Fight of the Week #28: A Modern Day Mess.

Not really. It was one of the easiest fights to score ever. You land twice as many punches, you win. One guy beat the other like a drum, hitting him three punches for every one in some rounds. But you get a bigger stronger guy standing opposite the guy who is landing 90 percent of his punches, and you give the littler guy a cut, and people see what they want to see. The chicks that scored this fight for Rungvisai also scored Pacquiao-Horn for Horn. I think both fights should have been about 8-4 to the loser.

As for Kovalev vs Ward I, I think I had Kovalev winning by a point or two. Not a bad robbery as robberies go, but you have to give Ward every close round to get that result. They landed about the same so I can see a Kovalev victory or a Draw as being fair. When about ten punches separate two fighters then it's a draw, no big deal. But when 157 punches separate fighters you have one of the biggest robberies in history.

 

Saw SSR v Roman Gonzalez the first time around and really, really enjoyed it. How can one not? Anyways, here we go.

Round 1: 10-8 SSR (scores a knockdown)
Round 2: 10-9 SSR
Round 3: 10-10 Even
Round 4: 10-9 Gonzalez
Round 5: 10-9 SSR
Round 6: 10-8 Gonzalez (SSR loses a point for headwork)
Round 7: 10-9 SSR
Round 8: 10-9 Gonzalez
Round 9: 10-9 SSR
Round 10: 10-10 Even
Round 11: 10-9 SSR
Round 12: 10-9 Gonzalez

Total: 115-113 SSR

Pure heart on Gonzalez' part with that much blood loss to win the final round. Fantastic fight. Most of the time I try to zone out on the announcing team and not look at Harold's scorecard. But I couldn't help hearing in the 5th round - which seems to have controversy amongst us - everyone giving it to Gonzalez. I said to myself halfway through the round "OK, Gonzalez is taking the round off trying to grab a second wind in the 6th." I felt the round was 3/4 over before Gonzalez did anything and I can't forget what SSR did the first 3/4 of the round. Anyways, great fight and I'll add it to the scorecard thread.

unless my math is wrong you forgot to deduct a point in round 6? Can you confirm? If so your card is 114-112

 

The math man strikes again.

 

I just want to make sure lol. He may have scored it 10-10 (I doubt it) and went 10-9 with the deduction

Edit: feel free to point out a math error or miscalculation. The more cards the more complicated and the more prone I become to making an error.
