end of round flurries? Overrated, over pointed

[FeFist]

Boxing is a sport. Winning rounds is part of the game. If a round is even, try and steal it at the end.

Jacobs did this a lot during the GGG fight, calzaghe did this a lot through out his career, as did floyd.

The idea of making up for 80% of the round via the utilization of crowd pleasing flurries. These flurries are usually combinations which get the crowd going due to a lackluster fight.

I wouldn't be fooled if I was a judge, but why do judges reward this type of tactic so often? A flurry should never make up for being out boxed over an extended period of time. It just doesn't make any sense. Does the crowd influence this?

As people have already said in here, it really depends on what transpired beforehand in that round. if it was an even round and one guy throws a shoeshine, and lands some punches, I might give it to him. If he was getting outboxed for 2:30 and catching stiff jabs that were snapping his head back and then all of the sudden throws some arm punches to try and steal the round, I will give it to the guy who put in the more meaningful work in the round.

i dont remember floyd doing that. oscar did that chit all the time though, as soon as he heard the 10 second bell, it was the arm punch flurry of hell

Oscar was a master at it, so was B-Hop.

There is def a dumb bias to it. If let's say it's an even round and a fighter flurries in the last ten seconds, that fighter wins the round. Let's say in the first 10 seconds of the round a fighter flurries, then it becomes even the rest of the round. We would consider it an even round. Even tho both situations the fighter flurries.

Exactly. These flurries are never clean punches either. Degale also used them VERY wisely against Baau Jack, making round appear closer than they really were.

when has Floyd ever done that?
