When someone get knocked down it has to be an 8 round, if that guy still wins the round it can be 9-8 but you almost never see that.
Didn't know that i always thought it could be scored 10-9. You almost never do see it but yesterday was a great example of scoring it as such imo.
I score the first 6. 3-3 And 3-1 for Wlad till the 11 giving AJ only round 9. So 6-4 at the time of stoppage. I thought neither do much for the first 4. If I could I would have scored 10-10 for all those 4.
I watched it again, and in my opinion it's a pretty clear 10-8 for Joshua. Wladimir's shots and what was happening in the last minute and a half of the round wasn't as good as I thought it was during live viewing.
Didn't Joshua win the tenth? I was saying during the whole round that Wladimir F***ed up and it was over for him. That after I was like a cheerleader just 10-15 minutes prior. EDIT: I know the post above says "I watched it again" but I was literally only referring to watching round 5 a second time. I will def sit down and watch the whole thing again soon.
That's how I felt for most of Wladimir vs. Fury as far as wanting to write a boat load of 10-10's on the scorecard... But in this fight, Joshua took the first three rounds. Fourth is debatable. Wladimir did nothing to open the fight. Looked like ancient Shane Mosley flicking out the jab, same as he did against Jennings and Fury. Joshua landed a couple clean shots in each, compared to Wladimir who didn't.
Not going to argue with that, which probably make that an even fight going into the 11. Though I must say Wlad win his rounds clearer. My heart goes out to him. So close..
5-5 after 10. Joshua got spanked by his corner and finally wake up at the 11. The belt was slipping away from his waist.
You're right, Wlad came strong in the end, that round could potentially been scored 9-8, but if someone hits the floor it's automatically an 8 to the guy that hit the floor, even if he wins the round.
