How did u score the 3rd Rd

I think people rode a lot of their opinions on how the round must be scored according to Lampley's incorrect statement. Two judges scored it 10-8, and the other scored it 10-9(or was it the other way around?). By the 10 point must system, a knockdown is an automatic 10-8, however, if the other fighter manages to dominate the rest of the round, it becomes a 10-9.

 

Thats why they are called judges. Their scores are based on their philosophy of work. ethier boxer could won the round, but one must be up against the other due to legit KD.

 

i scored the 3rd round 10-9 for pac and the 4th 10-8

 

I scored it 10-8 because I thought Pacquiao won the round. If you think Cotto won the round your score is 10-9 to Pacquiao.

Unbelievable how many people here do not understand the fundamentals of scoring. I'm sure they still criticise judging decisions regardless though!

Anyone who has posted '9-9' in this thread needs to learn how to score a fight before they ever comment on another judging decision.

 

I'm in the UK so don't see HBO, but why is this allowed to go on? It wouldn't happen in any other sport? If you had a football game where, in the first half, one team had scored a touchdown against two fieldgoals, but the commentator analysed it as if the second team was winning because he'd decided that field goals should be worth four points, he'd be out of a job, right?

 

I re-watched the round after Lampley said it was interesting how it would be scored. If there was no KD, Cotto would have won it but he didn't completely dominate it like most of you are trying to make it seem. It was still a competitive round. 10-8

 

10-9

 

10 point must system. Listen to Harold Letterman when he goes over the rules
