Comments Thread For: Adamek-Cunningham II Scoring Controversy Clarified

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — If you were confused on multiple levels after Michael Buffer read the scores from the Tomasz Adamek-Steve Cunningham rematch Saturday, that wasn’t at all your fault.

After Buffer informed millions of viewers watching on NBC and the roughly 2,000 people who witnessed the fight live that judge Dave Greer (116-112) scored it for Adamek and Tom Miller (115-113) had it for Cunningham, he initially announced Debra Barnes scored the fight 115-115, which would’ve rendered their rematch a draw.

Yep. I get the same message.

surprised they assigned some1 like Barnes w/virtually no big fight experience except a few minor bouts the past few years...I had Steve winning 115-113...

I had Cunningham winning 115-113, but I don't see anyway Adamek wins unless you give him every single swing round. Cunningham controlled most of the fight with his jab.

[Larry the boss]

So basically they read Barnes had 3 different scorecards?

I questioned that move as well considering she's only judge in NJ and only a few quality fights. I noticed that she scored it 116-112 for Vargas when Winky schooled him and she also scored the Calderon-Verde fight, 115-113 for Calderon in a bout the Calderon clearly won.

this lousy judge, in the quiet words of larry merchant, ought to be pistol whipped.
