Brit Forum scores CONTROVERSIAL fights... #5 Brodie/Chi I

i totally agree, the ref was excellent in the fight...let them work out of the clinches, and was very forceful of the rules that night.

 

Nah, a lot better fight than I remembered it as. 4-3-1 isn't conclusive but (IIRC) the 3 that scored it to Collazo did so by one point so I think we can scrub this one off the "Robbery List"?

 

the robbery list is more like collazo-berto.

 

Well let's be honest the only people who called it a robbery in the first place were either just plain haters (not naming any names) or yanks just trying to **** on Hatton's resume.

 

Yep, I scored for Collazo agianst Berto. Great fight as well.

 

True.

 

I can see you having a "problem" with the 3 point spread but the number of judges who voted for Hatton isn't really an issue. They vote indivually, because a fight is a unanimous it doesn't always mean it wasn't a closer fight than a fight that ended in a split decision, just that the judges happened to agree.

 

I had it 6-6 with a kd for Hatton so 114-113 Hatton.

 

see thats why i think hatton clearly won this fight, even if it was close...he got a UD....its not like marquez/pac 2 where it was split and could have gone either way.

 

throughout the fight i thought collazo was landing the more effective punches and was boxing better OTOH hattons workrate got him through the fight i dont think his punching were as good as collazos i dont like the fact that he clinched as many times as he did

 

It's luck of the draw. I'm not sure how many fighters go into a fight having researched the ref and judges.

The judges probably gave more value to a kd for Hatton than Collazo hurting him in the last round. They could have also preferred Hattons aggression.

It was a close fight that generally people should say it could have gone either way but for me the kd proved pivotal.

 

1 10-8
2 9-10 (VERY tight)
3 10-9
4 10-9 (tight)
5 9-10
6 9-10
7 10-9
8 10-9
9 10-9 (tight)
10 9-10
11 10-9
12 9-10

115-112 Hatton

I have managed to give Hatton round 4 which seems to go against the grain, will watch that again

Other than that I agreed with Lederman's card 100% (I scored mine before he gave his verdicts)

Round 2 was so tight it was ridiculous but I always award one way or the other - simply because the judges seem to do the same


Better fight than I remembered, Collazo did less clean work than I remembered, Hatton lasted better than I remebered although he got sloppy and his strength faded, referee was excellent.


Edit: Rewatched 4. Very tight. Collazo did the cleaner work, Hatton did a bit more, just a very tight round. I'll stick with a Hatton round out of bloody mindedness.
