I usually happen to be on your guys side when when I add my scorecards but last two weeks I am closer to judges.
I had Karmazin fight 85:85 at the time of stoppage and I managed to give 7 rounds to Vanes
I had the fight 96:93 Vanes. I gave all the close rounds to him and 3 rounds that went Ouma way were not debatable (5th, 6th and 10-8 round). There were 3 rounds that I could as easily give to Ouma beacuse they were that close. Like 9th round which was slightly Ouma for me until final 20 secs when the best punches of the round were landed and mostly by Vanes. I liked his clean punches more through the fight and that is probably subjective. Also, I guess watching the internet stream is not like sitting by the ring and in close fights that can make the difference. It is matter of taste this whole scoring the fight thing. In most sports you can add the points at the end and have clear winner. To bad boxing is not that way but it isn't. We don't have to have "this can happen only in boxing" type of reaction after every close fight.
Didn't write this to start the argument, just to show I saw things differently last two weeks. Cintron-Martinez and Funeka-Guzman were robberies, this was a fight which could go ether way.
No argument my friend...discussion. That's what this forum is for. Although I had both scored differently, you are right. There were alot of close rds, and it does give some perspective as to how people can see different fights. Agreed, boxing is very tough that way...anything close is controversial.
Way to stand behind your scoring and knowledge of the game! :box2:
