I catch Lederman score for house fighters all the time. Also he is bias for he likes fighters that applies pressure despite if they are sucessful or not.
I usually feel like Lederman just looks at the compubox numbers and decides whoever threw more punches won the round. Though to be fair we don't have the same sample size on broadcasts for Giampa we do with Harold.
lederman almost always goes with the HBO fighter or if it's 2 guys that HBO are equally backing he goes with the aggressor even if he got pasted all with counters and outlanded
Lets just put this way, If ledderman was scoring the Salid-Lopez II fight, his card would be similiar to that of the judges who had JuanMa winning. Giampa takes this, **** that idiot Ledderman. JIIIIIMM!!
:deal I can't remark as to who had the better eye for scoring when they were pro judges themselves, not having their records on hand (and not having the time or inclination to go digging them up just now ) - but it's for DAMN sure that as semi-retired "unofficial scorers" for the major competing TV networks, Giampa 120-108 Lederman. I seem to recall Giampa not turning in too many terrible cards, and having lots of championship bout experience. Lederman's reputation I'm hazier on, since he retired from active judging a long time before Giampa.
Face for radio, though. Besides, I thought swearing on TV made you popular and endearing in the boxing community? :deal (Arreola, David Diaz..)
