Judge who scored for Shumenov

Scoring a boxing fight is subjective. Bradley Pacquiao 1 was close, Bradley Pacquiao 2 was close for the first 4 rounds, until Bradley changed his strategy and Pacquiao pulled away. In Bradley Pacquiao 1, the HBO team acted like Pacquiao was cruising to a wide decision win, but after watching it again with the sound off, I concluded that it was a close fight.

Floyd Canelo was close. Even Floyd commented after the fight that it was a "thinking man's fight" suggesting it was more strategic than usual. In Floyd Canelo there were no knockdowns, and there was only 1 round where Floyd dominated, the other 11 rounds was a lot of shadow boxing and close rounds with feints and occasional punches.

 

118-109 Hopkins

 

As a whole, Hopkins clearly was the better fighter. The first three rounds I think were pretty uneventful and Shumenov appeared to be pressing the action. I could maybe see how he was perhaps given those early rounds and maybe another round. But that was it in my opinion. Master class performance by B-Hop...even against a carefully picked opponent. The guy is an alien.

 

Calzaghe manned Hopkins

 

I agree

I had Shumenov by 1 point, with 2 of the first four rounds 10-10 ... but most of the first 8 rounds were super close, where i could see 10-9 either way or 10-10, so I didnt have a problem with either guy winning.

 

That is the closest anyone coulda had it, I gave the first 2 and 2 rounds in the middle to Shumenov but 1 of them coulda gone either way, I dont see that he won 5, Hopkins did take one complete round off in the middle but 2 is the most I could give Shumenov apart from the first 2

**** off *****

 

Im serious, Undertaker just lost his 21 year streak at Wrestlemania now is a good time to follow WWE

 

I assume your real name is Gustavo Padilla then. :-(

 

You should never score a fight.

 

Shumenov won the first round, second too if you're being generous

after that he got schooled badly

anyone who gave Shumenov more than 3 rounds should change sports, because they clearly DKSAB

 

I was only half paying attention to the fight, and I missed the first round. My impression of it was Hopkins was winning, but not as decisively as the commentators stated. I thought Shumenov won the tenth (one of the few rounds I scored), though the commentators were lapping it up for Bhop in that round. Giving shumen 7 rounds seems bit rich though.

Again, I only had one eye on the fight.

 

I knew all you bitches would moan if someone posted a contrary opinion.

Keep lapping up what the announcers are dealing, sheeple.

 

The guy like so many others must have had his mind washed up in the sense that Hopkins doesn't fight effectively and so he went to score rounds basically for what Shumenov did the better.

 

I always watch fights without the ussually biased commentary of HBO/Showtime my hitting mute, and still didn't give Shumenov more than 2 rounds, though he did have his moments in others (like round 9) he still lost them clearly, and I was rooting for him to put grandpa Popkins into a retirement home
