Thread: RBR Bell vs Mormeck 2

Exactly.

The drama in boxing is not knowing for sure where you are on the cards . Keeps both fighters in the mindset of maintaining good solid production (work rate) regardless of what they and their corners may think. , the thought of a clumsy judge keeps you looking for offensive opportunities thru the course of a match , when a fighter knows that he is way up in the match by telling him the total on the cards , especially in close rounds , rounds in which he would not have otherwise known he won. allows him to simply skate thru the last part of a match taking the determinationout of the combatant and , leaving the other guy plain frustrated. also leaving the crowd with a potentially boring match for the last few rounds. . Surviving is too easy in boxing , when it’s your only goal.

Trust me , that match would have ended in a knockout had there not been open scoring. You can bank on that !

I really don't follow this. Surely having Bell (the KO puncher of the two) know that he absolutely needed a KO (or at least 2 knockdowns) in the last 4 rounds to win the fight made a KO far more likely than it otherwise would have been. The problem was that with the heat, Bell had no energy whatsoever (to go along with his utter lack of speed).

Well I see the problem being that Mormeck knew for sure he was up and turned and ran thereafter . rather then stay and fight like he did before he knew the results . . , I don't like it.. It was still a great match don't get me wrong ! It just could have been better , that’s all I am saying. those early rounds were Mormeck rounds, but they were bother infighting and making a live go at it. even though it would appeared that Mormeck was up on the cards , he and his corner did not know 100% for sure until theywere told so . For me I like the suspense of not knowing until the end of a match who won the fight . I like that better from a fighter point of view as well as a spectator No open scoring keeps the offense going from both combatants until the final bell.

as for the part about Bell needing a knockout to win, you right, but he didn’t have anyone to knockout cause Mormeck would turn and run away.. that my point.. Mormeck went into survival mode. and when a fighter goes into survival mode its very hard to knock them out, ask any fighter this and they we tell you.. It's because they take very little if any chances, they just stay in a shell and work defense. you need a guy to open up and take some chances in order to knock them out. can't blame Mormeck, I am a huge fan. but the system in play sucks
