All three judges gave rounds 7 and 12 to the Ghost. Two gave him the 1st, and the remaining judge gave him the second.
As for the 12th, usually when a guy runs the entire 12th round he forfeits the round. Rightfully so imo.
So, what rounds could Guerrero have won? I didn't score a single round for him, and there was only one I even considered giving him.
Rounds 1, 2, and Floyd gave away round 12.
Did he run the entire round though? Its pretty fresh in my memory and He definitely ran for portions of it, but he also landed some wicked shots whereas RG wasnt landing anything.
The first two, maybe ill watch them back. I thought they were pretty clear tbh, they were opening rounds so they arent going to be completely one sided but it was Mayweather again landing the better shots and making Guerrero miss by quite a long way at points.
That's just something I've noticed as somewhat customary. Mayweather was clearly looking to just cruise the last round and not take risks. Usually the fighter forfeits the round in the judges eyes by doing this, and this case was no exception. That was my take away.
As for my scoring, that was how I saw it at the time. Mayweather is always a slow starter. I thought the Ghost took round 1. Round two Mayweather was already starting to get going, but I gave it to the Ghost narrowly. I don't have a problem with people giving the rounds to Mayweather. It seems that the 7th was the most consensus round for the Ghost. I sort of missed it. I don't know if I even saw the entire round.
Ah man it was a horrible fight. Just terrible. Guerrero didn't go for it. Just tried getting him against the ropes every round and landing a few.
Few fighters have been able to not be picked apart, while not landing much, aginst Mayweather...
Fury will get knocked out by Deontay Wilder if they ever fight. You heard it here first. Forget about Wlad, Fury will NEVER be ready for him.
That fight could be a toss up, honestly. Two c-rate fighters throwing hammers at each other, someone would be sure to get knocked out.
Price-Fury still makes a lot of sense IMO, especially if Price beats Thompson in the rematch.
I'd rather see Thompson KO Price again, and then KO Fury. Hell, he can KO Wilder too, make it a hat trick. That is, if Audley doesn't do so first, which he might.
Fury has some growing to do before he can take on Wladimir. Wladimir is far too smart for him, too much skill.
Yeah, I really don't think Wladimer would fall for Fury's bread and butter left elbow-right hand combination.
He has, it's HW boxing and Wlad's been knocked out previously. He has lets say a 1 percent chance.
They could fight a hundred times, and my money would be on 100 wladimer victories, without even a hint of hesitation, so no, lets not say.
%.1, maybe. But that could be a stretch.
Because it would be entertaining while it lasts, at least Fury will come to fight unlike diva hayefaker. ENTERTAINMENT, plus Fury is a good singer :friday:
Fury has absolutely no chance against Wladimer.
I just watched this fight. With proper officiating, Fury should've been disqualified. I sort of liked Fury before this fight, and this isn't a case of me being butt hurt. That was absurd. The "knockout" alone was a foul, he landed a forearm strike, which spun Cunningham's head around, and followed it with the right. I didn't know that forearm-righthand was a legitimate boxing combo. That alone arguably deserved a DQ.
Here's a link you fool: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-2052888/Wladimir-Klitschko-Jean-Marc-Mormeck-fights-like-Mike-Tyson.html
Like I said, clearly out taken out of context.
'I would compare him with Mike Tyson; he is never going backwards like David Haye (did),' added Klitschko, who is expected to bring a 15-kilogram advantage into the ring.
I know you are not smart enough to understand this, but he is talking about the style, i.e. that he will come forward. He isn't saying that he is a fighter on par with Tyson. He is using what is called an analogy to refer to the style he expects.
Now go take a nap.
What's worse? Fighting Harrison and saying the fight will be like a gang rape? Or fighting Mormeck and likening him to Mike Tyson (lol).
Klitschko nuthuggers are quick to put Haye down, but at least he's honest. Not like Wlad, conning his fans into a shrimp-salat get together to watch him knock out some bum.
