How did you score donaire-rigondeaux?

[PulpFriction]

How did the one judge have it 114-113??? I saw Donaire winning 1, maybe 2 rounds but that's it he was completely lost in the ring you could see it and rigo landed more punches clearly in every single round except for the 10th.

I had it 117-110 for Rigo. Clean victory for the Cuban.

i can see how it's possible. if you check my scorecard on page 6, IMHO there were 4 rounds (2,3,7,8) that were so actionless a judge could have gone either way. However when rounds like this accumulate, i tend to alternate who i give the rounds to. hence my 116-111 scorecard for rigo.

EDIT: the problem with a judge giving all 4 rounds to donaire is that it makes it seem like the fight was much closer than it actually was. when rigo won a round (which was most rounds) he pretty much dominated. except for the KD round, if donaire won a round, it was just barely.

I was at the fight. I thought Donaire won 2 rounds at the time. I just re-watched the HBO broadcast. I'm confident in saying that Rigo won every round but the 10th, the knockdown round. That was possibly the most convincing one-sided victory over a P4P champion I've ever seen.

118-108 Rigo

I gave Rigo a 10-8 round in round 12 because donaire was a 1 handed fighter 15 seconds into round 12 and donaire only landed 7 punches in that round while Rigo landed about 19 or 20 in round 12.

This gets an award for boxing clinic of the year.

I had it closer than some people at 115-112.

I gave Donaire the 2nd, a couple of middle rounds when Rigo wasn't doing anything, and of course the 10-8 round.

Rigo won the last two rounds and so clearly won the fight.

Exactly the same as you, mate.

I had it 115-112 Rigondeaux, although I thought Rigo evidently won the fight.

Rigo controlled the tempo of the fight from start to finish, more or less, but his running and reluctance to throw in the mid to late rounds, added to the fact that Donaire was putting on decent pressure and looked like he was trying to make something happen more than Rigondeaux, made sure that he lost rounds that he could easily have won, had he thrown punches and engaged in a fight. It's one thing to control the momentum of the fight with your speed and movement, but if you don't actually throw punches to make the most of owning the ring then you can't win rounds.

The judges scored the fight correctly, IMO.

Round 10 if not for the KD, would've been a Rigo round

[paulf]

11 rounds to Rigondeaux.

And tbf, the knockdown round could easily be a 9-9. After Rigo got up he beat that ass.

Just a really, really one sided affair.

Agreed. I was watching the fight with my dad and I told him that it could've easily been a 9-9 round because other than the KD Rigo continued dominating Donaire.

[DosRounds]

watched it again and only gave Doanire the 10th but still was a close round
