Comments Thread For: Tomoki Kameda Stunned By McDonnell Rematch Scoring

[NEETzsche]

**** the commentary, just watch the fight. Kameda was landing the higher number of clean, effective punches.

no he wasn't. he was landing a higher percentage, but not a higher total. clearly you missed all of the straight rights that mcdonnell sneaked in behind his flicking jab, especially during exchanges. kameda's punches had more snap on them, but he was landing only maybe one burst per round, whereas mcdonnell was continually peppering him with shots the entire three minutes. most weren't clean, but there were still many that were. there's a reason that kameda had to go on the run and clinch constantly; he couldn't handle the pressure and workrate. he was reduced to trying to steal the fight

I had Jamie aat 8-4 roubds...so many of kameda's ****s block or fell dhort & he has no real power....The 117-110 was way too generous...The broadcast team totally ******...

I'm genuinely wondering if I watched the wrong fight now. McDonnell was missing all these jabs people are giving him credit for and his aggression was mostly ineffective. How in the world are people saying he clearly won?

And I like how it's, "Well clearly the Americans were biased" yet they don't think to consider that their commentary having McDonnell up 11-1 was biased.

I think you and I saw the same thing. Malignaggi did too.

I had no preference for either guy going in so there's no favoritism on my part, just scoring it how it came across. Might watch it again to make sure but to my eyes McDonnell got outboxed most of the rounds.

I thought the right guy got the win.

I was watching the fight on Sky, who were using an American feed with American commentary. These guys had it wide for McDonnell. I disagreed with how wide they had it.

While the fight was happening, i was using Twitter to check scoring elsewhere. I noticed PBC and Dan Rafael's scoring it wide for Kameda, and disagreed with that also.

I thought it was a '7-5' (plus the KD) kind of fight in favour of McDonnell.

Just finished the fight. I scored it 115-112 to Mcdonnel.

Virtually impossible to get any consensus on scoring a fight like that. So many swing rounds that i dont even see the wide scores people seem to have as being that bad.

While Kameda was landing the cleaner harder shots, McD was controlling long portions of the fight. Kameda was mostly fighting in bursts, some rounds that was enough on my card, a lot of them it wasnt.

Close close fight with a hell of a lot of swing rounds

why dont u have red k across the board?
likely bc this place is full of idiots like you who think racism in boxing is helpin the sport...fool who think that hbo vs pbc is a war in which u need to pick a side...i clearly know all about you

Racism? What part were they racist towards, the fact that he was Japanese or the fact that he spoke Spanish?

[Ravens Fan]

In my opinion it was a close fight but it was also beyond obvious who the PBC fighter happened to be.

[Ray*]

It was a close fight no doubt, just like their first fight but the right person got the nod in the end, I have no favoritism towards either boxer but i thought the champ did enough to keep his belt.

To be honest even though I hate these racist pricks, the sport wouldn't be as entertaining without the race, region, culture and nationalistic element.
