Did anyone score Tarver-Johnson?

[Nautilus]

One round advantage to Tarver. Great fight.

[Bozo_no no]

115-113 Tarver on my card.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

I felt it was even going into 11, which Johnson won, and Tarver win the last round. That makes a draw. I don't dispute the result but HBO did seem to be giving Tarver way too much props, he wasn't even moving Glen. Tarver may have won his rounds more clearly but Johnson won just as many I think. I'll score it again. Tarver threw a lot of pitty pats just like the last, but he just threw more of them.

I had it 7 ronds to 5 for Tarver.

Not sure that an "even" round can be scored? Maybe the IBO allows that?

Sorry, it was a cheap pun - geriatric.

It annoys me when he gives his final thoughts, i wouldnt mind listening to his honest opinion but he's reading the whole things!! Pre plannned speaches are bull****, the only place for them in a long political speach.

even rounds are allowed by all sanctioning bodies and all state commissions....but they SHOULDN'T be allowed, remember that English **** scoring Lewis-Holyfield 1 as 115-115? He had 2 EVEN ROUNDS! What a crock, there's no such thing as an even round, you're either better than your opponent or worse, which of course is subjective to the judges opinion, but there should never be rounds scored 10-10 for any reason....

anyhow, 115-113 Tarver is what I had, round 12 was the clincher (same thing with Quartey over Phillips, round 10 was the decisive round)

NEVER an even round in any case?

I wish I could think of a classic example off the top of my head right now but I can't.

I will agree that it shows indecisiveness, but what if two opponents were jabbing each other 1-to-1 non stop for three minutes, neither backing up, neither hurt, a mirror of each other?

Old whatisface (other commentator) looks faintly embarrassed to see the old ****er rambling on, doesn't he? It's like indulging an anecdote about the war from a senile uncle who's always pissing in his own pants.

you just proved my point, if a seasoned boxing fan can't even come up with 1 round from 1 fight that they considered "even" off the top of their head, obviously they should not be utilized

I thought even rounds went 9-9.
