Comments Thread For: Judging The Judges: Valdez-Lopez Scoring Analysis

[DeeMoney]

Chingao�� pues,,,,, that sucks, that young man has a jab that should count for something in judging,,,,

Jabs only count for certain fighters around this website...or more accurately don't count against certain fighters.

I hope a "Judging the Judges" column becomes a regular feature on BoxingScene.

But I bet promoters would exert pressure for it not to become a regular feature.

Dave Moretti looks suspect based on that scorecard.

I always wanted someone to go real in depth in breaking down judges by reviewing the film and breaking down the action in a way similar to compubox (but more accurate). Heck you could even mark how often a fighter is coming forward in the round, as opposed to going backwards.

Then cross referencing that data to how individual judges scored a round. It would be interesting to learn which judges favor aggression, which ignore body shots, etc.

This then can later be used to see when a judge deviates from his standard judging in a 'questionable' fashion. Of course, like you noted, the powers that be would not like this.

At time of stoppage well count round 7 the knock down and he would be down on two cards if count 10 to 8 round

you did leave out that Lopez had to jump up a full weight class on 24 hrs notice. He was up against it way more than Valdez was. I've seen fighters take yrs to move up a weight class.... He did it on a day's notice and then got screwed by an overly eager ref.

let’s be honest 126 to 130 is not a huge jump

I only had Valdez winning round 1
