I'm watching Michael Nunn vs John Scully for the 1st time.

[!! Shawn]

I had it 115-113 for Scully. The scores were ridiculous.

That really is a biased score. Scully is a cool dude, and I talk to him on occasion, but that fight wasn't even close. Yes he was hitting Nunn with big shots about 5 times a round, but they didn't even make Nunn bat an eye.

This fight was basically a sparring session for Nunn. He was clowning around the whole fight doing stuff you usually only see fighters do in sparring.

Nunn was in complete control of that action from the start to the end of each round. When he wanted too he backed Scully up and kept him in his shell. When he wanted to would stand with his hands at his waist and his head up against scully letting him hit him.

John fought like a puncher, but hes not. He threw one punch at a time trying to knock Nunn out, but even when he connected with his best shots flush on the chin, Nunn didn't bat an eye.

Scully would have done better for himself to throw more punches, and be less defensive.

If Scully was inflicting visible damage with those punches, he would have won the fight, but the cold hard truth is he wasn't.

Eff that. Scully got thoroughly schooled.

He had 1 or 2 rounds. At best.

I tend to agree with you. Nunn did what he wanted when he wanted. Why he chose to sit in there and get hit so often I am not sure, but what was blatantly obvious was that it was his choice to do so and not a result of anything Scully was doing.

Nunn in control, did he even land anything? Isn't boxing about landing? Scully was the aggressor and landed with accuracy, going to the head/ body and pinning Nunn against the ropes, Nunn would respond by throwing pitty pat punches and running in the later rounds. In no way was it an easy fight for either. Anyway, I'm very late in seeing this, PEACE!

As always we see things differently. I can see Nunn winning 115-113 or even 116-112 but no way did he win 11 or 12 rounds of the fight, it was a pretty close fight.

Nunn did get stunned by Scully with a right hook.

Nunn always gave the impression that he was in control, he was always clowning around, he did the same thing against Rochiggiani and ended up losing the fight, just because a fighter looks to be in control doesn't necessarily mean they really are in control.

A lot of Nunn's punches were pitty pat punches that landed on Scully's arms and gloves, Scully was the one landing the harder, more significant blows in the bout but granted, he didn't do it every round.

Nunn's flashiness won him this fight.

Again, I can see Nunn winning 115-113 or even 116-112, I have no problems with him winning but the scores were ridiculous.

I don't remember how I scored it, but I had Nunn winning. John did his best work in the middle rounds when he turned southpaw. I was always curious why he turned back to an orthodox stance when he was being so effective.

no who told you that?

As I said, I don't really have a problem with Nunn winning, the problem I have is with the scores, they were way too wide.

I dunno, could ask him next time he comes on. You're right though.

But he did turn southpaw more times in this fight than I've ever seen him, he switched hitted occasionally but never turned southpaw as much as he did against Nunn.

I talked to him about it via e-mail maybe 5 or 6 years ago, but don't recall what he said. Truth is, its much easier to look back at whats working or to see it on tv than it is when its actually happening. Still, he did himself and New England proud that night.
