Rewatching the fight...It closer than i originally thought.

Yea I had it 6 to 3 Mayweather and scored the 6th 9-9.

 

Alot of people are debating the scoring of this fight. Here are some excerpts from a recent column from unbiased yahoo columnist Kevin Iole. These excerpts shed some light on fight scoring from various analyst:


First, there are, sadly, many, many racist people in this world. The 'N' word was used far more often in the responses I received than was the word knockout. This is disgusting. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of those don't have the guts to sign their names to their bigoted statements.

Second, too many fans score with their hearts and not with their heads. The majority of those who wrote seemed to think that Hatton was winning at the time of the stoppage. I had the exact same score in every round as judges Dave Moretti and Paul Smith, giving Hatton only the fifth round. Judge Burt Clements gave Hatton the third and the fifth. No one in the Hatton camp complained about the scoring. And most of the media, including numerous pro-Hatton reporters from the U.K., scored it either 7-2 or 8-1 in favor of Mayweather.

I wrote that Mayweather began to appear comfortable for the first time in the ninth round. But he was still controlling the fight. Hatton only landed 63 punches in 9½ rounds, an absurdly low number. He wouldn't defeat Mayweather once if they fought 100 times.

With great columnists like Dan Wetzel, Michael Silver, Adrian Wojnarowski, Michael Arkush, Jeff Passan and Tim Brown, among many others, Yahoo! Sports, in my opinion, is far and away the top destination on the ‘net.
That said, here are a few statistics courtesy of CompuBox from Saturday's bout to chew on: From the fourth round through the ninth, Hatton landed a total of one jab. He connected on just 17 percent of his total punches. He landed in single digits in nine of the 10 rounds. Down the stretch in Rounds 8-10, he was out-landed 56-12.
Bottom line: Mayweather received kudos because he performed like the No. 1 fighter in the world, which he is

 

In between rounds when they show the slo-mo highlights, they showed nothing effective that Hattton was doing. Only Floyds accuracy. I'll have to watch it again though.

 

At the time of the knock down I had it 6-2 PBF with one round shared, cannot remember which one, might've been the 1st.

 

I gave Hatton 2 rounds.

 

loolol... nice avatar and comment. Ironic

 

You only scored the first 6 rounds. Wheres 7 8 and 9....

 

I gave Hatton round 2 - though I think I'm in the minority here. I watched it twice, and thought he won that round. I also gave him round 5, I believe.

When I first watched it, I thought Ricky won 3 rounds, but after watching it again I could only give him 2.

Some rounds were kinda close, but PBF was landing such clean shots and never really getting hit by anything flush, so he clearly won those.

 

I watched the fight 4 times now. Ricky gets round 1 and round 5. How convinient you forgot to mentioned that Hatton pushed PBF into the ropes and tried rabbit punching twice in that sequence. Here it is once again:

Very clearly a faul. So basically what you're saying here is that the point deduction sped up Mayweather and slowed Ricky down?

 

So I guess two of the judges were biased and don't have a brain. I guess respected columnists Dan Rafael and Kevin Iole are don't have a brain either. Put me in that group too, because Ricky won two rounds maximum in my opinion.

 

Ricky won 1 maybe 2 rounds. Nothing more.


I had it 89-82
