Comments Thread For: Judging The Judges: Pascal-Jack Scorecard Analysis

[PBR Streetgang]

Watching it on TV, I thought Jack had done enough for a 7-5 rounds decision (with both getting a 10-8 for their KD). Pascal would flurry in the last 10-20 seconds of close rounds that may have stolen a few.

The fact that Pascal has done well in close fights and Jack hasn't is telling. It's not like Pascal has some heavy promotion behind him and Jack does have TMT whatever that is worth. I think some fighters have a style that resonates more with judges at ringside as opposed to those watching on TV. Other fighters seem to have the opposite.

Maybe the judges don't see or appreciate the body punching, maybe Pascal's wild, looping haymakers are more eye catching but whatever it is, I suspect it's not anything corrupt.

Wouldn't have been mad with either guy winning. Still haven't watched it again, but I gave it to Pascal on first watch.

Why don't YOU look at it again? twice in slow motion:

No why don't YOU look at it again... but stop by Lenscrafters* before. Pascal was seriously hurt, no doubt, but he swings wildly and looses his balance. Thus should not have been ruled a KD.
