Body Shots don't win fights!! Heads shots only count

let it go guys the boxing wolrd have decided to rob lara im shocked that the FANS are saying canelo won...and NO im not a canelo hater nor a lara fan in fact i was rooting for saul big time even predicted a ninth round tko but he lost that fight...

 

89 media score cards 34 for Canelo, 30 Lara and 25 draw don't see the robbery you are talking about.

Most polls on who won the fight are fairly even.

 

no way canelo won 7 rounds god damnit!! like i said its like the whole boxing world wanted canelo to win so bad they are lying to themself anyway i let it go knowing what i saw.im still gonna love canelo im more hating ODH right now

 

Your scoring is perfect and everyone else is lying to themselves I guess.

What I and many others seen was a close fight that could have went either way.

 

the fight was close but not either way a draw was the biggest possible stretch.

 

I'm embarrassed on you behalf. How can you possibly say that with any degree of certainty? So 30 Paulie jabs are better than 30 Cotto body punches? You sir are a genuine bonafide electrified moron.

 

Saying body shots don't count is clearly incorrect, they are scoring punches, especially if they are hard clean hooks to the body. Might as well say jabs should't could because a jab alone can't win you a fight and you rarely see a fighter dropped or KO'ed by a jab.

It's about the quality of the punch and we judge that based upon how cleanly the punch lands and the effect on the opponent.

Nope. This is worse.

Those were opinions, or prognostications, which ended up being wrong. This is factually incorrect from the get.

 

SweetSci is mentally ******ed.

Clean, effective punches landed are what counts in scoring. It doesn't matter if it's to the body or head. If one fighter lands cleaner and more effective punches than his opponent, he wins the round.

 

The funny thing about this is that the fight played out similarly in terms of the ratio of punches land and the distribution of head/body shots to Mayweather vs. Castillo I... Mayweather landed exclusively to the head and Castillo exclusively to the body. Similar to Alvarez vs. Lara. It is why both are close fights and often debated. It's "the body shot argument." I love body work, personally. But given scoring criteria, Alvarez owned in the Ring Generalship and Effective Aggression portions while Lara did nothing in those regards.
