Am I the only one who thinks steve farhood's scorecards are a joke? I guess its no different on hbo or any other network and i understand why they do it but these guys are turning into obvious mouth pieces scoring fights for the network backed fighter. When a fighter gets beat they find a way to score it a draw etc etc. Maybe im the only one who cares but these network mouthpiece score cards are getting old
Harolds cards could be bad.
Because of him I saw the robbery coming in the first Pac Vs Bradley fight.
When I saw he gave Pac the first round Vs Bradley, in which everyone including commentators gave to Bradley. I knew the rest of the cards were gonna be even far off.
that was ridiculous, i actually missed lederman watching that ****.
jack won by a wide margin, i cant see dirrell winning more than 3-4 rounds and thats being as generous as i possibly can. some of the rounds farhood scored for dirrell were not only won by jack but they werent even close.
It's not like Lederman's are much better, or Weisfeld's who's even worse. I'm sure most of the time they just listen to the commentators and try to follow the trend.
I think Farhood is usually pretty good - i feel comfortable with his scores because I know he watches a lot of small fights than most don't give a crap about and is usually spot on. IF he's off a little in a notable fight it's whatever, just a scorecard that I don't agree with. Same thing with people here - I might disagree with some people hre but at least I know most of you are watching fights, know how to score, etc. etc I'm fine with it
I can't remember if it was the Abril fight or if it was Alvarado. You remember BG?
It was the Rios-Acosta fight:
http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1564222
Press row scores: Steve Kim: 85-84 for Rios, Rick Reeno: 85-84 for Acosta, Elie Seckbach: 88-82 for Rios
Seckbach was seeing a much different fight than anyone else :lol1:
Depends on the fighters usually.
Porter-Brook was a clear example; he had Brook with a solid lead and then began scoring clear Brook rounds (the clearest rounds of the whole fight) for Porter to make it look closer and make a potential robbery seem less blatant.
He did the same last night for Dirrell.
Anyone remember when Eli Seckbach had a scorecard on HBO? Had Brandon Rios winning every round despite clearly losing. That was the worst ever.
:lol1: didnt know about that

Yes, I remember that. I think Rick Reeno was scoring the fight as well

Yeah I vaguely remember that. Was it the Abril fight?
It's probably quite difficult to have your scorecards on live TV all the time and never look ridiculous.

I thought his Garcia vs Peterson score card was one of the worst I have seen. Especially after video analyzing the fight, it really showed how bad it was.
ya im not just basing this on one fight nor am i strictly calling out farhood im simply trying point out that lately it seems you cant trust these guys keeping score and it just seems they are nothing but a network tool to make the viewer think i fighter is better then he really is
I couldn't fault him for last night, jack was able to move Dirrell where he wanted but most of the time he wasn't really landing anything significant and when dirrel Was running in the last 2 he outlanded him a few times.
I agree. Some of the late rounds he gave to Dirrell were clearly Jack rounds with Jack chasing him and landing most of the punches and Dirrell mostly running and holding.
