Let me clear the air a bit about scoring fights.

Epic! That was also the argument for those who defended Pac/Bradley I decision. Who are basically the same posters that are defending this Mayweather decision.

 

Would you say his level of concern about the scorecards has been bigger or smaller than your concern about the Hopkins-Calzaghe scorecards for the last 6 years?

 

But of course Pacquiao-Marquez III preceded those fights and along with that particular bit of pap treated us to footstomping, "you have to take the belt from the champ," and "those were qualified trained judges whose wisdom we must defer to."

And if we're talking about Pacquiao-Bradley, I'm sure we'll see the same media scorecard tallied used to attack any possible non-Pacquiao scorecard once again brandished in this instance to quash those who think Mayweather didn't win the fight. You know, for consistency's sake.

 

I would say bigger as he is making thread after thread and I have just given facts on threads, with a ready made pwnage post that takes no effort

 

I disagree. I don't recall too many "sound off" arguments for Pac/Marquez as there was no argument about a supposed commentary bias that was causing vivid halucinations.

Pac/Bradley was argued as such quite a few times. Lampley and Steward's words possessed such power that they made us see things that weren't there in slow motion replays. We only see Pac's glove touch Bradley's head and body because they told us it did. Don't trust your eyes or your ears, trust the message board.

 

Nah it was the agenda-driven Mexican crowd which bamboozled those scoring it for Marquez, cheering for punches that never connected. That along with Marquez's merely living up to expectations simply caused everyone to not see the plain Pacquiao victory in front of their faces. The British feed was also similarly biased for Marquez; Amir Khan could fight Marquez but not Pacquiao, so it's only natural to see how colored their card and call were. Don't take my word for it, there are more hits for 'pacquiao marquez "sound off"' from this site than for 'pacquiao bradley "sound off"'

 

So funny seeing hard hard the #TMTDamageControlTeam has been working the past couple days.

We are up to what, 4 dozen or so threads now?

 

Agreed

 

Round 2 was as clear a Mayweather round as any that Maidana had spare for the big 5th.

3 and 4 were also Mayweather rounds. Maidana hardly ever landed a shot in those rounds.

Pressure is only positive if it is clean and effective. Getting outlanded with the only clean connects while applying pressure is a big negative.

 

People don't know that there is actual scoring criteria laid out to follow.

They score based on well, whatever they feel like.

Time and time this happens again in any major fight with enough opinions to read through.

Someone could win 120-108 and have a very tough battle.

Many folks don't seem to understand a fight is scored by individual 3 minute rounds; let alone the criteria for said scoring.

 

like I said, accurate punching does not dictate the rounds alone.

the fight was close.

 

I know you probably get this a lot but you are a ****ing imbecile. You can't score a round for **** much less a fight. You leave out so much it;s just funny.
