How did u score the 3rd Rd

It's always 10-8 unless he's putting on an absolute clinic after getting knocked down

 

9-9. Cotto boxed well before the knockdown and comeback well afterwards. It's not 9-8 to Pacquiao because you don't lose 2 points for a knockdown, it's always one. The reason it's scored 10-8 is -1 point for losing the round + -1 for the KD. If it was 2 points for KD then it would go to 10-6 after another knockdown not 10-7.

 

9-9

 

Exactly. It was clearly a 10-8 round under standard scoring rules.

 

I think Lampley scored it 9-9.

 

Why? So five seconds guarentee's him a 10-8 round? Cotto clearly won the rest of it, therefore it's clearly a 9-9 round.

 

Wasn't it a 10 point must system?

Therefore a 9-9 round without point deductions wouldn't exist?

 

It's a definite 10-8 round. It just is. One guy might be a bit ahead in the round but if he is ruled to be knocked down then tough ****. It's not like you can have someone narrowly ahead then they get knocked down and it's all of a sudden an unusual score. That isn't how it works. The knockdown negates their work unless they've put their man down too.

 

Hand touching canvas is a knockdown
10-8 round

 

They got it from that idiot Lampley. He said this during the telecast and I thought to myself "WTF, don't these jerks know **** about boxing scoring?" :rofl

I think what they mean to say is that it should be a 10-9 round!

 

Yeah, i had it 9-9. I thought Cott contolled himself and the fight up until the 2nd KD. All Pac from that point on.

 

Sorry guys but 9-9 is bull****. If a fighter scores a kd but loses the rest of the round he wins the round but by 10-9 instead of 10-8. That's why 2 of the official judges actually did score it 10-9.

The reasoning behind this is probably that outboxing a guy doesn't weigh as heavy as putting a guy on his ass.

 

Exactly. That idiot Lampley doesn't know jack **** about scoring fights, and now everybody's repeating his ignorance of the rules!!!atsch
