Thread: Fights you viewed differently after re-watching

Been awhile since I watched DLH vs Quartey- when it occurred most felt DLH got a GR8 gift, I kinda did as well. I think I scored it like 7-5 for Ike and was leaning 8-4.


Watched it yesterday.

This time I didn't have it 2-1 going to the 3rd with Harold Lederman. I had it 3-0 for DLH who was the aggressor, threw more, while Ike did have some single shots that impacted DLH, I couldn't see giving Ike those rounds simply because his D was tight as hell and landed single shots.

Mid rounds Ike did come on, but I think with the 12th round DLH won the fight. -and if there ever was a case for a 10-8 round due to overwhelming dominance without a knockdown, this final round is a great example.

Not sure what was different with me- but watching it again.....DLH won the fight without controversy.

Mayweather Alverez.

Honestly I went back and watched the fight and was surprised how differently it looked.

In what respect? How did you think it looked 2nd time round? I ask because I watched this once, but I was in another country with no commentary, and I thought Floyd won every round. Should I be watching it again?

Jack Sharkey vs. Primo Carnera 'II'

Primo really nailed the Champion with a 'tremendous' right-uppercut in Round 6.

ive watched it once and floyd won but he definately didnt win every round, there were rounds he didnt throw enough punches

i was drunk when i watched froch kessler 1 the first time, i saw kessler coming forward more and thought he deserved it overall

the next day i saw that there were people who suggested it was a home town decision so i watched it again and i thought froch won, in fact at about round 6 it looked like kessler was done

Firstly, I would say that the first score that you come up with is really the only score that matters but you can watch a fight and completely misinterpret the context of the fight.

First time around, I saw Canelo retreating and looking confused, second time around, I saw Canelo doing a mediocre job of not falling for Mayweather's traps. Also there were many occasions where Mayweather was being hit but showed great composure - where first time around I didn't even acknowledged that he'd been caught. In this view I can understand how he could have been given a draw.

Honestly though, I think someone else on here said it was close and thought it was ridiculous until I watched it again.

Everytime I see Lewis/Mercer and Holyfield/Mercer, I give Mercer an extra round every time I see both fights. lolol....

LOL okay bud. Thanks for contributing.

Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali 'II'

Who can honestly deny that Smokin' Joe had Muhammad in a real 'bad way' in the
12th Round.

Muhammad was in bad-shape just before the Bell sounded. Had this been a 15-Round
bout, Smokin' Joe would have undoubtedly stopped Muhammad in the 13th Round.

Forget about the 'clutching, grabbing, holding', as well all know they were illegal fouls.

LOL, I concur. I think I was biased for both guys, yet Mercer keeps changing my dvd. Can't be me changing my mind!!

Ah, liquid vision.
Watching a fIght with allot of people can also alter my Fight judging skills.
My family is so biased for Ali, then when I watch Ali Frazier alone, different story.

Muhammad Ali vs. Alfredo Evangelista

There were some Boxing Announcers who were calling Alfredo Evangelista as a
better fighter than Earnie Shavers, who was supposed to fighting Muhammad Ali.

Yes, they actually said that.

95% of the non mexican World thinks Alvarez won at the absolute most 2 rounds and most think less than 2. You will find more people that think he won 0 rounds than people that think it was a draw. So anyone saying it was a draw or can even be argued is being ridiculous. The fight wasn't remotely close or debatable. But i guess after May 2nd any ridiculous claim can be made. I'll go watch Floyd smack Alvarez around again now and try desperately to find 3 rounds for Alvarez in the honor of proposterous draw claims.
