    Sometimes on Lederman's round by round scoring I literally look around at the people with me, and ask out loud, "what ****in' fight is he watching?"

    There's no agenda, ****. Taking the minority position in this debate is for the purposes of stimulating conversation. Don't tell me ****. I'm not interested in changing minds or leading the discussion. Balance is the objective. You've exposed your lack of intelligence and understanding, again. I've looked at your posts, idiot. You're a stupid mother****er. No bull****. I'll take advice from those who are worthy of sharing advice, not morons like you, suckscoxx.

    ^ Well put, that's what we're talking about here. Literally, Lederman comes up with results that are so surreal, so bizarre, I have literally out loud said that exact thing to myself on many occasion.

    I'm usually in agreement with him, though he overweights aggression

    Horrific!

    In the first Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao fight, Lederman scored it 7 rounds to 5 for Manny Pacquiao!:patsch :-(

    If you take Pacquiao's 3 knockdowns away in that first round, Lederman still has Pacquiao winning!:lol: :nut

    Horrific!

    I tell you what I trust his old school style of scoring a lot more than I do these new age ****s who want to turn boxing into fencing instead of a fight which is what it should be. I usualy agree with Harolds scoring 98% of the time

    notable differences

    Hatton vs PBF
    Calzaghe Hopkins
    Quartey vs DLH

    I never forget he had John John Molina winning his fight against DLH which I also thought he won its never mentioned.

    He also had DLH vs Trinidad a draw for all those who say it was a boxing clinic.

    I trust his opinion a lot more than I do actual judges at ringside or many morons on this forum who dont know how to score a fight.

    Yup, that pretty much sums me up.

    Ledderman is an idiot, no doubt, but he's one of those guys you love to hate.

    I do him give him credit for knowing the sport. He's a hellva a boxing historian. He knows his ****, just can't score a fight to save his life.

    I gotta tell you, Rafael, i don't always agree with Harold.

    But he gets it right more often than the judges.

    We agree on about 80 - 90% of the rounds we jointly score.


    Keep Harold.

    Considering that his scoring does not affect the fight in any way I dont see the need to replace him. He brings entertainment to the table so I dont think he hurts the broadcast.

    Also, I dont think it matters who they put in there because there will always be times where someone doesn't agree with the scoring.

    And furthermore, replace him with who?

    Very interesting. And in some detail, what exactly is this style of scoring?

    Any qualified former professional judge who can pass TV standards. Anyone, of course.
