Comments Thread For: When it comes to scoring fights, it's best to believe the media

Lol..people actually on here backing Horn's win..smh..with today's fan and judging Connor has a really good shot at beating Mayweather..All Connor has to do is come forward throwing punches at air, head butt mayweather until both side of his head is bleeding all the while eating punches in the face all night..should be a easy win...

Lol. I bet this guy really thought this was a bright idea when he wrote the article. His idea is to make an even more corrupt system of judging as the solution the current one. Only in the boxing community would this subpar system of logic be tolerated

if the boxing media wants to score fights maybe they should apply to the various state commissions to be judges.

Boxing is subjective. One mans effective aggression is another mans evading. What we really need is competent sports analyst who bring more than there fighter bias and "not quite good enough for espn" personalities to tables.

If coming forward, holding, head butting and throwing elbows wins rounds, you gotta give Jeff Horn more rounds. If landing clean punches wins rounds, Pac clearly won the fight. There a lot of Pac haters who were so happy with the result and defend it no matter what. I tend to trust the fact that about 85% of people did not think Horn won the fight. About 80% thought Pac won and about another 5% thought it was a draw. There are so many fighters and trainers who have no reason to side with Pac that thought he clearly won the fight. The small minority that thought won Horn won are far more ignorant than fighters and trainers. The loss doesn't even matter for Pac because the perception by the vast majority of people is that he won anyway. He will come back later this year and be more prepared for Horns dirty tactics and will probably stop him like he was so close to doing in the 9th. The reality is that if Pac got the decision there would have been absolutely no controversy.

I'll score all fights from home

I believe I'm the best scorer in the world

90% of the media and all these so-called experts on HBO do not have the ability to know what to look for especially when I punch either misses is blocked or is it even not thrown the other things that take into consideration a good game is often spoken by them but to really be a competent score no way you can convince me the media's any good but there's plenty of bad judges out there ... we can start with Nevada then go to California and work from there...

Most media people are fanboys themselves, some have even admitted that they can't score fights (Lederman), some are notorious for misreading the action (Lampley).

I wouldn't trust the Dan Raphaels of this world to judge fights. I personally don't respect their opinion more than the average boxing man on the street.

Lmao okay ******, all those professional boxers and trainers are all Pacquiao fans, sure they are, meanwhile your b*tch ass ain't put on a pair of boxing gloves in your entire life and the closest you've ever been to an actual boxing gym is when you saw one for the first time on an episode of 24/7

those motherf**kers live and breathe the sport of boxing, your foundation of boxing knowledge is recording something Paulie said on a Showtime telecast on your iPhone and playing it again and then typing it here on b-scene

YDKSAB b*tch

Manny got owned in that fight. Deal with it you cousin ***ing autistic ******.
