What was your scorecard for Hearns vs Leonard II?

The default position even at the time, was the 12th was a 10/8 round.

The fight damns ten point must. Everyone knows (Including the ego himself), that Tommy won that fight, but under the system of scoring, the fight can be justified as a draw.

 

Do you have a score card?

I scored the first 10/10 and the last 10/9 , there is two points from by four point spread, don't know where to get the other two?

 

Hearns by a point, maybe two.

 

Round 1: 10/10*
Round 2: 10/9 TH
Round 3: 10/8 TH
Round 4: 10/9 TH
Round 5: 10/8 RL
Round 6: 10/9 TH
Round 7: 10/9 RL
Round 8: 10/9 TH
Round 9: 10/9 RL
Round 10: 10/9 RL
Round 11 10/8 TH
Round 12: 10/8 RL

Thus my scorecard read: 113/112 to Tommy...

*:scaredas: I actually scored a round even:huh

 

I think most objective folk would have had a round or 2 even easy.

This is how i scored it without employing the must system.

Round 1: 10/10..Even
Round 2: 10/9....Hearns
Round 3: 10/8....Hearns
Round 4: 9/10....Leonard
Round 5: 9/10....Leonard
Round 6: 10/10..Even
Round 7: 9/10....Leonard
Round 8: 10/9....Hearns
Round 9: 10/9....Hearns
Round 10 9/10....Leonard
Round 11 10/8....Hearns
Round 12 9/10....Leonard

Hearns 115.....Leonard 113

Under the must system i've given those 2 rounds to Hearns.

 

Hearns Leonard
1\ 10 - 10
2\ 10 - 09
3\ 10 - 08
4\ 10 - 09
5\ 09 - 10
6\ 10 - 09
7\ 10 - 09
8\ 09 - 10
9\ 09 - 10
10\ 09 - 10
11\ 10 - 08
12\ 09 -10

Hearns 115 - Leonard 112

Yeah pretty close, only diferance is round 7 & 8.

You don't like even rounds?

 

No, Judges are there to judge, not sit on the fence, anyone can do that.

IMO (now a days, but seemingly not in 1988), unless two fighters totally mirror image each other for the whole three minutes, someone had an advantage, and judging that advantage is what them three men/women, with the best seats in the house are paid to do.

 

Even rounds make perfect sense. I've lost count how many times I've been unable to separate two fighters in a single round...so I just mark it down even. Makes sense.

 

That is giving up, that is not judging.

If you consider a round dead even, you should give it to the champ (or house fighter) as it the responsibility of the challenger to win, not steal the fight.

Now I have lobbed that grenade, I am out of here!:yep

 

The thing with even rounds is it becomes much easier to score very competitive fights for the guy you may prefer for whatever reason.And with it present a still relatively appropriate looking card.

Be it unwittingly(we all have a certain bias) or because you're a crafty sly *******.

I try not to score more than 2 at the very most in a 12 round fight.Usually it's crap fights with hardluy any clean work going on that i end up breaking that rule.


Been ages since i watched this, but wasn't only one of the Hearns knockdowns a particularly damaging one?.

 

14-12 tommy

115-111 Hearns

Official: 112-113, 112-112, 113-112 Draw

 

115-112 Hearns, 7 Hearns - 5 rounds Leonard.

Hearns won this fight clearly. A draw is a christmas present for Leonard.

 

Hearns won the fight...the 2 knockdowns should have sealed it for him...SRL stated on TV that Tommy beat him...the draw was BS...
