Comments Thread For: Analyzing the Danny Garcia-Lamont Peterson Scorecards

[ADP02]

If Garcia did nothing those first five rounds then Peterson wasn't even there, literally. It's like Garcia fought himself the first 6 rounds. Peterson literally was not there. Garcia won those rounds by default. Look at Peterson punch stats through 6-rounds, they are shameful and pitiful. Just because Peterson was dancing around and making Garcia miss, that doesn't mean he was boxing. He was making a ****ing fool out of himself for the first half of the fight.

I'm not saying that Garcia did nothing for 6 rounds ..... but for the first 3 rounds or so, Garcia did less than Peterson. All that I'm saying is that Garcia did NOT deserve to win 5 of 6 or all 6 rounds. That is what the judges scored it.

If you read my other post yesterday, I said that Peterson frustrated Garcia the first 3 or so rounds. Then in the middle rounds, Peterson moved but didn't throw enough punches. Only in the 2nd half of the fight did Peterson step on the gas and take it to Garcia.

I'm no Peterson fan. Just pointing to what I saw. It just bugs me when a judge can score it like that ......

I thought danny banked most of the early rds.. Peterson did nothing for 6 Rds..

I had Garcia up clearly 5-1 after 6. I literally wanted to go on a rant about how I never want to see Peterson again in my life after 6-rounds. That all changed of course, after the sixth round.

And FYI, I'm not known for being a fan of Garcia. I'm just calling it how I saw it.

lol .... looks like you saw things differently than I did. No problem. I will watch it again but what I remember is Peterson doing enough to win some of the early rounds and the commentators concurred .... then Farhed gave those scores that were similar to the judges and I said what?

[Outwest Exp 355]

FYI - My post was not about any particular round.

The point was, did you or anyone watching it think that Garcia won 5 of first 6 rounds? This is news to me.

and one judge gave all 6 rounds to Garcia!!!

My bad I miss read. I thought you said no way he won rounds 5 and 6.

I think the commentators were trying to save the fight (talking up Lamont) because it was a snoozer through six. However, it turned out to be a pretty good fight.

these are the kind of informative articles that'll have the haters scratch their heads and thinking that maybe it was actually closer than what their hater shades saw......i understand why some people might call it a draw but to call it a robbery when Peterson literally ran away from Swift and stayed out of range of even landing a jab throughout the first part of the fight is ridiculous, let's be honest every single Garcia victory, whether it's by a devastating KO or if it's a close call fight, makes people mad and bring up a million reasons to discredit Swift, it is what it is but seeing Peterson run and stay out of punching range for numerous rounds, not moments but entire rounds, was de****able

And looking at the Unofficial score card of Steve Farhood I noticed something.

He would give the rounds I clearly thought were Peterson's rounds to Danny and Peterson rounds I clearly thought were Danny's.

His score card was like almost trolling.

He was doing the opposite of what the commentators and alot of people were seeing.

I think the commentators were trying to save the fight (talking up Lamont) because it was a snoozer through six. However, it turned out to be a pretty good fight.

I've read quite a few comments like the poster above. The posts that I read said similar to what I said. That is, the difference between the commentators and the unofficial scoring. Especially the first time that they displayed the results (after about 3-4 rounds).

Indeed. It's as if someone begged Peterson to not get KO'd before the 7th round. "Yo Lamont, we got big bucks on you getting past 6 rounds... Make it happen son."

Farhoods scorecards are a whole other snafu. It's like he blacks out late in fights. He ****ed up the Quillin Lee score card. He ****ed up Mayweather Maidana 1 score card late in that fight. He has lapses.
