Many people has been talking about KO this saturday night in Las Vegas, but that's not my case. I think this one will go to the scorecards and this are the judges (over the past 4-5 years) that will decide it all if the fight is close: A) Dave Moretti: His most recent notable fight was Hopkins vs. Jones 2(118-109 for B-HOP) Let's see his resume: -2009: Pacquiao-Cotto(Pacquiao ahead 108-100) PBF vs. JMM(119-108 for PBF) Prescott vs. M.

Now let's see the 2nd judge. Robert Hoyle: His most recent notable fight was Guzman-Funeka 2(116-111 for Guzman, the widest margin) -2009: Foreman vs. Santos(117-109 for Foreman) Katsidis vs. Escobedo(118-110 for Katsidis, the widest margin) -2008: Spinks vs. V. Phillips(115-113 for Spinks, only judge in Spinks favor) For Hoyle, this is his 1st fight scoring a bout for both PBF and SSM. And to finish, the 3rd one is: -Adalaide Byrd, her most recent notable fight was last saturday: Angulo vs. Julio and she had Angulo ahead 96-94(the closest card) -2009: Pacquiao vs. Cotto(109-99 for Pacquiao trhu 10 rds.)

After summarizing the past 4-5 years of the judges, let's suppose the fight is too close to call. What will the judges verdict will be?
actually "many" people have been talking about a decision. Who in the right mind is talking about a ko in a fight where both fighters has never been koed
Shane Mosley has promised a KO since he signed the fight, even Chris Williams wrote he sees Floyd getting a beating from Sugar Shane.
yeah, she has a lot of ****ed up cards and she gets a ton of fights. The Hopkins Calzaghe fight was close but no way in hell Hopkins won that. So, she will score inactive fighters and would most likely favor Floyd in a close fight.
Damn, I just posted the same thing, I didn't look at the bottom of the page before I posted. So I agree. Keith
yeah, he did. But he didn't do **** in the rounds he clearly lost. That was an easy fight to score, when Bernard worked he won the round, when he didn't Calzaghe did.
