    He bet a lot of money on that fight, he swears all Ray did was run and flurry at the end of every run. I can't believe he still hasn't gotten over it.:-(

    Well in this case he was neither effective nor landed it. Its not like he followed up with anything. He jabbed got inside and got counter punched or tied up. Over and over and over. So like I said, UNEFFECTIVE jab.

    These same ignorant people probably have the biggest impact on what fights we see. Super fights happen because the casual fan wants a part of it. More importantly no one deserves to be deceived regardless of their boxing knowledge. Nothing positive comes out of that.

    As far as your scoring, I'll save my opinion on that for another topic :yep

    In some cases looks can be deceiving. This is not one of those cases.

    That happened all night. Joe missed tons of slaps, that's y I can't discredit the old man. However, Joe, at least was slapping, while Bernard was less active, albeit more effective.

    I thought Joe won on workrate alone. IT can be argued that BHOP won on clean punches landed.

    A disgrace? How so. That headbutt is only a disgrace if you are a Calzaghe sack-rider. Joe did it to himself but jumping in like that, and he got a nice right to the jaw as well.

    Again, why people argue that he cheated to get those 3 mins.... he DID NOT CHEAT. He got hit low, he had up to 5 mins. He too less than 3. By the book, he did not cheat.

    Did he need 3 mins? Probably not, but it's beside the point, it was NOT cheating.

    You are wrong.. I box, I know the rules!

    To be classified as a blow, a punch has to land with sufficient force. In the 10th it was a tap on the belt line, not a punch of sufficient force. Read the rule book :)

    Is it one guy with a clicker, or multiple guys in different positions around the ring with clickers and a punch is only registered when the majority of them agree a punch was thrown?

    ad82, it's no use arguing with a ******, so we'll have to disagree.
