De La Hoya Mosley II

Sure, whatever you say. I guess I'm just not a mindreader...:roll:

 

On the contrary, I had a point which I stated:

You did not offer any possible alternative conclusion that could be drawn from your response. Your only retort was that my point was childish. If some other conclusion were possible from your response, you failed to put it forth. Therefore my conclusion, while not certain, in the absence of any other, was likely correct. Calling it childish, without evidence, failed to refute it.

I'll accept that you weren't trying to insult, but simply stating something as childish without stating why, fails to address the point.

 

*YAWN* you win...atsch

 

Nor am I.

One doesn't have to be a mindreader to infer what was probably in a person's mind, based on what they've said.

(As an example, if I hear you say: "I really need to eat soon", I might conclude that you were hungry. Other explanations for such a statement are possible, but in their absence, hunger is the most likely explanation.

And one doesn't have to be a mindreader to arrive at such a conclusion)

 

No-one has won, nor lost.

Things are just a bit clearer.

 

What is w/ people & scoring rounds even? I think that's a cop out and it's rare that a round should ever be scored even.

 

You might be right.

If a round is very close (and they sometimes are) it can be very hard to decide who won it.

One solution would be to score every round for one or other fighter. That might lead to judges having an internal bias. (Last round was nearly even but I gave it to A, so if this round is close, I should give it to B)

Another possible solution would be to score all rounds even unless one fighter had a clear margin. That way, with only clear rounds counting, fighters might be more aggressive and fight harder every round.

A final possible solution (which has some serious drawbacks) would be to have the fight continue until a KO or until one fighter felt he couldn't (or didn't want to) continue. This would end robberies and 'gift' decisions.

 

IMO, Mosley won that fight by a close margin.


DLH threw a lot of combinations but never really made a lot of impact. A lot of rounds were close but the difference was made when DLH seemingly faded down the stretch. That's when how I got him winning.


btw, that's how Oscar fought PBF but lost the decision. how ironic.

 

Losses to Quartey, Mosley I, Sturm, Hopkins, Mayweather

Draw with Whitaker

Close wins over Trinidad, Mosley II

IMO.

 

de la hoya should of won

 

Mute the fight and re-watch it. In a poll of 28 sportswriters at ringside, 16 scored it for Mosley, eight for De La Hoya and four had it as a draw. Close fight, but the right guy won.
