    How did everyone score Cloud-Johnson?

    That was a great fight and a razor-thin decision IMO. It reminded me of Berto-Collazo in that you had Johnson doing the relentless shoeshining thing and trying to steal rounds, whilst Cloud was throwing (but not always landing cleanly) the harder punches but in less volume.

    So I had it 115-113 Cloud, but I had to re-watch some of those rounds (particularly the fourth and tenth) and change my mind at times. It all came down to what I preferred - and that's such a subjective thing. I don't think a draw, or as much as 116-112 either way, would've been a bad call. Very, very close fight.

    Code:
    C || 10 | 9  | 9  | 10 | 10 | 9  | 9  | 10 | 9  | 10 | 10 | 10 || 115
    J || 9  | 10 | 10 | 9  | 9  | 10 | 10 | 9  | 10 | 9  | 9  | 9  || 113

    I had it a draw, my card was the similar to yours with an exception of the 12th round, I felt that Johnson's early work in that round and the fact that he visibly hurt Cloud and made him shy away of his own accord was enough to give the round to Glen.

      I had it 115-112, but will watch it again along with the Alexander fight, thought one of the rds that Johnson was hurt could have been scored 10-8, i think it was the 5th or 6th round. Johnson is a hell of a tough fighter and i give him credit, he may need to move up to cruiser as his walk in weight was 192. But he may think about retirement, many say he was robbed in the Sven Ottke fight, can't say as i never saw it.

        114-114 But I could see it 115-113 for either.

          Why 115-112????

            You can't score 10-8 just for Johnson being hurt. He did fight back, so there's nothing there.

              115-113 for Cloud. I gave the 12th to Cloud. I felt Johnson held too much and Cloud landed the better punches in that round.

                7 rounds to 5 Johnson.

                Although it was a lot closer than the main event.

                  I never, ever give 10-8 rounds just because a fighter is hurt. I don't care if they get pummelled for 3 minutes straight - if they stay on their feet, there's no KD and they lose a round 10-9.

                  But then again, I've got a weird way of scoring anyway. I'll give 9-8 rounds if there's a double KD.

                    I don't remember exactly which round, and I hate to do this, but I had one 10 10 round. My score was 115-114 to Cloud.
