, I bet no one else on the site had that thought, huh? But it would ruin your narrative to take issue with anyone else who scored it close or for Parker because they don't fit the stereotype you're painting me with. You don't want your narrative to be upended, so you focus on the one you think is compromised by an agenda, and nothing I say will be suitable for you, because you're already convinced the opposite is true. So me arguing my point with you is pointless isn't it? All the while you ignore the agenda less posters that can shoot holes in your line of BS.

Listen you ****ing shithead, it isn't a sign of weakness or lack of confidence in a score to give various possible scores, because some fights just happen to shake out like that, yes, there are occasionally matches that are ambiguous, and that scores in either direction are acceptable, hence why some matches shouldn't be considered a robbery, and others should be. If a match is full of 95/5 type rounds and the score swings in the favor of the 5% fighter, then that's a robbery, when a match is full of 51/49 type rounds, that means it can go either way, got it numbnuts? Its open to interpretation. Since I'm logical, rational, and very reasonable I try to see things from every possible angle, unlike you evidently, who seems quite dogmatic and sees things in black and white.

Was this match a robbery, as I stated on another thread, no, it wasn't, but was the lopsided scores egregious, absolutely. This was a 1 or 2 rounds swing either way type match, and if you can't see that, then maybe you should find a new sport to follow, because you seem to lack the comprehension to fully process what you're watching, boxing might just be a bit too hard for you to follow. Some matches are close and can go either way, some are definitive. Understand child?

The only ones with the bias, are the guys with AJ by shutout.
