*sigh* Why do I even bother ATTENTION: The boxing Ignorant (Sangresabia and Jim Jeff)

I wouldn't put it that Clottey was dominating the round. He wasn't. But I had Clottey winning the round. I don't think that a flash knockdown deserves to a 3 point turn around. You give one point for the knockdown. Then what? Forget Cotto-Clottey for a sec. If the fighter that was winning the round up to that point scores the knockdown it should be a 10-8 round. If the fighter that was losing the round scores the knockdown should it still be a 10-8 round? I don't think so. You would then be awarding him 3 points for the knockdown. So if you're losing 10-9 and get one point for the knockdown does it become 10-10? 9-9? I can see making it 10-9 to the fighter who scored the KD but can't see it being 10-8.

Just Showing some respect for this thread. I felt the same way. It was an easy 9-9 score... That is... If you can score 9-9 in this scenario... It's true, an off balance knockdown gets you a point... but it don't give you a round you were losing in my book. -Peace!

Me too. It sucks he went down cuz that stupid lil flash in the last few seconds of a rd he was winnin imo cost him the title. But that's the way the judges roll. 10-8 is automatic unless the dropped fighter has a very strong rally prior to or after the KD. Just winnin the rd ain't enuf. They never cut fighters a break like that. I agree with this though, good post mang! :fing02:

Awarding Points For each round, judges determine the score using the ten-point must system. This means that (usually) the winner of the round gets ten points, and the loser gets nine points. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, when a fighter is knocked down, that fighter loses a point. So if the fighter that was knocked down loses the round the score would be 10 to 8 for that round. If the fighter that was knocked down wins the round (which is rare) the score would be 9 to 9. If a fighter is knocked down twice, the score would normally be 10 to 7 for the round. If three knockdowns occur you should have a 10 to 6 round, etc. Also, it is possible for a judge to score a round as a tie, which is exceedingly rare. In this case the score for the round would be 10-10. If each fighter scores a knockdown, the knockdowns effectively cancel each other out and the score returns to 10 points for the winner and 9 points for the loser of the round. I won't post the source because it came from another site, but I had to put these two Phuckholes and blast for giving me red K without doing their research. This is ofcourse in reference to Cotto Clottey rd 1 where I made it known that I scored it 9-9 because Clottely IMO was winning the round up until the last couple secs in which he was knocked down. In my opinion and the way I see it... if somebody knocks the other guy down that's a 10-8 round to them. If there winning the round I understand them in having a case of 10-9 or 9-9, but I and many other don't see it that way, a knock down is a knock down... which makes the round a 10-8.

I agree your entitled to score a round however you see it...giving you Red K for your opinion is bush...IMO...heres some green. I wasn't asking for it but I'll take it lol preciate the gesture

It's refreshing to have a discussion with someone that's actually knowledgeable with valid contributions. Unlike that retard racist Jim Jefferies... Jim Jefferies was a bum anyway ask Jack Johnson :)

unless something really significant happens, i score a round 10-8 for a knockdown.

Exaxtly... but even the fact that he was winning the round is up for debate...It wasn't like he was dominating the round...It was a close round before the knockdown...The knockdown makes it a mute point...10-8Cotto. I can't remember another time I have heard of a fighter suffering a flash knockdown in a round that he may or may have not been edging and getting a 9-9 round...or even 10-9...always 10-8 against. we can go back and forth with this but our opinions will never change. Clottely was winning that round not edging it out. The fact that it was a flash knockdown doesn't add strength to your argument. You may not have seen it but it's not far-fetched

not necessarily I had him winning based on ring generalship and accurate punches, he got knocked down with mere seconds remainding. As i said before, if it wasn't for the KD I would have scored the round for Clottey. That's where the real debate lies not in the method of how I scored the round. Me too.

Followin or preceding the KD, the fighter who gets dropped has to do damage to get back a point. If he was simply gettin the best of the rd without hurtin the other guy and gets dropped, it's a 10-8 rd for the man who got the KD. not necessarily I had him winning based on ring generalship and accurate punches, he got knocked down with mere seconds remainding.

To bad the official judges seen it different...Good day sir. 10-8 Cotto. That doesn't matter to me It's all subjective... but these Phuckholes are telling me learn how score when they don't even know the first thing about scoring. It was my opinion he was winning the round, his jabs were sharper and more accurate to boot compubox can prolly vouch for that. I'm not arguing with anyone that had it 10-8, that's your opinion and a reasonable one so fine. But don't argue with me and tell me that the way I saw was impossible and I can't score a fight. Do some phucking research that's all i'm saying
