Bowe Tubbs: Score it yourself

I don't know my card but I know I scored it 95-95 when I saw it last a few years back.

I will make a point of re-watching this and seeing what I think. I remember it being a pretty good fight, for the mix of styles.

 

It was a very close fight. KO mag. at the time thought Tubbs won. Dan Dierdorf, the announcer, thought Bowe clearly won. Of course, Dan Dierdorff didn't know boxing, as was usually obvious during his telecasts. Tubbs was, as usual, boring, but effective. He moved enough to confuse Bowe. Bowe couldn't land anything significant on the wily Tubbs. That's what Tubbs did at his best. He shut down your offense, then countered with quick, but soft punches. He was a Jimmy Young type of fighter. The judges rarely appreciate their subleties.

 

Tubbs. 8-2.

 

I watched it a bit more than a year ago. Don't have my scorecard anymore, but I remember considering a draw a fair verdict.

 

I scored it a draw another time this thread came up, really prefered Tubbs movement, defense, jab and coutner punching.

 

The consensus was,,,,,,,,from the boxing scribes,,,,,,,,a Draw.

Riddick Bowe failed to impress.

 

6-4 Bowe

 

I remember barely giving the fight to Bowe, both times I watched it.. Once many years ago, and once perhaps two years ago.. I think 6 rounds to 4 was fair, but neither man can claim to decisively beating the other..
