Fights you scored differently than most people

Funfact, the official UPI scorecard had Ali up 6-4 in his 1st fight with Norton.

 

Hagler Lenoard Marvin won
Foreman beat Young,how does young hang out side the ropes and win?
Norton beat Holmes

 

Scored Morales/Barrera 1 closely to Morales. Yes I know Morales got the decision but some felt Barrera might have deserved the nod. Felt many scored the rounds based on the last 20 seconds rather than the whole rounds and felt Morales had just about done enough but razor thin

 

Leonard/Hearns 2

Admit I was a big Leonard fan and rooting for him but felt the draw was a fair decision

 

Foreman vs Schultz...i had it for Foreman by 2 points

 

To many to count.

 

I agree with most of this. I wasn't scoring Ward/Kov but I thought Ward took over and was expecting him to get decision. GGG/Canelo I need to rewatch and score but I didn't see the outrage in the draw, Canelo seemed to be landing and throwing much harder and meaningful punches all fight, Golovkin was missing a lot. Close, could see it go the either way. Camelot also hurt Golovkin with a monster shot somewhere in the last few rounds which I saw as pretty meaningful, it's was a temple shot that made GGG stumble, he recovered super fast but he was still hurt.

I also had Horn beating PAC, the fight was so ugly that I was kinda loosing interest and looking away, but, PAC looked SHOT and horn was pushing him back and banging him around for most of the fight. PAC had moments and almost stopped him, but the next round Horn came out and continued to outwork him. I really question the espn punch stats for that fight. I also had Jacobs beating GGG but that might have been a case of him exceeding expectations. He seemed to control the whole
Later half the fight to me. I'd have to rewatch some of these and might change my mind. I had mayweather only beating PAC by two rounds. Canelo won more rounds then i remembered vs mayweather also. Cotto also won quite a few rounds vs Mayweather though Mayweather pulled away late, especially the 12th.

A few more I just remembered
- Duran vs Leonard 1 is closer than people realize.
-Leonard vs Hearns is sometimes talked about as if Hearns was robbed. I don't see a problem with the draw really. The last round could easily be a 10-8 for Leonard. It also seemed like one of his knockdowns was more of a push down.

 

I thought Jeff Horn deserved the decision over Pacquiao. I watched the British call of the fight, not the ESPN/Teddy Atlas version. The Brits seemed to favor Horn, too.

I thought Bowe deserved the decision in his rematch with Holyfield. Evander performed better in the rematch. But just because Evander performed better didn't mean he won. Bowe "landed" 100 more punches than Holyfield did (according to final punch totals). I never saw a heavyweight champ outland a challenger by 100 punches and lose his title, except for that one night. Bowe should've won that fight and had a longer reign.

I also didn't have a problem with Jose Luis Ramirez retaining his title against Pernell Whitaker in their first fight. I know the ABC crew went ballistic. And everyone cried robbery. I went back the next day and watched it again with no sound. I could see how Ramirez got the benefit of the doubt in some rounds. Close fight that went in favor of the champ. Whitaker probably edged him. Not the highway robbery it's viewed as today.

I had Carl Williams outpointing Larry Holmes. That might be one of the worst decisions I ever saw ... with two judges giving Holmes 11 of the 15 rounds. Either that or Erislandy Lara losing to Paul Williams. I thought Lara was winning so easily and so dominantly, it looked to me like the ref was thinking about stopping it a couple of times because Williams was in such bad shape.

Finally, and this is an obscure one, but I thought Javier Castillejo outpointed Fernando Vargas in their match. I was sitting ringside and scored it at the time. I had Castillejo winning like 5-4-1. Something razor close. Vargas scored a knockdown, so I thought he may squeeze out a draw. Then they announced Vargas as the winner by a mile. I was pretty surprised. Went home and watched the HBO broadcast. They had him winning by a mile.

I'd heard most people in the arena the night Holmes upset Mercer had scored the fight in favor of Mercer, and it was held up as an example of a fight where people on TV had a different perception of how effective the blows were compared to the people in the arena. I got the same feeling from Vargas-Castillejo. In fact, a large section of the crowd didn't like the decision, and when the Vargas people headed back to their dressing room, they got heckled so bad some of Vargas' guys ran into the stands to confront the hecklers and the crowd started pummeling Vargas' guys. They had to run back to their dressing room to avoid getting beaten down. But HBO passed it off as an easy win. Didn't seem like it in the arena that night, though.

 

Way too wide.

 

interesting on the vargas fight I hardly remember it

 

Actually think I scored it 8-3-1 or 7-4-1.

I'm sure a gave a 10/10 round. Also thinking I may have gave Maidana 4 rounds. Floyd clearly won the fight for me though. A lot more accurate work. Maidana worked hard but was untidy and reckless at times.

 

Norton v Holmes- 9-6 in favor of Norton.
Holmes v Spinks II- Michael ran away with it.
Leonard v Duran I- Wide for Duran.
Hagler v Duran- Wide for Hagler.
Barkley v Duran- Close win for The Blade.
Whitaker v De La Hoya- Close win for Whitaker.
Whitaker v Rivera I & II- I had Rivera winning both times.
Whitaker v Trinidad- Probably my most controversial card. Trinidad missed most of his punches.
De La Hoya v Mosley I & II- I've scored the first for Mosley, but I now think a draw is more appropriate. Came to the same result for the rematch, though I had DLH winning before reviewing recently.
Mosley v Wright II- Mosley on work-rate.
Mayweather v Cotto- Mayweather by 1-point margin.
Mayweather v Pacquiao- Mayweather by 1-point margin.
Mayweather v Castillo I & II- I had Castillo winning the first fight, but have since settled on a draw. My memory of the second is murkier, but I remember giving it to Castillo upon initial viewing.

 

Wow

 

This has to be the first place entry.

 

Some interesting scores.
