Comments Thread For: Vanes Survives Gut Check, And Knockdown: Tops Ouma

[theplayerpimp]

Naw that was a bull decision i had ouma winning a close but clear decision he was landing more punches and was blocking and dodging most of vanes hits. Plus the knock down should of been enough but clearly bob must of had a hand in the decision with so wide scores in favor of vanes.

Horrible judging. I feel bad for Ouma.

[Roger Mellie]

The judges definitely had it too wide. But although he missed a lot, Vanes was landing the cleaner, more effective punches in most rounds and so he deserved to win. I scored it 95-94 for Vanes.

Ouma had a big advantage in experience, having fought far better opposition than Vanes, and that showed during the fight. But Ouma seemed hurt and very tired in the last 30 seconds of the 10th, I think if it had been a 12 round fight, Kassim would have been stopped.

This fight gives Vanes valuable experience he's going to need at the highest level.

What a surprise! Tunney goes for the Armenian over the African,even though anyone with working eyes knew that Ouma won? and you scored it 115-114 You didnt watch it did you? it was a ten round fight.

I know man,he is f.ucking pathetic.

[MELLY-MEL...]

ouma won, and was screwed over by the judges. close fight without a kd, but with a kd ouma won clear. vanes punches were into ouma's gloves, and not effective. **** decision.

How the hell did you score it 115-114 if it was only a ten round fight??

Lmao, Am sure he didnt actually watch the fight.

Saw the fight live, scored it one rd victory for Ouma or draw worst case....another great start to the boxing year with some crap judging. Money makes the world go round, not performance in the ring!!!

You know though, if you score a KD in boxing you give it a 10-8 round. Unless you are completely dominated and out on your feet, you have to score it a 10-8 round for whoever scored the KD.

That round was close either way without the KD though. With a KD, it's an immediate 10-8 round. Unless the the rules are different in that fight.

I don't know man. That was really bad.

I agree with you. I scored the round 10-8, which proved to be the margin of victory for Ouma. But Vanes did otherwise win the round; I didn't think it was very close, but also not to the point where Vanes dominated.

I scored round two of Moorer-Holyfield I, 10-9 for Holy because Moorer was easily winning the round until he got knocked down by a single punch. Anytime there's a knockdown in a fight, it's this very round I use as the standard to determine whether or not a fighter does enough to fight back from a 10-8 defecit.

Round 9 of Vanes-Ouma wasn't on that level, and that two judges refused to give Ouma credit tells me their minds were made up the momnet they were assigned to the fight. It was almost as if they begrudgingly gave him the round, merely because they had to.

Fell asleep right before it came on.
The articles i've read make it sound like Vanes dominated until round six.
