I just want to see what percentage of fans on here leave their biases aside, and can keep it real.
How you scored these two fights is a good litmus test for whether or not you have any business scoring fights/being taken seriously on your scoring.
I had Lopez winning by a round I think. Not that difficult to score as Loma didn’t do much for the first half of the fight.
How did you score round 2 in that fight?
When I watched it live I had Kovalev winning. On the rewatch it was definitely closer than originally thought.
I remember there were maybe 2 rounds in the first 7 or whatever that were close in Loma-Lopez. But honestly I think giving Loma 1 of those was more than fair. Maybe have been in the first 6 rounds.
I think round 2 I still scored to Lopez. Only in hindsight I think it looks like an either way round. When live, I think it was one of those were I said 'well maybe a judge could slide that to Loma if necessary' - but you can't score rounds like that. Sliding every round possible to a guy. I'll have to rewatch soon.
2, 7-11 for Lomachenko is very reasonable. 2 being the only round I feel is a swing round.
I'd have to watch it again, but for me it came down to having to give Loma like every close round. It felt like a close fight to me, but a clear winner.
I felt like Loma gave away like 6 rounds or so where Teo clearly won, some of them without even throwing many punches.
Just felt like 5 rounds that night was charitable to Loma. He definitely won a string of rounds in the 2nd half of the fight though.
Both fights were similar - one guy dominated the first half - but for me in Kov-Ward, the last 6 were competitive. Whereas in Lopez-Loma, Loma was definitely the better man in the last 6, just think he dug a hole too deep.

Ooops. Apologies. Inadvertantly voted from the PICK EM CREW account instead of my personal account. Can't unvote, so I'll have to let it stand but it should be considered my personal vote rather than the opinions of the CREW as a whole.

I think Kov's was clearer. KD means Ward had to get 7, and 5 felt like a lot for him. I had 4 on fight night and it felt charitable.
I could see 5 for Loma but almost impossible to get 6. He gave away almost every round he lost, to where there was no question about the rounds he lost.

I’m fine with that Kova score I remember watching. The fight and thinking at the end Kova did it no way they can rob him then when they announced Ward the winner he looked more surprised than anyone else on the arena. There was no way Ward won that fight no way, that was just a horrible job they did on Kovalev.
Yeah I was honestly shocked as well. Felt the same way. Just figured the better man was going to get the nod that night, did not think there was any reason to stack the deck for Ward. Didn't see that coming at all.
This should not be a debate Lopez and Kovalev won clearly especially Lopez.
