So I went to my very first fight card last friday at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez. It was a Showtime card, with the contender guy on the undercard and Burton Reyes heading it. Anyways, it was very cool, hearing the sounds and watching the sweat fly off with each punch. However, i went home and watched the shotime broadcast of the fight, and the fight looked completely different. Ive noticed that other people give similar opinions, like the first tarver johnson fight.
So my question is, what do you think gives a more accurate picture of a fight, the television broadcast with its closer angles and shots, or the live ringside view, with the sounds and unbiased commentary.
To me its the same, but it just feels a lot different. Also the fans at ringside can throw you off more then the anouncers. I saw the first Mosley DLH fight live. Most of the fans were screaming whenever DLH landed. I scored the fight in my head and had Mosley winning by one round. All my friends had DLH winning but they werent scoring the fight as much as they were just watching it and hearing the DLH fans.
