the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

I love Kawaguchi-San. What a great upload, and what a great left hook.

 

povetkin v huck

6 rounds a piece so i scored it a draw upon second viewing.

povetkin horribly wide open to the right hand. he's also slowed down a bit from his prime imo. wasted talent really.

 

Watched Calzaghe vs Hopkins as a warm up before Cloud.



114-113 for Calzaghe. Struggled to give rounds to either at times. Calzaghe barely landed anything flush and was slapping with his punches alot. While Hopkins was relying solely on the right hand.



Then I fell asleep and missed the Cloud vs Hopkins fight damn it . Its on the download now though

117-111 Mayweather

ODLH hardly caught Mayweather all night, those flurries didn't do much for me. Mayweather was just too accurate, couldn't miss with the right hand all night. Pretty easy for Mayweather, can't see how it was a split decision in all honesty. Clear Mayweather win.

 

What about Oscar's jab for the first five or six rounds?

Hard to score for me, usually have it 115-113 Floyd. I honestly find Floyd-Castillo I a much clearer decision.

 

His jab was effective but I dunno I think I'm just more biased toward clean punching over the Calzaghe-esque flurries ODLH followed his jab with. My first time scoring it, I'll probably look at it again in a while, ill see how I score it then!

Haven't seen seen Mayweather-Castillo yet, that'll be next for me. How'd you score it?

 

Floyd barely throws anything for round upon round though. I know what you mean about clean punching though. Floyd's economic output is hard to gauge as, usually, whenever he throws he lands and if he doesn't, the work he does is aesthetically pleasing, and it's usually what you remember from the round.

I think my scorecard is in here somewhere pal, most say it's 7-5 either way, I didn't think Castillo did enough to win it. There are deductions as well.

 

Thats spot on really, very good point.

Scoring Mayweather-Castillo I now, have Mayweather 5-1 through 6.

 

Never expect anything less lads

113-113 draw

Honestly one of the hardest fights to score that I've seen. At least 4 of the rounds could've gone either way IMO. Either way I'd be happy with the decision, close close fight.

 

Great minds and all that:hey

I can see my scoring of that fight changing next time I watch, hard fight to score definitively.

 

Watched the other payakaroon. First he got outboxed by Roman but not outclassed till.the end. Then he ran into unstoppable.Thai hurricane galaxy and was lucky to stay standing.

 

Remind me who got knocked down in that fight again?

 

In terms of action? I haven't gotten through them all yet, haven't seen much of his 140 fights and a couple of his 147 ones too so I'll take your word on it!
