    Really, judges don't score the rounds in advance how they see them?

    I'm inclined to believe you, as you've got some inside knowledge and seem a smart cookie, but thats worrying. This isn't a street fight, its a sport with strict scoring rules. What you're implying is that judges will fgo back and change their round by round scorecards to give the fresher fighter the nod, n'est-ce pas?

      Let me tell you, in between rounds, I don't watch the corners. I watch the judges. I rarely see any pencil action with officials in between rounds. I see them afterwards tabulating the tallies, which concerns me a great deal. Ever notice why when a fighter knows he's been beat but his corner tell him to raise his hands and act the part of the winner? Well, it's because the judges are influenced by stuff like that. It's very sad, most judges in this sport are incompetent.

        I'm a big fan of Bell but he lost that fight. He possesses an almost Ali-like quality for 'playing possum.' He consistently looks exhausted and/or hurt but is seemingly never either. Mormeck had zero left for the last four rounds but Bell could not seem to put anything together. Maybe he thought he had the fight in the bag and didn't need to. Bell will watch that fight on tape and be furious with himself. If they meet again (and they should) Bell will take Mormeck out. I wouldn't call Bell arrogant but--not to get all stereotypical--the man is Jamaican: a strange combination of laid back and angry. To reiterate: Bell beats Mormeck easily in what should be the final chapter of damned good trilogy. Not that my opinion is worth anything. But there it is.

            There are many things wrong with O'Neil Bell. He has sparse defense. He gives away rounds. Some have claimed he has china in the beard. But one thing that cannot be taken from him is his courage; The man has cantoulopes in his trunks.

            After the Braithwaite fight, everyone was big on Mormeck. Why not? He had just beat up the best fighter in the division. Mormeck was the steamroller that had crushed the Big Truck. What chance would Bell, who had stolen one from a used up Dale Brown have with the French Adonis?

            After having won their first encounter by way of frightening KO, Bell went to France and defended once more with Mormeck. If you look at Mormeck's physique, you would assume that Bell would need to run all night tp survive. Instead, it was Mormeck who was in need of a place to hide most of the night. In another all action war, Bell came up just short in his opponent's hometown, acquiescing his belts. But in the process, earned a great deal of respect from this pundit.

            What ever happened to Bell's weak beard? He's estimated that he'd been down 8 times in his career, but can walk through all hell from Mormeck? Maybe he's employing some of his countryman Livingstone Bramble's secret elixirs?....

            Livingstone Bramble is from Saint Kitts and Nevis and spent a lot of his life in the US ****** Islands. O'Neill Bell is a Jamaican born US American. They aren't from the same country.

              i_ think mormeck is a better fighter and will win a 3th fight if it happens. he need only too begin slower because his stamina isn't so good, if not bell may knock him out in the later rounds
