So basically yout saying that no competent judge would score a fight the same way twice? That only proves that you dont know how to score a fight. You see what you want to see. If you think Williams won, fine, but what rounds do you think he won? You obviously understand little about properly scoring a fight saying Lara didnt show good ring generalship and your lack of understanding effective and ineffective aggression.
why do rounds need to be crystal clear in order for a fighter to win them? i thought lara won a clear decision, but their were a few rounds i thought williams won, and a few close rounds as well. the widest card i saw was ledermans which was 9-3, for you to jump all over guy saying it wasnt as wide as 10-2 is a little ridiculous. fights like these are always hard to judge, looking at the fight as a whole lara dominated, but round by round it was a much closer fight, yes lara landed the bigger stronger shots consistantly, but williams landed as many punches, even though not as damaging, and was always moving forward and never stopped throwing. again lara should have gotten the nod, there is no question and no excuse for williams getting the win, but this wasnt a shut out and there were several tough rounds to judge
116-112 Lara if your being generous to Williams is absolutely the closest this fight scored be scored. Any closer is just bad, crooked scoring. I cant find 5 rounds or more to give to Williams. He wasnt deflecting anything coming at him and was frozen from left hands from Lara in several rounds.
I'll tell you exactly why, although you should have picked it up from context. Rep's assertion was that Lara could not possibly have won 10-2. For that to be the case there needs to be a minimum of 3 rounds that he could not possibly have won (that is, they were crystal clear for Williams).
10 rounds to 2 is how I scored it. Rounds 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 to Lara based on clean punching, landing the more meaningful punches, showing better defense, and Paul's ineffective aggression. Rounds 4 and 5 went to Williams for me, when he outworked Lara, who was looking tired and didn't land too many quality punches. 10-2 both times for me. Lara had a nice showing and really put his name on the map.
atsch First let me say that I was pulling for Paul to bounce back from his KO loss to Martinez...With that being said, there is no possible way that one could score that fight considering how he was countered for most of the fight...Paul may have been the busier fighter, but that means jack **** when you're not effective with your punches...Lara landed the most meaningful shot during the fight. Lara won that fight hands down.
The fight was much closer than people are making it seem. People get swept up in what the media or HBO says.
Not really IMO...While Williams kept the pressure up with his punches and coming foward...The fight was not close at all.
pw threw and landed a lot more punches, and he def continued to come forward the entire fight. Lara however landed w/ much more power. the irony in rjj commenting pw is getting brain damage and should walk away was hilarious.
Listen assholes, I do beleive Lara had the better night but he let the fight slip away. He just back up or ran all night. I didn't see him back Williams up once. He didn't counter punch and he didnt show that he was in control. I told you'll I agree but he didn't conduct his self like he won the fight. One hard left hand and that was it, then he went to holding. Paul Williams look terrible and look like an ametur.
