This is my first time watching the fight. I just got finished with the 2nd round and believed Roy won it...All 3 judges had RJJ losing round 2. How did yall feel bout round 2?
Dead even, the commentators said it was a very close round over here, and gave it to Jones, its like no one knows how to score a 10/10 round anymore.
that was a 10/10 but can see points for it going either way based on RJJ's acuracy and timeing and JC's volume and agression
I gave Roy the second. To me, the HBO judges, (especially) as well as Setanta do not score even rounds any more. They are also reluctant to score 10-8 rounds without a KD. A classic example is Hatton vs Mayweather. I don't recall who was given the first round, but to me it was dead even. Then, in the 8th, Floyd was given it 10-9 when he landed every punch he threw (pretty much) - surely that was 10-8?
I had it even. At the time however, I gave it to Roy because I was excited that he may have a great fight in front of him. A great moment in time. By round 3 it was clear what was happening though.
I gave 2 rounds to Roy (honestly, prob as a biased fan) as there were 2 more that I had close to even if not for Roy cuz I felt like he landed cleaner shots as opposed to Joe's volume. As BEST for Roy I also had him winning 4 of the first 6. But looking at the whole fight, it's hard not to say that Joe was in control. UNLIKE the first Tarver fight where I felt that Roy was in control 90% of the time even though it was close and some even gave it to Antonio. I'm in the minority that though RJJ won that fight hands down.
