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

yo, what's good with the ava?

 

Ricky won the 2nd & the 5th, I could see him maybe winning the 3rd, maybe.

 

What the **** was he supposed to do with his elbows. Hatton was humping him like a dog in heat.

Thanks also for stating the obvious, Captain Truism!

 

On the official scorecards the fight was a blowout before the stoppage. I thought it was closer than that, but PBF was still leading.

 

What do you mean close? This is boxing, not a ****ing Dodge Ram commercial! :-(

 

The original poster is pointing out that it was very close until the point deduction when Hatton seemed to lose his cool, then a couple rounds later he seemed to tire and as you'd expect PBF more than took advantage of it.

 

Well that's what a "ten point must system" scoring is.

The results will not always show how closely contested a fight is . . . because every round is being scored independently.

No matter how many times people watched that fight . . . it's clear that Hatton won the max of only two rounds . . . so in short . . . that fight was not a close fight. It's a hotly contested full of action exciting fight but NOT CLOSE.

See the difference? :think :yep

 

exactly....thats why i say it wasnt close...

 

post score cards please

 

My scorecard?

It's not that hard . . . it's 8 rounds for PBF; one round to Hatton (5th round) plus the 1 point deduction . . . I have it as 89 - 81.

 

88-82, 89-81 x 2 for Mayweather
