The purpose of Round-by-Round

The reason we do round-by-rounds is to let people know what is happening in the fight in a factual manner eg "Round 4 (insert commentary/ big events in the round)" and then you list who won the round and then the up to date score eg "Round 4: 10-9 for ____ & total score 40-36 for ____".

So for me and for anyone else who tries to check on how a fight is going from their blackberry/iphone/etc while they are out at a bar or simply away from the computer PLEASE post the scoring and don't flood the thread with opinions about how fucking lazy Kevin Johnson is or how boring the fight is, I really don't give a shit about that I want to check the God damn scores not the opinions of posters that are readily available on other threads, but whatever you do just for fuck's sake post the God damned scores you lousy cocksuckers!

....thanks for letting me rant but holy hell that was frustrating

I used to do it Lyle but its too late for me now, because i have to get up early for my baby. So staying up until 2am doing RBR's isn't an option now bro.

I see what you're saying Lyle and with the advent of the chat room, I see no reason that we can't have a rbr thread and have all the reaction posts in the chat. That being said if noone is willing to do a rbr, what can you do?

I've done a few rbr's recently I don't really know if they we any good (by that I mean understandable), but I'm willing to do more in the future. Have you done any rbrs Lyle?

I have nothing against people sharing their views and opinions but you HAVE to give results and not just say as Greig pointed out "That was fast".....What was fast? The knockout, the 10 count, the piss you took between rounds??!?!?!?! It's horribly frustrating

I have attempted to do rbr's in the past. I may have started a few threads but most of the time Wacko would just take over or I would get frozen out by the hoards of people that swamped the site.

Well I just reached another milestone 26K posts...I need to get a life ;)

Surely you don't need a round by round for Vitali Klitschko vs another guy who's quite clearly not got a chance of winning. :p

Round 1: Jab by Vitali, Jab by Vitali. Right hand by Vitali. End of round 10 - 9.

x12

...all I want is AT LEAST "Round X: 10-9/Fight: ____-___" just score the fucking rounds, if Vitali's pitching a shutout then fine it should be easier 10-9 Vitali/ 12 rounds to 0 Vitali

Yeah they can get tricky. I will some pretty detailed round by rounds sometimes and usually around 3rd-4th round the site starts freezing up. Congrats on the 26k. 50% Klitschko, 49% Obama, 1 % Cloud. Am I close? :D

I think the spread is more like 30% Klitschko, 25% Global Warming, 25% Obama, 20% Miscellaneous
