Why did anyone give Arthur the 3rd rd.?

Which rounds have you scored to the wrong fighter out of guilt?

 

It's a slippery slope. To give the same guy close round after close round after close round weighs on the mind when judging. It's human nature to try and be fair when the other guy has a good round and does something different to justify scoring it for him.

In this match we have a case of Bivol landing the more flashy eye catching shots, often timing Artur coming in and catching him with dynamic punches. Meanwhile Artur's shots often being smothered and catching a lot of gloves. Aside from that, Artur also was the consistent aggressor, the volume puncher, and the ring general. So with these intangibles on Artur's side, he could, according to the scoring criteria, offset some of Bivol's betterment in terms of clean punching. And when you add into consideration of how "effective" Bivol's clean shots were, then it creates even more doubt in the mind of a judge.

 

Yes and that's fine but do we need a whole thread about a single round calling out every member accusing them of being biased, emotional, etc ? Especially when I had Bivol 6-3 up after 9 rounds ?

Just seems like a very one sided conversation to me for someone to ridicule members because he has a different opinion.

 

I gave Bivol the first 4 and Artur the next 4

 

I never said they haven't but one boxing fan doesn't answer for me either.

 

It seems like you're implying that because the judges unanimously agreed on a round that's the way the round should have been scored even though this thread did a good job showing why the judges were wrong

 

In your opinion not mine and why aren't there threads like this for all the debatable rounds Bivol may not of deserved ? As I said one sided conversation not interested especially after being called out when I had Bivol had 6-3 ahead after 9 rounds.

 

Because the judges didn't unanimously give Bivol rounds that he lost

 

2 judges had it very close maybe they scored some rounds wrong in favour of Bivol aswell ? All I keep seeing is one sided views in regards to Bivol.

Someone else started another thread he had Bivol winning 2 out of the 3 last rounds is that good scorecard ? No one called him out for it.

But here I am getting called out being accused of being biased, emotional, because someone went back and "analysed" a round it's nonsense. Shall we do that for every round for Bivol aswell ? Or is it only Beterbiev that gets the special treatment of "analysing" rounds.

If I wanted to go back and watch a fight I would I don't need to justify my scoring to anyone my scorecard was completely reasonable and in line with the majority and the 2 of the 3 judges.

 

If you look at the scorecards they gave Bivol every round he def won 1,2,8,9 which isn't controversial and most of the close rounds they gave to Beterbiev which is where the controversy comes from you can't look at the judges scorecard and point to a round they gave to Bivol that he didn't deserve so I don't see why it's wrong to look if the judges were right or wrong in their scoring
