      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?

      Anyone know how lederman had Hops/Tarver scored?

        for the most part, lederman usually on point - i remember a couple of times being really upset with his card, barrera/hamed being one, and the other being jirov/toney - toney was EASILY winning that fight, thank God he knocked him down at the end of the fight.

        there was another one, but i forgot, but all-in-all - for the 14 years i've watched the fights, hes the most consistent w/ good scoring, in my eyes.

        i hate merchant - seems he always lets lederman read off his card and JUST to be the contrarian, he almost ALWAYS says something ******. kinda like the guy this saturday who had paulie up after the 4th round

          I used to always agree with him (not on Barrera-Hamed though), but lately not at all. It seems like he's always making shutouts closer than they should be really. I remember he had Rahman-Tua II very close. The worst thing Lederman does is when he realizes he screwed up one round by giving it to one guy, fighter A, that definitely lost it and gives a round fighter A won to fighter B to make up for it.

            I couldn't agree more on that one. He had Jirov winning it going into the 12th I'm pretty sure, which is ****ed up. Imagine his surprise when all three judges, like myself, had Toney winning by 4 or 5 points. He was a dumbass that night.

                Kinda hard to be accurate w/ opinion...

                Most of the time Lederman and my card are almost identical...He has one or two fights where I question his scoring, but for the most part he's one of the best in the sport at calling it as it is...

                and I love Merchant...He calls it how he sees it...nothing better then a prick of an analyst that actually tells it how it is...He says a lot of the **** we think...
