What's going on in boxing!?!

Errr...have you seen how many threads we have on this mate? We really don't need another.

 

Erm I thought it was pretty much the other way round. I saw Pavlik landing more, but Taylor landing the better shots, but hey, it was late.

 

i agree that the scores in both fights were more lopsided than they should of been but they got the right winner both times and thats the main thing

 

I thought the fight was a draw.

 

JT did win this fight .... everyone watching the fight with me at the bar thought so to including Kassim Ouma. But it wasnt a robbery on the other hand. Close fight but I dont think Kelly lsnded thst many right hands as they were all blocked. I favoured JT's cleaner harder punches.

 

I think it's just a wrong perception and the counter proof would be that Pavlik and Cotto were the favourites after all. Maybe just the most biased supporters for the favourites look for a clear win for their fighters and the underdogs make it a very, very much closer contest than expected... So that means that they should have been given the verdict just because they proved the extreme prediction wrong? No, I don't think so... Rounds should be fairly given according to punch output, clean punching and aggression and not to the better-looking, superior boxing stylist, flashier-eye catching but still innefective hitter... Mosley made it a close contest in the latter stages coming from behind and Taylor fought toe to toe and was ahead/even into the end stretch but that doesn't make it a win for them... Just that they looked well in defeat against the top middle and one of the two top welters and that is not bad.

 

Bull****. Pavlik won clearly. He landed more punches by a wide margina and also landed more power punches.

 

its happened loads recently i had barrera v marquez 111-116 , 111-116 and then doug tucker has it 118-109 all in favor of marquez
dont know about you but i thought it was far closer

 

The way some on here are making it out as if pav got outclassed,it was ****ing tight as hell,but for me he won by 2-3 rounds,the judges scroes were a bit weird,but then thats judges for you,the black womans score of 115-113 is about right for me,also JT did not moan or say ****,you think if it they had giving it to pav and he in fact lost by a mile,JC and his cormer would have not kicked up a fuss?,get real it was a hard fight thats all,respect to both men

 

i had it 114 - 114

 

It's amazing how many people don't know how to score fights. Even more amazing when you consider the fact that Mosley and Taylor both said they didn't think they won their fights afterwards. What's going on in Boxing is, for whatever reason, it seems to be trendy to lable close, yet clear fights, as "robberies" creating controversy where it isn't needed. Mosley and Taylor conceded, you should too. Just wondering, did you have Williams beating Quintana as well?

 

Fair enough mate,it was tight could have gone either way,but for me pavs aggresion and him coming forward all the time won it for him,in the 11th round he had JT in trouble with a good bodyshot
