Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4671362, member: 289"] The scoring in boxing doesn't nec3essaily reflect the closeness of the fight, although 116-112 isn't exactly a rout. You can have 12 close rounds, 6-8 of which could go either way, and come up with a score like that, (as the judges did: 116-112, 115-113 x2). You just watch the rounds and record who you think won them, subtract for knockdowns or point deductions, (there were none last night), and add them up. You don't go back and say, "gee this seemed like a closer fight than 116-112 so I'll go back and give Loma a couple more rounds to make my score look better". A fascinating battle of high-level talents. Loma can be a test for any of them. Have him take on Shakur while Haney fights Davis and then the winners get together for a mega-fight! Oh, I forgot. This is boxing... [/QUOTE]
