~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ Casamayor vs. Katsidis ~ Andrade vs. Stieglitz ~

I've had a name change. I used to be Arc_Arsenal.

Katsidis close UD
Andrade KO 9

 

That would Suck for me,I had Pac by close dec.:|

 

If your'e gonna "alter" decisions because 50% of the forum scored it for the other guy although 70% of them would agree it could have gone either way, then you may aswell scrap this whole thing.

As for now,

Casamayor close UD
Andrade T/KO 7

I havent seen much of these fighters and none of Andrade opponent so going by record here at most.

 

My fault, I just actually READ his posts.
Im not rushing him.... I should've read his post.

 

And 50% of this board had it for close UD or draw for Pac. Picking JMM will just be favouring another 50% opinion despite the judges opinion. Alterations of decisions should only be ever called into question in the case of a robbery, which this was not.

 

With all do respect to Huki and Decebal, if PAC dont count? The league doesnt either:nono

Katsidis TKO 10
Andrade TKO9

 

Andrade TKO/KO 9

Katsidis TKO/KO 6

 

I am the 5th Panel member, and no one PM'd me to ask me whether or not it should be contested. :thumbsup

Here is my very short opinion.

I scored it for JMM. Regardless, it was a close fight that could have gone either way and anyone scoring it for Pacquiao has good reason. It certainly should NOT be contested. The fight counts.

Andrade T/KO 7th

Casamayor Close UD.

 

I see a lot of Katsidis KO/TKO predicitions...

Casa has bever been stopped in his career. Never even close. Are you guys that high on Katsidis (who is a very limited boxer IMO)?

 

Proper way to see it.

 

That is why the panel was created and people agreed upon it's existance so no one should have a problem with it now.

However, I don't believe we should be used for a fight like this. It is perfectly clear there was no robbery here. Something like Sturm-DLH would qualify.

 

Just make sure you keep that panel on a leash

 

Andrade wide UD

Katsidis TKO6

 

My understanding is that it is not up to us. It is up to you.

If a vast majority of the participants in the league feel that there should be a judgement made on the fight, I think then it come down to a unanimous decision by the panel. But very few are calling this a robbery, and frankly, those people seem to have a stake in the fight.

 

It will probably count, even though our "review panel" that was voted on by all league participants didn't even think Pac won. That seems silly to me, but it wouldn't be fair to everyone if I decided on this alone. To tell you the truth, I wish this league had more fights and I regret supporting the blue riband event option because of situations like this. One (what I would call) lucky decision for Pac and there is a huge mountain to climb for all those who picked JMM. Decebal and I will continue running this league however you guys want though and I won't screw everyone over by not counting up scores anymore just because I disagree with something. So basically, you shouldn't worry about the league not being fair.

This is all my opinion by the way, not Decebal's and I'm honestly not trying to be an ******* just because I picked JMM. It seems very reasonable to me to cancel the JMM/Pac fight altogether (because it was a "could go either way" decision according to most people and over half of the posters did score it for JMM), but apparently it doesn't to anyone else so most likely it will count as a Pac win. I don't think a fight needs to be an all out Casamayor-Santa Cruz robbery for it to not count. If it's a fight that most people scored for the guy who didn't win, I think it should be cancelled, or at the very least voted on/looked at.
