Thomas Hauser scored Sheeraz Adames a draw

I had Adames squeaking out a close decision. But, neither fighter really deserved a win. They both stank on hot ice. I never want to watch either of them fight again.

 

Sheeraz to me is highly overrated and nowhere near the fighter they were trying to portray him as.

 

Yeah this is not a vintage crop of middleweights at all.

 

Scored it a draw and felt it wasn't that hard to arrive at the card. Tough for me to give Adames any of the first four, and I thought Sheeraz took the final two as well.

 

A lot of people on the British forum don't seem to score fights. Just check out the round by rounds. You don't see many people posting their scorecards. They'll usually just make a general comment on the action in the ring rather than giving their round by round score.

When just watching and not scoring, you pick a winner by a general feel over the 12 rounds rather than watching more eagle eyed when scoring round by round.

I can see why many there felt that Adames' won as he was attacking constantly whilst Sheeraz didn't look like he was doing much. The lack of action makes you switch off. However, if you didn't fall asleep and watched carefully, you'll see that Adames' barely landed a glove on Sheeraz early on as Sheeraz controlled distance well and kept Adames' at the end did his jab.

It was crap to watch, but those early rounds were clearly Sheeraz's.

I've done it myself; watched a fight without scoring, then watched it again when scoring round by round and I'll often have a different winner.

 

Sounds like Hauser is now employed by the Ring Magazine.

 

I've often thought that as this isn't the first time. All have good posters. It's intriguing.

 

Shawn Porter had Hamzah winning ...and he was ringside ..

 

I rewatched yesterday i had
1-4 for Sheeraz
5-10 for Adames
11 for Sheeraz
12 for Adames
7-5 Adames
Rounds 2 and 12 are swingy - i can see a draw but cannot see a Sheeraz win, that just didnt happen.

 

I fell asleep so couldn't completely my score. Dullest fight of the night by far.

 

It was a massive robbery, for the 'Saudi Ambassador'. The commentary were terribly biased for Sheeraz in the first 4 rounds when in reality he did nothing,

Sheeraz was stepping up from domestic level to World level, And he just didn't know what to do, he was clueless and a robotic statue with no Ring IQ or inside game. He fought scared like a deer in the headlights, with no urgency. It was laughable how he was trying to nick rounds from the champion. At no point in any of the fight did he seem like he was ripping the title from the champion.

Adames got into his rhythm and was sharp, fluid and confident with nice head movement, He controlled everything, landed the cleaner shots and looked every bit the defending champion. Adames won the fight clearly and badly exposed Sheeraz.

Turki clearly paid off 2 judges before the fight, they desperately wanted him to win, imagine how ridiculous the scorecards would have been if the fight had been competitive! Crazy corruption
