Ruiz vs. Ortiz , How did you score the fight?

Wilder will knock the fat off his back
BOMB SQUAD

 

113-112 Ruiz.

 

I scored it not worth a dime on ppv and didn't purchase it. PPV needs to die asap.

 

113-112 for Ruiz seemed about right. No real grounds to complain about the judging.

 

It was interesting live because of the tension, but now that you know how it ended I'm not sure I'd sit through it.

 

113-112 Ortiz

 

Ruiz by a round. Ortiz basically won every round outboxing Ruiz barring the two he was knocked down in and one of the later rounds (can't remember which) and a couple of swing rounds.

 

113-112 Ruiz. 7-5 in rounds to Ortiz but 3 knockdowns gives Ruiz the win. However the second knockdown of the 3 could of been ruled a slip. If it had been I have the fight a draw

 

I scored it a bit of a disappointment.
Was hoping for more action and a knockout finish.

But ther ight man won.
The 3 knockdowns made the difference.

 

There’s no obligation to score that round a 10-7. It’s not actually a rule and I don’t think it should have been a 10-7.

 

I don't remember a double knockdown round ever being scored 10-8, although it's within the rules to do so.

 

The second kd was basically a push and then Ortiz landed some big shots. 10-8 for me and I had it a draw.

It has happened before or something similar, but I can’t remember the fights.

 

Yes that’s fine. If you were a judge and didn’t feel that round warranted a 10-7 score it’s your right to not score that - but it is usually the default option. Just like when Hearns fought Leonard a second time in the final round one of the 3 judges decided to score the round a 10-8 for Leonard despite no knockdowns of Tommy. That judges perception of the round changed that fight to a draw from a Hearns win. It’s judges discretion. But 90 percent of the time rule of thumb is 2 knockdowns is gonna merit a 10-7 round
