Hbo lederman scoring scandal/fixing [pictures inside]

During last nights Fight it seemed that Lederman was marking the right winner of the round but during round #4 he suddenly switches it to Berto winning all 3 Rounds, I think Al-Haymon pressured HBO to do it like this. If you remember his other fighters HBO did the exact same thing with Devon Alexander, they had it like 116-112 or even 117. Do you think HBO is cheating and colluding with Al-Haymon? Why? To Influence the viewing public, they made it sound like Berto was this amazing fighter but in reality he gassed in Round #4, landed less punches, and Zavec landed like 30 more powershots than Berto because berto had his hands down and was gasping for air with his mouth open. HBO also didnt mention the HEADBUTT that CLEARLY occured. Something SMELLS FISHY: PICTURE PROOF After Round #1 it said Zavek 10 Berto 9 After Round #3 it said Zavek 27 Berto 30 After Round #4 it said Zavek 39 Berto 37 There is no way Berto won the first 3/4 rounds! He got outpunched by a good margin and was the one hugging, his combos were getting blocked. Whats going on with HBO? Download the fight you will see the same images. http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/1992/round1rh.jpg http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7954/round4.jpg http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5820/round5n.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/veonir.gif

they just messed up the names. lederman doesn't have to cheat to hide his incompetence. (alexander-kotelnik, williams-quintana 1, calzaghe-hopkins, and many more)

I had Zavec winning rounds 2 and 4 fairly clearly. Berto was throwing hard shots, but Zavec was catching almost every single one on his gloves, while landing clean on Berto. I think Berto got lucky. Cuts aside, I thought Zavec was the better fighter in there.

YES!!! If you want to continue you don't let ANYONE know until after the fight!! First off allow me to make this clear to me Devon Alexander is just not a good fighter period and far worse and much less entertaining than Berto but didn't he do the same thing

If Zavec outlanded Berto by such a wide margin in the 4th round that would explain the discrepancy in the punch stats having 1 round were you outland youe opponent that many times sways those #s and that's not an accurate account of the fight in it's full scope plus it's marred by human error after all it's a dude just pushing buttons on what he "thinks" landed and doesn't I'll go by what my eyes saw and they saw a close fight back and forth

Haha well the media was complaining they have nothing to write about this fight, now they sure have gotten a lot of material but I see no article about it. I've not seen so much **** about a fight in a while. ****ty BLIND REF not seeing the headbutts, weird HBO scorecards popping up, what's coming next? Compubox does not show any Berto dominance at all. He threw the best he had at Zavec and hardly anything connected. Zavec was scoring the more accurate punches and more of them. Berto was completely winded, gasping for air between the rounds, Zavec just sat there like he hasn't even started yet. Sorry guys I give props to Berto because he won, but it wasn't like he was winning the fight. I bet he's gonna do the same he did with Collazo, when he promised a rematch but chose to fight bums instead. No, but Zavec's face showed Berto's dominance by the end of the night & he didn't seem to protest the stoppage, so maybe your right.

But scorecards dont matter when the fighter quits cause he can't see....Berto landed less punches.but still stopped him....get over it you racist prick How could he quit if he was screaming F*CK multiple times because of the frustration. Zavec clearly wanted to continue the fight, too bad the cut was that bad.

I'm pretty sure it was just a technical error. This isn't the first time HBO has done this.

It was just an error on the screen with the scores flipped at certain points, lederman gave berto the first 3 rds and zaveck the 4th, meaning 39-37 berto, I personally had it 39-37 zaveck, but no surprise lederman favors the hbo hypejob and ineffective flurries (Devon Alexander-andres kotelnik all over again) Yea but the problem is, HBO uses the same computers/program. Its not like they have a new scoring program every fight, they run run Scoring.exe and enter it in. I just dont know how it goes from 10-9 round for Zavek then end of 3 its 30-27 for berto and end of 4 its 39-37 for Zaveck. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Its like they had 2 programs running at the same time and one had Berto winning every round and the other had Zaveck up 3-1. Really weird, never seen it like that. Lederman wouldve mentioned that it was wrong after Round #1 when he saw it, but he didnt say anything, also after round #4 he didnt say anything.

I did notice that too.but who the hell cares bertos time is limited as champ.he started to putt putt out of gas after the 4th round.nothing new.flat footed,gets tagged easily AND MORE as the rounds went on.ortiz by steam roll again. Sorry to say but 147 is not what it was years ago.its weak.floyd,pacquioa,and ortiz are the top guys but the division isn't abundant with all around talented contenders how it once was.

Yeah I noticed that as well, at least that he scored the first round for Zaveck and then completely changed it later... Odd to say the least.
