The purpose of Round-by-Round

[El Kabong]

I noticed recently (last night as a matter of fact) that many of our distinguished posters have somehow strayed from the idea of the round-by-round using the concept to comment on the excitement of a fight or the effort a fighter is putting out.

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

Lyle, the thread you're talking about specifically says that it is a "discussion" in the title, therefor people are going to discuss the fight and give their opinions on it in that thread. Nowhere does it claim to be a rbr. It's extremely helpful to have one thread where people can discuss a fight as its occurring and during the immediate aftermath and it helps keep the board uncluttered. If you don't like it then don't read it, but don't try to tell people they can't discuss a fight in a thread dedicated to discussing that fight.

Edit: It's also fairly easy to find a round by round by doing a google search if you can't find one here. I found one for the Klitschko fight in about 10 seconds.

I think they are important and a must,as far as blow by blow and round by round.Good point.Not knowing what is happening during a fight sucks in a big way.We do fairly well I believe but sometimes the adult beverages catch up and it gets random....or the fight just blows.Awesome job this weekend with the stickies being put up and a general gathering spot for people to keep track of things.Feel free to roll one out yourself btw hoss

I'm sorry if it was inconvinient for you, but if something happens out of the ordinary, I'm going to give a smart ass comment. I understand this is a boxing forum but if I was sitting around watching a fight with some people, I would be making the same comments. Isn't that what we're essentially trying to do with Round-by-Round? Discuss what we see/hear also?

If Malignaggi showboats for 30 seconds instead of going for a K/D, an announcer messes up, Lennox Lewis talks about his career for way too long on the air, Malignaggi trying to look cool by talking to the announcers mid-fight, etc. I'm going to make a comment.

Some people joke around with each other cause we're supposed to act like we're hanging out watching a fight. We're not professional analysts, or in a formal setting, there's no reason to keep the RBR strictly just the technical aspects of the fight.

I believe the ***SPOILER*** alert gives it the equivilent of RBR status...if you're going to have a spoiler alert you HAVE to give the result, how difficult is that

C-LO you have valid points and I don't care if people give their opinions as long as they are either preceeded or followed by the results. That was my whole beef with the thread that was blatantly and deliberately marked with a spoiler alert.

Greig...dude, I just want to know how the fight ends up when I can't watch it and I think our posters here at Saddo's are good enough and smart enough to just give me (and everyone else) some results after my many years of service to this forum.

I wasn't the one who put the spoiler alert in the title, but that is in no way indicative of a rbr. I assume it was there because people were discussing a fight which had already taken place but had not yet been shown on American television.

Again, if the information you are looking for isn't here, it's not hard to do a quick search to find it. I found a rbr of the Klitschko fight in literally a couple of seconds.

You can't tell people how to discuss a fight or give them shit for talking about a fight in a thread dedicated to doing so, that's absurd.

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.

[killersheep]

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?

[El Kabong]

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

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?

[El Kabong]

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

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.

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