There are times when he scores based on his DISLIKE for the guys style that he scores AGAINST. Which isn't the way it should be. It should be your APPRECIATION for the fighter you're scoring for. it's almost like he punishes the fighter he scores against, not rewards the fighters he has winning the round. At times, that makes his scores less than accurate.
i agree alot of the time. but there are times he goes blind for a round or two. but for the most part i score the same. i didnt score the taylor fight like he did or the dlh maywheater fight like he did.
i usually disagree. he is **** at scoring most fights
I can't say I ALWAYS agree.. but I would say 6-7 out of 10 I'm in sync with Harold. Of course those 3-4 times he is employed by HBO and he has to impose his bias HBO opinion..
But when that happens, Larry Merchant usually states his opinion and I'm 9 out of 10 agreeing with him.
You may hate Merchant, but he knows his stuff... his scores are usually spot on (unless he is biased of course )
I agree most of the time but last night I actually disagreed in a few rounds. I had the Calzaghe - Kessler fight a draw but I could see Joe winning 115-113. No way did Kessler lose 9 rounds.
