Fights you remember differently to what actually happened

Furn11y ago

Does anyone else have fights from ages ago that when they rewatch them they are different ot how you remember them. A couple for me are. Julian Jackson v Errol Graham. I was pretty young when i watched this but I always thought Graham dominated for 9-10 rounds and was on the verge of winning then got caught with not long to go but it was actually a 4th round KO. De la Hoya v Chavez 1. I remembered this as DLH absolutely destroying Chavez landing at will with nothing coming back but rewatching it DLH didnt land that much it was just that Chavez had alot of blood. Also Hamad v Barrera I remembered it as Hamad losing every round and just getting owned but rewatching it, it was quite competitive despite being a clear MAB win. Its funny how our memory works, anyone got any similar memories.

Canelo-Trout, thought it was close live but upon rewatching it, Trout put on a pathetic display, wasn't even close. 8-4 + KD Canelo Mayweather-Maidana I, thought a draw might have been conceivable, it was somewhat competitive but not close, 9-3/ 8-4 Pacquiao-Bradley 1, thought robbery live but then I saw an entirely different fight after watching it a few times. Could have gone either way, scored it a draw. Coincidentally, I guess I was swayed by the commentary in these fights. Usually I'm not questioning my own sanity but that's it for now unless I can remember more.

Pacquiao bradley II. Watching the fight live i thought pac was really doing horrible, and would get jmm'd anytime. Rewatched it countless times, pac was doing fine actually. Floyd-delahoya/hatton: i thought delahoya did enough, after rewatching it its 8 to 4 for floyd. I thought floyd-hatton was never that good of a fight, after rewatching it, it was actually the last fight put on a master offense, maidana floyd wouldve look the same in his prime. The thing is, fights appear faster to me after rewatching them, during live they look fukn slow or am i that impatient and have too much expectations.

Mayweather-Castillo I would be the most obvious. Called it a robbery for years, but rewatched for the first time since it happened three years ago and scored it for Floyd. Morales-Barrera I. When I first saw that fight, I thought Morales won. Wong. :rofl: I was in middle school(?) at the time, however.

Also Hamad v Barrera I remembered it as Hamad losing every round and just getting owned but rewatching it, it was quite competitive despite being a clear MAB win. Its funny how our memory works, anyone got any similar memories. Lol I saw that fight live on tv and was the only time I watched it, I actually had in my mind that mab knocked him out Lol. I realized a few years ago he just won soundly. Also vargas vs Oscar I thought was a beating because of that brutal left hook oscar threw but in actuality it was a close fight.
