Where was the controversy?

Really? Dissapointed in a guy on the internet you will never meet. What was your exact scoring then? Come on lets get everyone posting there exact scores up.

 

Were they supposed to be impressed by the one Hopkins right hand a round and his excessive holding and rabbit punching?

Perhaps it was his oscar winning performance after the low blow that should have caught their eye...

He did **** all in this fight. Sure not all of Joe's work was effective, infact most wasn't, but he threw so much more its logical he landed more. It's also logical that when one guy isn't doing anything, and the other is throwing punches you score it in his favour, even if he isn't landing

You've started swearing & sound angry. Weren't you accusing me of being bitter a little while ago? If you want to make this personal lets do so. We haven't had a good row in a while have we boyo?

 

With that statement you completely discredit anything you have to say. Well done.

 

I thought you would be better than to make excuses. Not only that, but I then see you digging at Joe over a potential fight with RJJ

It's all very sour, I was expecting you to man up. Oh well...

 

What the **** are you on about? So are we supposed to score it for the guy doing **** all? One guy is TRYING to fight. He gets credit for that in my book, I want to encourage people to throw a god damn punch.

Not much more to say really. I'll never, ever accept that i'm wrong on this one and don't want to argue with you about it so I'm not going to respond to your next post re this fight.

 

So you think a fight with Roy is a credible fight do you? Please explain how, this should be interesting.

Come on, where are these exact scores? People seem to be using the weight of numbers argument but you must remember half the ESB sheep on here are probably agreeing with someone elses opinion so as to fit in.

 

So you are basically saying that you have created your own method for scoring a bout irrespective of how a fight is meant to be scored?

 

Jones-Calzaghe.... I don't think I could stomach that one.

 

Even Enzo Calzaghe conceeded that he thought Joe needed a KO in the last roungd to win. Mind you what does he know? :yep

 

I don't believe its my own method, but if you are right perhaps I should patent it

When a guy is doing **** all except sit on the ropes and the other guy is throwing combinations I will score that part of the round for him. One guy is fighting, and deserves credit for it. Boxing is already dwindling, and its demise will be fairly quick if people start getting credit for doing nothing

Besides, it wasn't quite to that extreme anyway, because Joe did land, even if they weren't powerful

 

New thread me thinks for people scoring of the fight round by round!
