    I never said that it was going to change my score? I simply stated i wanted to see how they had it scored.

    If nobody cared how they scored fights, why would they have that feature? :huh It is there for a reason, so viewers can see how others see the fight.

    It goes to show, as my scorecard was completely different to the judges scorecards.

    More dissapointed in jim Gray for not letting Maidana eat his chico stick and for yelling at Broner.

    Their scoring in the Maidana - broner fight was very biased towards Broner as well. Two greats of the ring, Manny and Floyd, floyd doesn't need to do much to win a fight on points yet Manny needs to pull out all the stops to earn his points victories.

    I don't think they were hiding anything. Go to ShoStats on Twitter and their scores were updated almost every round. Their scoring was in line with most of the press, which was between around 7-5 or 8-4 Mayweather.

    On the majority of tv cards the tv announcers are biased towards the channels fighters and it spoils the sport

    I was disappointed, but in a different way. I think they favored Maidana in the earlier commentary, but still gave rounds to Floyd. It seemed like they gave an illusion of impartiality and reason-ability but giving Maidana credit, but still favored the house fighter in the scoring.

    If you are new to boxing, Showtime has had it's ugly past as well. If anyone watched Tszyu vs Judah, the showtime announcers and post-fighter interviewed showed they favored the bigger named fighter, Judah, at the time and suggested that the stoppage was bogus.

    Over recent years I think Showtime hasn't been nearly as biased because they didn't have too many money making fighters, so they concentrated on a better product. Now they got the big name fighters again they are turning into **** again.

    Showtime just stopped the Kovalev Vs. Stevenson fight. Stevenson was supposed to have fought Kovalev, but he did not want to fight Kovalev, so he went to Showtime, now he will fight Hopkins, what a joke................

    He had to yell at Broner for bringing race into it. That kind of crap shouldn't be allowed on live television.

    Funny enough , i watched two streams at the same time one stream was from box nation and the commentary was ok but the picture kept gliching , so i found another in spanish and the picture good ,

    So i turned down the spanish sound turned up the english sound but watched the spanish version of the fight ,

    The english would be down playing Maidiana , and screeching about Floyd . but 10 seconds later it was like instant replay on the one that gliched . and i can tell you now without oall the bias commentary , that fight was closer than most think . personaly i had it a draw ,

    Its pro boxing , going forward making the fight has to count for something , sitting on the ropes , using your elbows and rubbing the lace against the opponents face , should deserve a point or two took away .

    Turn the sound down and watch how much , illigal **** Floyd gets away with .

    The Showtime crew are more biased than the HBO crew.They sold their souls long ago to the company line.Their jobs depend on Floyd winning and Sho has placed their future in boxing with that ridiculous contract they gave Floyd.
    Don't be surprised when Espinoza gets the axe when this experiment went wrong gets audited by the bosses at CBS and they find out how much money they have lost.:deal

    The fight was scored accurate, except for one judge at ring side. Who had it 111-115. Chino fought a good fight, but he did not beat Floyd. If he could of stepped it up a level, he probably could have, but he didn't. Of course if your a Chino fan your going to be some what bias to the truth. When looking at this fight I couldn't help to think about Leonard vs Duran 1. The only difference was Duran aggression was more effective, because he was landing a great deal of clean punches, which staggered Leonard at least twice through out there fight. Chino couldn't or didn't do that to Floyd, which would of made a big difference in the scoring.

    Remember the Broner-Chino fight where they showed their even scorecards right before the second KD. The fix was in. Same crap.
