as a martial arts fan and practitioner, evading and defense is beautiful. But in all due respects, in boxing - there's no points or credits for it. It is only for the serious boxing fan and afficionado not only to appreciate it but hold it as the highest standard of "fighting" - not getting hit.
Boxing as a sport has become an "offensive" sport only.

Judges have historically seemed to credit Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, Pernell Whitaker and others for effective defense.

Kind of like when an opponent gets Floyd on the ropes or lands some jabs and a few body punches, people go ape s**t.
Or when Floyd out lands his opponent all round, but his opponent gets him on the ropes once or twice in the round and land 2-3 good punches, and bias fans say he lost the round???

Originally posted by Ring Leader View PostHBO commentary doesn't give credit for any fighter vs. Pacquiao. They are pretty damn biased towards Mayweather too.
HBO made a 10-2 fight sound more competitive than it was.

Originally posted by #1Assassin View Postall fighters should get credit for blocking/evading punches, its one of the four criterias for scoring a fight! why dont you ask why they get credit for hitting pacquiao while your at it
pacquiao doesnt get enough credit for his own defense, ill give you that. its like bcuz his defense is garbage in some fights ppl ignore it even in the fights where its damn good.
But then when pac misses with tim ducking for his life and not even countering it's such a big deal and bradley should be given points or something.Last edited by johncods; 06-23-2012, 02:58 PM.
