    "We have him (Williams) down on the cards"...
    Ok but do you honestly believe Peterson couldnt see his man getting tagged with the left or that it gave team Williams some sort of tactical advantage?

      Well, the judges obviously didn't see it...

      My point is, regardless if it mattered or not, HBO should not be sharing their analysis of the fight with the cornermen as it's going on....

        Broadcast scoring is not a secret to no one, we've seen it been mentioned by corners themselves many times.

          Ok i get your point but my point is he was just stating the obvious and no tactical advantage was gained.

            Doesnt mean it should be done. Everyone has their own view on the fight and announcing anything score related DURING a fight is ******.

            People think Peterson would have been desperate if Kellerman held the corrupt view of the judges and said "We have the score close in favor of Williams"????

            No. Peterson would not have said "PAUL WE NEED A KNOCKOUT TO WIN" if that was the case.

              I understand what you are saying, but what Im saying is the broadcast scoring is usually known by the corner. So how corners react to them is always a factor.

                I was thinking the same thing at first

                then I thought, well they see the same thing the corner and the fighter's team is seeing (along with the audience) and besides Roy, it's not like Bob Papa or Kellerman should know more about boxing than boxing trainers. I think they also did this to Manny Stewerd in the Haye-Klit fight.

                    Didn't see it as an issue but with you bringing it up makes me think about it...

                    The scorecard thing is a bit iffy...idk if I'd want them to tell the corner how they have it...


                    But anyone with 2 eyes saw Paul getting hit over and over again...Peterson didn't need Kellerman to tell him...

                    Williams and crew's strategy is just idiotic...there obviously delusional if they think Martinez landed a lucky shot...when he landed the same shot right before that brutal KO...

                      Dense?

                      No one needs to know the scores of anything until the last bell has rung.
                      Peterson should have already known the real scores that Lara was winning. Could he not see how many lefts Williams ate? He shouldn't need Max Kellerman to tell him his fighters obviously losing unless Peterson is blind.
