    A little comic relief showcasing traits (Snipes' right-hand power and Berbick's craziness) that came up in recent threads. Berbick is goofing around with his hands down, taunting Snipes. Gets his guard up but is *just* a little too slow to catch Snipes' punch.

    Good stuff. I also like how winded Snipes looks in the corner. Not sure he is but he takes a couple deep breaths there.

    Berbick and Snipes were not exactly ATGs.

    Berbick was always a half bubble off plumb.

    I remember when I saw this fight I thought, that despite the knockdowns, Berbick came back to win. But Snipes got the decision.

    Snipes had a good right hand. Berbick was stupid to drop his hands like that.

    Renaldo could have been a champion in the right circumstances. He definitley had a chance to beat Weaver, but it wasn't to be after he lost to Page.

    That was a hard fought battle and one that Snipes deserved credit for.

    Vince, I scored this fight recently and this is what I wrote.

    I saw it when it happened and although I didn't score it, I felt Berbick had done enough to win. I was in the total minority with some people at the time that also watched it, but like then, I seemed to be more impressed with the short jolting punches Berbick would throw while infighting. I read on a message board someone commenting on this fight that they too had Berbick winning so I thought I would check it out again. The fight tends to get sloppy as they tire and there are some subjective rounds that could go either way such as rounds 5, 9 and 10, so I really don't have a problem with the decision or if anyone else scores in Snipes favor. The scoring is on a rounds basis, no extra point for the knockdown unless the fight is scored a draw such as Mercante's card and then they go to supplemental scoring, in which an additional point for the knockdown can be employed.

    Berbick - Snipes

    Round 1: Snipes (scored a knockdown)
    Round 2: Berbick
    Round 3: Snipes
    Round 4: Berbick
    Round 5: Even
    Round 6: Berbick
    Round 7: Berbick
    Round 8: Snipes
    Round 9: Even
    Round 10: Berbick

    5-3-2 Berbick

    No they were not, but they would both have hammered Joshua and Haye
