Watching fights without sound.

[McGoorty]

I always turn the sound off when I watch fights on HBO but I dont like watching a fight with noise and end up turning it back on. One thing I have started to do is find versions of a fight in a different language. Its great haha but some you cant find. I love watching a fight on Spanish broadcasting and there's a live one often. Effects the way you score a fight.

I like watching old Marciano and Basilio fights with modern Japanese commentators, man it's classic..... they speak so fast and go OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhHHHhhhhhh everytime Rocky or Carmen land. You can tell that the commentators are so in awe of the ferocity of those fights..... classic stuff.

No sound means not being able to hear punch impact.

No idea how a fight can be scored without that. Especially in the pros where the power of the punch matters. Otherwise, there would be deaf boxing judges to go along with the blind ones we already have in the sport.

To score a fight, you needs to engage your eyes AND ears.

yea but sometimes u only hear the punches that are close to the mics around the ring

i think its easy to assume the effectivness of a punch without sound

the crowds cheering and bias can really effect a score card

when ever im rewatching a close fight with a contravercial decision i turn teh volume donw. it makes it easier to score
