About Porter’s Scoring Tonight

[MulaKO]

Making a chit load out of a small mole
Bud won that fight and it wasn’t hard to see
Yes Madrimov made good of his strategy but boxing is scored round by round and can’t be more simple than that
Yes some rounds are harder to score than others but if your being subjective I’m sure you get the gist

That’s the thing about ring announcers, they allow their bias to speak for them like a forum poster. They need to hold themselves to a higher standard and be more professional, less emotional about what they’re seeing. Bradley, Porter, Ward are like this. They sound emotionally attached and like a certain fighter has to be winning, and they have to point out what a certain fighter is doing great. Because they feel like if they don’t, then no one else will give that fighter their credit because of their skin color or whatever.

But last night, Porter let his bias and emotions get the best of him, he couldn’t see anything Madrimov was doing, the success he was having. He was blind to it, and that was unprofessional and inaccurate.

Imagine this was on radio and you couldn’t watch boxing fights on TV yet. And you have a guy like Porter telling you that he’s whooping Madrimov, shutting him out, completely dominating him. When that’s not at all what happened. It was inaccurate and unprofessional of Porter. Ring announcers should be held to a higher standard than us regular fans. You should not be a troll while announcing professional boxing.

Fighters overrate the guy who beat them

it’s ego

no one wants to lose to someone who isn’t good

Whatever was going through his head, whatever the reason was, he was blind to what Madrimov was doing and he was clearly biased towards Crawford to the point where it was unprofessional and he was giving the viewers inaccurate information.

Porter has always been an embarrassment unless he is fighting, dresses horribly, talks utter nonsense, nothing new here.

Porter only have one thing in mind when one of the fighters is one of his previous opponent, himself.
He said similar things when Thurman vs Tszyu got made, but later canceled.
He was predicting the fight as if Tszyu would be fighting a young prime Thurman.
