What exactly was he watching? hatton jumping forward and getting pot shotted at will and countered over and over again is NOT effective aggressivness, lederman.It was NOT close and it wasnt until mayweather made it obvious that he's in control that he finally got the idea.What did hatton land in those first five rounds that prompted lederman to score the fight in hattons favor? i have lose any and all respect that i might have had for HBO scoring after this type of performance from lederman.
His scorecards are very questionable - I don't pay any attention to him. And you know who else gets on my nerves is Emanuel Steward. Everything goes exactly as he expected - only he says it after the fight has unfolded.
Lederman has lost alot of my respect. This has been going on for a little while with him. He gave the 12th round to Cotto, he scored the Guzman fight a lot close than it should have been. He scored this fight like an amateur. I had a bunch of people over my house who aren't hardcore boxing fans like me. They scored the fight similar to Lederman. I tried to tell them that Mayweather was landing all the clean shots and Hatton was just coming foward without landing anything. Personally, I only gave Hatton 1 round, and I scored 2 rounds 10-8(not including the 10th).
He seemed to be watching the same fight that I saw. Floyd was losing up until he turned the fight around down the stretch.
I swear, some of you people have no idea how to score a fight. Hatton landed 17% of his punces, many of the rounds he landed in the single digits. You can't win rounds by just coming foward and missing, especially when the other guy is landing clean punches. This is the same **** that happened in the DLH fight. People were trying to give Oscar rounds for being aggressive even though Floyd was landing the cleaner punches.
Just like Dela Hoya won his fight against Mayweather, yeah? Not only do you PICK with your heart, but you JUDGE with your heart, also. Hopefully for you, your not a betting man.
Yea, it's amazing what you can see, when you aren't being biased. I am a Hatton fan, but have never hated Floyd, and even put money on Floyd in this fight... so... what's the problem? Anyone who wasn't biased out of their gord could see that Hatton was winning at the halfway point. To Mayweather's credit, he made the adjustments... pick his spots down the stretch, turned the fight in his favor and got the stoppage. That isn't good enough for you? Do you have to pretend that there was utter dominance throughout the entire fight that simply wasn't there?
