Do you agree with me that round three was a 10:8 round for Peter?

[:Bobby:]

This is exactly the question I want answered by those that scoff at the notion that Toney was seriously hurt. Funny that almost anyone I talked to who was there live admitted Toney was very hurt and his knees knuckled with that punch. He held on to the rope because he was about to go down.

Toney is good at hiding when he's hurt but it's not impossible to tell if you look carefully. This was one of those moments.

Exactly my thoughts. Thank you.

Credit to Peter for landing that bomb to the side of Toney's head, and yes Toney was hurt by it, but c'mon...one punch gets you a 10-8 round?

If anything, what Peter did (or more precisely didn't do) after that punch, specifically not jumping on the opportunity to inflict more damage, would negate any suggestion of a 10-8 round.

[Xcel]

That's incorrect. There may be 10:8 rounds for other reasons like extreme dominance for instance.

or if a point is deducted etc. But none of those scenarios took place.

If you score that round 10-8 then you should've scored every round in the PBF-Gatti fight as a 10-8. Also, the round where Judah was hurt by Baldi, by that argument, should be 10-8. How about round 12 between Hatton and Collazo? The fact is, they weren't. They were normal 10-9 rounds.

A 10-8 round, a rarity if there is not a knock down, should only be given if one fighter either refuses to engage in the fight, or if he's so thuroughly dominated that it's a miracle he didn't go down.

Toney holds on to the ropes, not to keep himself up, but to rest. He's out of shape and if you watch any other fight you'll see him do the same thing when he's not hurt. Yes, it's illegal, but it shouldn't cost a point if the ref doesn't deem it so. Toney was very respondent, too, as he removed his hand the second the ref told him to. You can't do that if you're out on your feet.

Thanks for replying to my post.
Do you think Toney would not have gone down, had he not been on the ropes?

no he only had his hand extended. I dont think that would have prevented him from going down if he was seriously hurt. If peter could have landed 1 or 2 more of those big overhand rights Toney probably would have ate the canvas but peter let him get his wits back.

He was hurt, but Toney actually dodged most of the punches after that. Not even close to a 10-8 imo. If you want to give him a 10-8 in that round then you have to give Toney a 10-8 for round 6 in which he wobbled Peter with a left hook and landed some great body shots.

Exactly my thoughts. Thank you.

I believe that was round 5 not 3, anyway Toney was hurt for a few seconds and had Peter hurt a few minutes later in round 6th.

10-8 round is pure nonsense!

[King Koyle]

No!I don't think any round in that fight for either fighter warranted a 10-8 round.

[DiegoFuego]

So boxing has reached such a low point that irrational fans score 10-8 rounds without knockdowns now? Get over it, Peter fans. You're just reaching at this point because you were completely wrong about your predictions on this one, and Toney easily won the fight.
