Comments Thread For: Jamie McDonnell Earns Repeat Win Over Tomoki Kameda

[Dindu_Nuffin]

Everyone who justifies this with "he moved forward and was the aggressor" doesn't know how to score a fight. Aggression alone doesn't win rounds, and there is no way McDonnell won more than 5 or 6.

Ummm, if he won 6 rounds, he won the fight with the KD?

LULZ.

Peoples saying this was a robbery are blind, and DKSAB.

It was a close fight, and either guy could have got the nod. McDonnel superior work rate, and jab, combined with pressig the action, gave him the edge in the judges eyes.

Close, clear win IMO for McDonnel. But if Kameda got the nod, I'd accept it.


Those crying robbery are pathetc.

Not seen the fight yet, but following on Twitter was quality. Seemed like the Brits were all for McDonnell and the Americans were going for Kameda. Dan Rafael seemed to be getting some stick from UK boxers particularly.

Does anyone actually like Dan Rafael in the US? Just curious how the US view him? Slightly off topic so apologies...

The judges had him winning 8 and 9 rounds, which is ridiculous. 6 rounds is a stretch.

Their first fight was as close as the scores suggested and could have gone either way without anybody being entitled to scream robbery. This time, though, McDonnell got positive earlier in the fight and putting Kameda on the back foot from halfway through round two onwards was key imo. Kameda is a good fighter and had his moments but the Brit pressed the action, was busier and more productive and was a good winner. If pushed for a forecast beforehand I'd have gone for the Japanese guy because I fancied he'd be the one to go up a gear from last time, but I'd have been wrong. It was McDonnell who upped his performance.

This is all everyone is saying when giving reasons McDonnell won. "He was busier. He was aggressive."

So the **** what? Aggression means nothing when you're still eating the harder, cleaner punches and losing most exchanges.

No one like Dan lmao that I know of. He's just there

Kameda should be 2-0 against McDonnell in my opinion. He boxed very well in this fight and had the Brit looking clueless at times.

I honestly don't get what the judges saw this time around.

I honestly don't know how you can say this.

you must be blind of not paying attention to the fight at all.
