Fight of the week nominations part 2

I definitely get where you're coming from but I think I disagree. I see the '"fighter of the week" approach morphing into one of the typical threads where guys just regurgitate the same "everybody knows" conventional wisdom and cliches that they've been reading and repeating for decades. Maybe if people would be expected to produce some film to back up their arguments? I don't know. If people aren't interested enough to watch even a few rounds of boxing, then I think we can probably continue to do without them in this thread. But maybe I'm being too pessimistic?

I definitely agree that the thread doesn't need to just be about round-by-round scoring, but I would like to continue to focus it on the actual film footage though.

 

@PhillyPhan69
Here's one, how did you score Byrd vs Golata? I actually agreed with the judges as a draw

1. Golatta 10-9 (Golatta 10-9)
2. Even 19-19 (Byrd 10-9)
3. Byrd 29-28 (Byrd 10-9)
4. Even 38-38 (Golatta 10-9)
5. Golata 48-47 (Golatta 10-9)
6. Golota 58-56 (Golatta 10-9)
7. Golotta 67-66 (Byrd 10-9)
8. Even 76-76 (Byrd 10-9)
9. Even 86-86 (Even 10-10)
10. Golotta 96-95 (Golatta 10-9)
11. Golotta 106-105 (Even 10-10)
12. Even 115-115 (Byrd 10-9)

 

So, which fight are we going with to kick this back off again @mrkoolkevin and @PhillyPhan69?

 

I have a talent for misspellings. Lol

It's actually very entertaining, Made for a very good fight, Rummy described it as very difficult to score. I'd throw it in the pile to be honest.

 

My apologies if its already been mentioned but I was watching Bowe/Holyfield 2 last nite. I watched up to fan man. I think Holyfield was winning but damn I'm not sure because Bowe was landing that jab. George Foreman pushing his agenda that nite only confused everyone. I felt bad for Jim Lampley.

 

Good pick.
