Those damn scorecards yet again. Judges need to have consequences.

Yet again another set of scorecards that make no sense. The fight was a 9-3 or 8-4 at best if we want to be generous to Taylor. Then we got two judges scoring it 115-113 for Teo and that's close for a fight that was not at all. Teo won it by a wide margin.

Teo fcuked around and almost lost the fight while he was playing around

Yes I meant as in Taylor won 4 rounds if we're being generous.

Loma mentality - said he took 12th off cause he thought he won all ready

Teo - Teo would have thought he was up on points too, but didn't take it off and it saved him being robbed. If he took his foot of the gas and Taylor sc****d the 12th rd on Gray and Pasquales scorecard, the fight would have been called a draw. Crazy

But it didn't happen. Right man won. Round by round didn't reflect Lopez's overall dominance. But round by round is how it's scored.

Yes, the same bull.**** as Bivol -Canelo.

Judges have a tendency to mean regress.
For example, if Fighter A is dominating a fight and winning rounds; then does enough to win a subsequent round, but in less dominating fashion, they will give that round to Fighter B.

I think this happens for a couple of reasons. One is that Fighter A’s dominance has skewed the perspective. Fighter B’s relative success is seen as being greater than it is, because he is relatively better than previous rounds. This could have been Teo in some middle rounds.

Additionally, judges benefit from having a close scorecard. That way, if they are clearly wrong on who shouldve won, they can argue that at least they were close. Having a close to balanced scorecard make sense for job security of a judge.

There should be more oversite, and judges should be judging specific rounds in a vacuum, not as a part of whole.

Yeah pretty much.
