What people with low boxing iqs say....

[Boxer4life]

and tends to piss me off


That a guy won the fight just because he did better then expected, that being the only factor, they don't consider who was the aggressor, who landed cleaner punches, him staying on his feet and fighting back tends to be enough

Or "he won,just look at his face, and look at the others guys face"....different people have different facial structure, and sure the other guy might hit harder, doesnt mean he won.

and i like this one " he deserved to win" wtf does that even mean? he should get a gift decision because he had a hard life and you dont like the other guy?

Now in no way am i talking about last nights fight, i think lamont wins with the 2 point deductions(fair or not they happened). I do think there should be some kinda rule against taking points in the 12tTH ROUND!! either way i wouldn't complain whichever way the fight went both guys showed me something i liked and didnt like but thats beyond the point.


You guys get anything else you hate to hear casual fans say?

I think you need to go into more detail with that, you make it seem like it should be an anything goes street fight in the last round.

The most retarded thing to me is when people say; "You have to take the title from the champion (with aggression) to win the fight."

this is another ridiculous one, where did come from, and haha i see what you mean but no, i mean the ref should'nt be so quick to do it, you know scare the guy up a bit, tell him you will dq him or something but dont take a point, especially not in SUCH a close fight

[captainanddew]

it is rather rare for there to be a points deduction in the final round of a fight unless the action is relatively heinous.

Like mentioned above beating the champion is one I don't like because it sort of implies that close rounds should go to the champion just because he's champion.

I dunno, I have a low boxing IQ and I don't say any of this stuff.

Technically though, if a fight ends in a DRAW, the title remains with the defending champion. So the basic implication here is that the challenger has to at least win by split decision, in order to take the title away. It doesn't mean he has to be reckless, or that he has to win unanimously. It just means he has to win.... period. In the last round or rounds of a close fight, a challenger should do everything in his power to make sure the fight is not perceived as a draw.

well but as we saw first hand a bunch of the Pacquiao fans were crying how all close rounds in a close fight should go to the champion basically by default, IMO it should be viewed as any other fight without a biased view the only difference is it's 12 rounds instead of 10, the titleholder shouldn't get the advantage of getting the edge in close rounds just cause he owns a strap

Anybody that actually thinks this way is basically clueless. And yeah.... rounds are rounds and should be judged without thinking about who's the champion and who's the challenger. But speaking about the fight as a whole, I do think the challenger has a little bit of an extra burden to take the title from a defending champion..... for the reasons I posted above. Because a champion can retain his title with a draw. A challenger has to WIN to take the title.

I hate when people say "he ran the whole fight." first of all they are in a ring so there is no where to run. It's called footwork and cutting off the ring. If you dont know about it then what the hell you doing watching a boxing match. That's one of the main things in the sport it's not about "hitting" it's about "hitting and not getting hit back."
