How did you score these fights?

SS, do you have your scorecard for the Griffith losses, I'm sure I remember seeing them somewhere but can't find them.

 

I think your addition is off by a point. It should be 144-141.

Yeah that's most likely all there is to it. Cheers :good

 

Holmes-Spinks I
I can't find my card. I know I've scored it at least once.

Holmes-Spinks II 140-145
Holmes: 1,2,3,4,7
Spinks: 5,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

Hagler-Leonard
I'm not comfortable making a determination either way as I've scored it at least three times for Leonard- once very, very wide- but now I have it just as wide for Marvin. I like them both equally, and I'm reminded of what Richard Steele said on this very fight; that's exactly what happened to me too.

Whitaker-De La Hoya 114-113
Whitaker: 1,5,7,9*,10,11
De La Hoya: 2,3*,4,8,12
Draw: 6

 

:good

You can find most of my scorecards around those parts :good

 

Would I be off-base in thinking Spinks clearly outworked him?

The old guy wasn't putting up much of a pace, so I awarded the fitter, busier bloke throwing punches. I thought Spinks was the better man.

 

I can see the case for "hurting the opponent", but that's not the criterion I use. If you're hurting your man, I want to see it deter him. I'm not prepared to reward any fighter additional points for something unquantifiable; that seems completely redundant.

The brunt of it for me lies in Holmes' inability to carry a sustained offense after the seventh round. He gassed, and I saw Spinks take over.

 

I can actually respect that.

Some fighters handle punches differently. It's harder, in subtle occasions, to see whether a man is actually hurt.

Obviously, there are times when it is blatantly obvious a man is badly dazed, but I suppose the round is then usually won by the barrage of follow up offense, or by a big knockdown.

Interesting way to think about it.

I scored Holmes-Spinks I 9-6 for Spinks.

I scored Holmes-Spinks II 8-7 for Holmes.

I scored Hagler-Leonard 7-5 for Leonard.

I recently scored Whitaker vs. DLH 114-112, Oscar. I have scored it the other way, and have scored it a draw. That point coming off for the accidental cut is such a bs rule.
