wTF? why was he trying to be like Floyd in there and hold a lot and run the final clock thinking he had the fight in the bag with his big grin, everyone knows this is amateur boxing where punch out put is the main decider, that Cuban was just throwing sloppy punches and won off activity.
I dont get why he was trying to copy Floyd and show off his shoulder roll defense, and than tie up.
Shakur screwed up in a fight he could have won easy he was smiling acting ****y and even thinking he won you could see him grinning like he could just play the clock out and win ala Mayweather fights.
I think the meeting with Floyd ruined him, he idolizes Floyd and tried to pay homage to him not realizing this is not pro style, this is Ammy style you cant win with that and the clinching.
I already knew the Cuban would take it after the third round.
Too early to mess around with TMT.

Originally posted by ultravividscene View PostWho cares if he landed or not - although i thought he did - if you rely on judges to score then all that matters is making the judges think you are landing.
It's like that old excuse of 'but i was landing the harder shots doe!' - means **** if the judges can't feel them, the shots are not hurting, damaging or stopping your opponent, and they outland* you by a significant margin.
* Or in some cases just out throw - for reasons mentioned earlier.
Basically Stevenson knew and admitted he lost and was probably better placed than an armchair fan to tell.

Originally posted by hitking View PostI'm not an amateur boxing fan. I score fights on clean punching, effective aggression, ring generalship, and defense. In that order. Shakur landed the cleaner punches. Ramirez's aggression was mostly ineffective. Neiter one of them dictated anything. Which probably isn't uncommon in 3rd fights. And Shakur's defense was worlds better. I know amateur scoring is different. But as a long time fight fan, I thought Shakur clearly won.
Shakur knew and admitted he lost a close fight. But of course, you, a person who doesn't like the sport, and doesn't know the rules, knows better than he does. Of course.
