If boxing is about doing damage, Clottey should've won the Pacquaio fight?

[Visceral]

Pac beating Clottey's face in with his own gloves combined with body shots did more damage than Clottey landing a few clean shots. Simple. You can't just look at faces at the end, you have to watch the fight.

As usual you started your daily incredibly ****** thread. Keep up the bad work.

Why ppl don't give Cotto credit for fighting with one eye for 9 rds? They say Lucas would have beat Danny had his eye not gotten closed up. Not fair bro!

Bc Cotto got the win, how were people suppose to say "he would have beat him?" He did beat him. If he would have lost the fight, I'm sure fans would say the same thing about him. Also Cotto's eye was cut, not shut.

What i remember most about Pac vs Clottey were the circumstances leading up to the fight and those after, which made me lost respect for Clottey. He needs to disappear. Even his country men that i spoke to lost respect for him. There is no price on dignity. None!

Whether it's considered or not is another question.

It's not a scoring criteria.

The scoring criteria as I'm sure you know are; Clean Punching, Ring Generalship, Affective Aggression and Defense.

ok, whatever you say................ Rockin'

How much damage you do isn't scored by how bruised your opponent's face looks...

One bad punch can cause a massive bruise, and some guys just bruise easier than others.

If you're scoring "damage" what you mean is you're giving priority to flush shots over love taps, not literally scoring which guy's face is purplest.

Well guess what, it's not about doing damage and it never will be. It's about landing the most punches and the best punches. .

the best punch.... as in the one that does the most damage?

You're probably correct though. Knowing as many ex-fighters that I do certainly backs up your assumption that boxing is, never has and never will be, about damage..................Rockin'

and as rockin put it

simple stuff it should be

you'd think we'd all know this and it would by now be common sense to "boxing" fans

agreed............. a lot of bruising/swelling/cuts are caused by head butts any way........... Rockin'
