In a close decision, u have to give it to the champ.

Revolutionary idea right here.

 

The idea that a chalenger has to "take" the championship is a myth from the No Decision or News Paper decision days. Where if the champion made it to the final bell he would remain champion.

 

I think in the rules you're supposed to give it to whichever boxer won the fight. Not sure about that though, just what I thought.

 

hahahahahaha

thats a BS unwritten rule



COME ON SON

*ed lover voice*

 

no

 

We can see by your post count you are new. You don't need to jump up and down waving a sign that says I'm a newb.:happy

 

It wasn't close, Giving Pac more than 4 rounds is generous, IMO he got his ass kicked and he, Roach and Arum all know it.

 

you score it round by round. apart from number of landed punches (strong or not, but excluding slap and backhand) on SCORING AREA, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense are also considered by judges in professional fights.

anyone who scored the fight at least 8 - 4 either for pac or jmm should consider watching it again under judges perspective.

round 9 was difficult to score.

 

Rd 1 - Pac left to the nose was diff
Rd 2- JMM
Rd 3- Pac - stellar right hooks
Rd 4 - Pac
Rd 5 - JMM
Rd 6 - Pac - more crisp rights
Rd 7 - Pac
Thru 7 JMM only landed 71 to Pacs 94
his highest of the 3 fights and JMM's lowest.
Rd8 JMM
Rd 9 -Pac
Rd 10 - Pac - JMM lowest output.
rd 11- JMM
rd 12 - Pac -JMM stumbling notthrowing, Pac landed best left hand.

Pac was stronger, sturdier, faster and JMM got caught w/ 2 many short right hooks.
Pac won easily by 2-5 rounds no less, no more.
JMM needed to step it up 9-12 but was getting countered himself.

Pac threw more and landed more power shots at and at a higher percentage for the first time in the trilogy.

 

Judges are not told to give close rounds to the champion.

The benefit of the doubt that the champ gets is keeping his belt in a draw.
