Comments Thread For: Lamont Roach Jnr overcomes knockdown, settles for draw with Pitbull Cruz

[lilacp]

Roach didn't shiat to Pitbull. Pitbull messed himself out for that point deducted, nothing that Roach did. Looking at the match Roach was more damaged than Pitbull. No way did Roach "BEAT" Pitbull. Just look at the end of the match and see their body language. Pitbull Landed the more damaging punches.

Do you know anything about scoring a fight? It's done round by round, and it has nothing to do at "analyzing" body language or who's more "damaged."

It was a good competitive fight that included a kd , one point deduction and back n forth action, wont argue with a draw but they need to run it back in 2026 for sure.

Draw seemed fair but if I absolutely had to choose one or the other, 114-112 Cruz.

Roach beat Tank and Tank beat Cruz, so there's that anyway.

That was a close fight and could've gone either way.

I judge Pitbulm beat up Lamont. Pit pat punches mean nothing. It's not the Amateurs

[boxingitis]

so tell me what of the judging criterias exactly was in favor of Pitbull was it the cleanlanded punches or his effective aggression or his amazing ring general ship or maybe is exceptional defense?

Let me help you out Pitbull did not have one of these judging criterias in his favor for the whole fight. The only round Pitbull clearly won was the one with the knockdown. The first half was kind of competitive but even in the first 6 rounds Roach landed cleaner was more effective with his offense controlled the action and had way better defense. The second half was just one way traffic Pitbull noticed he couldnt bully roach on the inside and got frustrated. So what did he do he tried to box Roach a couple of rounds and all of these rounds he lost since he can't box at all.

Pitbull only dominated at clinching, low blows, leading with his head and shoulder bumbs while clinching. This was not hard to score and every statistic backs that up. Roach landed more punches in 9 out of 12 rounds. Roach also landed more Power Punches and he completely controlled the action. He was also more effective percentage wise in 11 out of 12 rounds.

Roach was at least 2 levels above Pitbull in every department he fought Pitbulls fight and turned Pitbull into a wannabe boxer but again Pitbull can't box.

When was Pitbull hurt or Drop? Roach kept eating left hooks. Just cause the land pit punches mean nothing. Leave that for the amateur scoring.
