Just watched this fight back. I gave it one round to benavidez in a very close fight. Might have gone either way. Yes the judges cards were a farce because it was very close. But to say Herrera was robbed is a bit disrespectful of benavidez who to me was clearly the more talented fighter.
The actual score were so lopsided on a close fight that could had gone either way.
Herrera's pity pat arm punches while sticking his head in the middle of the other guys face doesn't do it for me.
Also body punches don't count in this site
I scored it the following:
--H---B
1-10--9
2-10--9
3-10--9
4-10--9
5--9--10
6--9--10
7--9--10
8--10--9
9--10--9
10--9--10
11--9--10
12--9--10
---114-114 Draw
Very very similar to how I scored it.

Are those the same Judges for Floyd vs Castillo 1 and Floyd vs Madaina 1 ?
for these "robberies" usually a rd-by-rd score is required
so we can avoid the extra work of the full 12, what are the 7 rounds, that you cannot give to benavidez, thus the "robbery"
Not surprising that the same people who've shown an inability to score fights are the same who said it was a draw or Benavidez win.
Nearly all ringside observers scored it for Herrera
They must've had hbo on.
To you it wasn't a robbery but to me it was. I agree that Benavidez has the talent to be a better fighter than Herrera but he has to fight smart and take advantage of his best skills. In this fight he often fought stupidly by laying on the ropes and letting Herrera pound away on him. His corner kept telling not to do this but he continued to make the same mistake and in the opinion of most neutral fans it cost him many rounds. So it doesn't matter if he is a better fighter than Herrera because he fought a stupid fight and lost enough rounds laying on the ropes that he deserved to lose by several points.
I scored the fight 114-114 a draw. I was very very surprised to see people later calling it a robbery. I thought Benavidez clearly landed the better shots. I also thought Herrera was much busier and active. I think a lot of the stuff Herrera was doing was ineffective though. If I had to call a winner though I would have leaned toward Jose Benavidez. Just because I favor quality of punches landed more than body shots hitting the elbows and the power behind the punches. Really tough fight to score though very subjective.
exactly, but still, like you had it a draw, very possible, imo it could have swung either way, but the judges cards were too wide, but then again alot of people here have it too wide for herrera
It's to actually block out the noise of the crowd, and the biasedness of the commentators, so when you score, you are scoring onl
good way to lose sight of one very important criteria, "clean and effective punching"
but then again there are guys on here who actually score rounds based on whoever landed more, even touches count
honestly alot of herrera's bodyshots were elbow flicks, literally, he's feather-fisted enough, but elbow flicks? you score the straights to the body and the hooks that are hard, but alot of the time i dont know how you can score those elbow flicks, they were completely ineffective, and not scoring blows
i dont get this "mute the sound" talk, can't you just ignore their opinions and pay attention yourself?

Is that a new boxing channel for deaf people?

def a close fight, honestly i could have scored it a draw or one point either way...harrera is the new jmm, every loss is a robbery.
Agree with you on the scores. Jmm is a legend. One of the most underrated fighters of his era. Don't get me started on the PAC fights haha
