question about Harold Letterman....

[MetalVomit]

"huh, huh AhOKAY JIM!"

I disagree more than I should with his scoring, off the top of my head, the Barrera/Hamed fight. Letterman had it a relativly close fight when it was a one sided lesson being given by Barrera. Anyone else question his scoring sometimes?

[jack_the_rippuh]

He usually sides with the name fighter..

but i kinda agreed with his scoring on the hammed-barrera fight, altho barrera was dishing out punches to hammed, hammed was from time to time punching bak, but yeah, still sometimes i too question his scoring...i guess its a psychological thing, u cant really give every round to one fighter...i dont know which fight i herd that quote from...

yeah, like when Hop and Tito fought, Lampley said that as was the case in the Tito/DLH fight, judges sometimes struggle to find a reason to give a round to a fighter, he said that was especially the case with Tito, judges would often give him a round when he didnt earn it, good thing Hop KO'd him, he may have gotten what Oscar got when he fought Tito.

yea u got that damn right...its kinda weird once u think about it tho, wat if there were many fights that were badly judged due to inconfident judges...

Hopkins was on his way to winning the Tito fight easy on the scorecards but it is good to see that he did go for the knockout instead of sitting back knowing he won the fight. I wish alot more fighters would do that. Lederman has his good and bad days when judging the fights.

i agree. have some karma.

[ELPacman]

Eh, Lederman is pretty accurate scoring for the most part. I trust his scoring usually. It's usually what I have or when I wonder and then go back and rewatch a fight, I can see the points he'd make. Now, Larry Merchant, let's not begin to talk about him "I scored that round 10 to 9 for Barrera because he got credit for a knockdown, not the 10 to 8 like a knockdown really is." Haha, when you start using the word, really, your in trouble.

Merchant is a senile crazy man, but my friends and I like to wait for him to say something crazy so we can laugh at him.

[Neuraxis]

I agree with Merchant's scoring a whole lot more than I do Lederman's, but I'd say Foreman is the worst at scoring fights.
