If you're telling me that Wilder was ahead (or at least as if that is somehow clear and not debetable), you need to watch the fight again, not me.
I have.. still have Wilder ahead. What the **** are you watching to see Spzilka winning other than just hatred of Wilder?
I wasn't scoring out of hate, truth be told I don't even hate him all that much and even though I'll admit I do not like him, I give him credit when it's due, he's one guy (who I don't like) who I don't find it hard to give credit to simply because even I think he sometimes gets too much undue hatred. I'll say this though, even if Szpilka wasn't putting on some master class boxing exhibition, he was winning the rounds based on just doing slightly more than Wilder who himself didn't come out of his shell in the early goings, Szpilka was just putting in better work, was more active. Wilder was timid and was landing even less than Szpilka. At best, you can make an argument that it's a close fight and you can have it either way because the rounds were close but I've seen even Wilder's fans have Szpilka ahead for crying out loud so it's not just "Oh it's only cause you're hating".
"Doing slightly more and be more active" doesn't win you rds, throwing significant punches do! You could see Artur's head been snapped back pretty much every rd so even that Artur's "was more active" he lost the rd because of that. 1 hard clean right hand will score more that 10 unnecessary jabs. Your welcome
I had it close, but i can't complain if someone else had it one or two rounds up for either guy as there were many close rounds. I never understand why people cry robbery or corruption when fights have many close rounds. Close rounds indicate a close fight, but the final scoring can rightly be quite wide and not indicative of the fight. It is not corruption. It is just basic maths. As for this fight, i had Artur starting well, but Wilder was starting to find his range and was landing more from round 5 onwards. Artur performed well, but he really wasnt landing many clean shots. Wilder wasn't landing many either, but he landed more clean shots in the second half of the fight. Yes Artur made Wilder miss a lot, but it is clean effective punching that ultimately wins you a fight. Another problem with fans scoring that you often see and could have played a part here, is they can consciously or unconsciously give more credit than they should to the underdog. As Artur performed better than he ever has before and made Wilder look ragged, people may score a close round to him. This is wrong. It doesn't matter who is the favourite, underdog or champion. Both guys are treated as equals and their pasts means nothing. Both guys are only judged on what they do in the ring that night.
There's only one answer: the PAC-May Slow-Mo Test. Everyone needs to watch this frame by frame and report back. I already did it and I have Floyd ahead of both Wilder and Artur.
Szpilka wasn't landing 10 unnecessary jabs (and 10 jabs > 1 power shot in my eyes anyway), he was dishing back power punches of his own at a higher rate to the extent that it was enough to supercede that one punch Wilder landed.
Most judges, including myself, only score clean power shots and Wilder scored way more clean power shots than Szpilka. 1 clean power shot will always be scored higher than 10 jabs!
I score the way it should be, who's doing most damage, if you don't agree go and watch semi contact Karate with the other cry babies that don't like a real fight.
Whenever there is a PBC/Haymon card Farhood always scores in favor of the A side fighter. You know the guy Haymon wants to keep winning. Guys like Garcia and Thurman.
Yeah, he was never really like that in the ShoBox days. Shame that PBC has brought out this side of him. Lampley Jr., basically.
