    Frank Fletcher vs Clint Jackson

    Between the 5 of us, this was the consensus.
    Frank - Clint
    1. 10 - 9 (all of us)
    2. 10 - 9 (same)
    3. 9 - 10 (we all had it for Clint but Philly, who had it even)
    4. 9 - 10 (we all had it for Jackson, except me, who had it for Frank)
    5. 10 - 9 (all but Jel, who had it even)
    6. 10 - 9 (all)
    7. 10 - 9 (Rorsch & Philly had it for Jackson. Me, Jel and Rough didn't)
    8. 10 - 9 (all)
    9. 10 - 9 (all but me & Rough, I had it for Jackson, Rough had it even)
    10. 10 - 9 (all but me and Rorsch who had it for Jackson)
    11. 9 - 10 (all of us, except Jel, who had it for Frank)
    12. 10 - 9 (all but Jel, who had it for Clint)

    Seems like there's a few rounds that could go either way, namely 3, 7 & the final 3.
    The totals we had were
    @rorschach51: 115-113
    Me : 117-111
    @Jel, @roughdiamond & @PhillyPhan69 : 117-112

    Well you didn't do them and it's my thread so... Yeah! And I'll have you know I'm set to get an A in maths in my GCSE. Your ego will have to take solace in that

    Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelley

    Consensus between the 3 of us.
    Naz - Kelley
    1. 8 - 10 (all)
    2. 10 - 9 (Rorsch had it even)
    3. 9 - 10 (all)
    TOS.

    Easy one to score, not much variance here. The KD fiasco of the 2nd, can see it anyway tbh.
    Me, @PhillyPhan69 and @Jel had it 29-27
    @rorschach51 had it 30-27.

    I'm sorry, but if anybody had Ramirez winning either fight with Pea, they need to pick up another sport to score. Boxing just aint your thing.

    that is a very clever argument! If someone disagrees with you, tell them to follow another sport. Didn’t you refuse to score a point deduction from Whitaker in the DLH fight??? Just because you like Whitaker? Yes this seems unbiased?

    Not entirely accurate. I don't agree with a point being deducted from Whitaker for an accidental headbutt. Not that I refuse to account for it. When asked to account for it, it will be accounted for, as I've done so in the past which you are aware of. All I ever said was, if you ask me who did better in a particular fight, ya know, who landed more... who avoided more punches... who landed more power shots... who controlled the ring... who was knockdown etc etc. Those are some of the most fundamental aspects of who did better against another in a particular fight and won.... Tell me, how does an accidental headbutt play any role in determining who did better in a fight, and did better is some of the categories listed, the most fundamental categories of doing better than your foe?

    I see you entirely ignored the reason why Philly responded to you in the first place. Seems about right, carry on.

    Rolando Naravette Vs Bazooka Limon

    4 of us again (sorry for missing you @PhillyPhan69 :p), I make the consensus/average as this:
    Rd. Nara - Limon
    1. 9 - 10 (all but Philly, who disagreed with the rest of us, he had Naravete winning)
    2. 9 - 10 (all, but Jel had Nara winning
    3. 10 - 9 (all)
    4. 10 - 10 (Rorsch and Philly had it for Nara, Jel and I had it for Limon)
    5. 10 - 9 (all)
    6. 10 - 10 (see round 4)
    7. 10 - 10 (see rounds 4&6)
    8. 9 - 10 (all of us scored it for Limon)
    9. 9 - 10 (all of us but Jel scored it for Limon, Jel had it for Naravette)
    10. 10 - 9 (all of us but myself had it for Limon)
    11. 10 - 9 (All of us)

    Lots of twists here actually. Rounds 4,6&7 can definitely be split differently.
    I had it 106-103 for Limon
    @Jel had it 105-104, @PhillyPhan69 had it 107-102 and @rorschach51 had it 105-103, all in favour of Naravette.

    Paul Williams vs Sergio Martinez

    Again, just the Fab 4 of the Forum. The rounds...
    Williams-Martinez
    1. 9 - 10 (Unanimous)
    2. 9 - 10 (again, all of us had it the same)
    3. 10 - 10 (me and Jel had it for Williams, Rorsch and Philly had it for Serg)
    4. 10 - 9 (all of us had it for Williams, except Philly who had it for Martinez)
    5. 10 - 9 (Unanimous)
    6. 10 - 9 (again, all for one, all for Williams)
    7. 10 - 10 (Philly and Rorsch had it for Williams, whilst me and Jel had it for Serg)
    8. 10 - 10 (like above, but with me and Jel having it for Martinez, and Philly and Rorsch having it for Williams)
    9. 10 - 10 (another even, although it's me and Philly giving it to Williams this time, and Rorsch and Jel giving it to Martinez)
    10. 9 - 10 (Unanimous)
    11. 10 - 9 (Philly being "the lone dissenter")
    12. 10 - 9 (see above)

    Yeah, can see why this one's a head scratcher! Especially with rounds 3, 7, 8 & 9 among others being arguable, are split dead even. In hindsight, a draw probably would've been the correct decision.

    I had it 115-113 for Williams, @PhillyPhan69, @Jel and @rorschach51 had it a 114-114 draw.