At least Wlad. fights. And, he has pretty much been cleaning out his division. Care to quote the remark where he compared Mormeck to Tyson? Because if such a remark was said, you are surely taking it out of context here.
Haha. Mormeck a career CW that hadn't fought in 2 years is better than Audley Harrison a European champion who KO'd his opponent cold in the last round? That's the funniest thing i've ever heard.
Yes Mormeck, a former cruiserweight champion, is better than the never has been, Audley Harrison. If you don't understand that, you don't understand much about boxing.
Just imagine what Klitschko would do to Audley?
You guys defending Haye on this one, keep in mind that he did sign for the fight. It isn't as though he was some victim here, bamboozled into it because Sky wanted it.
When Hopkins and Ward use questionable tactics, they are a "G" and learned dat **** in da hood...
When a big white guy does it, it's cheap and dirty tactics.
Agenda????
Fury should never be mentioned in the same paragraph, hell the same chapter, as Hopkins and Ward, let alone the same sentence.
A prime 1970's Foreman is one of the fighters I would favor over either Klitschko.
Along with prime versions of Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, and Lennox Lewis.
Well put, I have to agree.
That's what made Foreman so deadly, he was basically a punching machine
he loaded up all his shots, they were not the fastest, but he hit you with shots from all angles with timing
You can see a baseball bat coming at you, but when it lands somewhere it's going to hurt
The famous foreman anywhere punch. "Whatever it hits it breaks."
Nice try, byrd was getting his a55 kicked until vitali was injured. So in theory, unless vitali gets injured, big (average today) george would get out smarted, out fought and out endured against vitali.
I haven't watched that fight for quite some time, but I think that Byrd really did bring the fight to him and put on a lot of pressure.
Vitali got better probably as his career went on.
There can obviously never be a resolution to fantasy fights, nobody will ever know, and it is all just speculative.
I think that smart fantasy money though is on prime fantasy Foreman over prime fantasy Vitali.
That is only my opinion though.
Both are completely excellent fighters.
I wonder if people have actually watched George Foreman fight. He really isn't as good as people pretend. If he lived in this era he would be nothing special
Reverse psychology here?
See Bolded: I give up on you. The Klitschko's are 22-2 and 15-2 in title fights. That's a combined record of 37-4 in title fights alone.
Vitali came back after 4 years off and destroyed the #1 heavyweight challenger in his 1st fight back to regain his title. This had never been done before. Not even by Ali.
Wlad is in his second title reign, is 14-0 mostly by KO and is 37 years old. Ali was almost a retard by then.
How that's not a description of great boxers, I don't know what is.
i wasn't actually talking about the Klits. I was talking about guys like Wilder, who are successful in a week division just by being very big, very athletic guys and not because they are good boxers.
Lack of talent in the division is not the problem, it's the fact that the Klitschko's make the talent seem pitiful.
Example: Deyontay Wilder won a bronze medal in the olympics, is a 4+ year unbeaten pro now and ten years Wlad's junior and would get absolutely obliterated by him if they were to fight.
That's the reality of the situation. The Klitschko's make the division seem weaker than it is. They have beaten all the American contenders basically, at least the ones who got the opportunity to face them.
Wilder is a pretty poor example. He's more an example of the lack of talent. He had only boxed 2 years when he won his medal meaning he is only on his 7th year of boxing period. The last American super heavyweight Olympian was a football player with little boxing experience. These are just large and athletic guys who can make it in the week division of today. They are not great boxers at all. Wilder will lose when he fights someone with reasonable boxing skill. These guys can't compare with the guys of Ali's era, it is obvious. Boxing use to be a mainstream sport and now it's not. You don't have kids picking up boxing at their local YMCA any more (like Holyfield for instance, the last great American heavyweight).
I don't mind reading British English at all, but what I do mind is misquotes.
Floyd speaks American English. He didn't say that his house "smelt" of urine.
