Fights you viewed differently after re-watching

[Dark Lord Al]

For me it is HAMED V M.A.B ,when I first saw the fight with all Hamed's ALLAH this ALLAH that ,he of course he was handed his ass by MAB at the time is was shocking and a little funny.
Now when I look at the fight from the intro's I find the outcome of each round and the conclusion fucking hilarious and satisfying .

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?

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.

Because it is ridiculous.

LOL okay bud. Thanks for contributing.

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.

It was me who scored it 7 - 5 to Floyd and I am not Mexican. I stand by it.

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.

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

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

I think if I watch both fights one more time I would have Mercer winning a shut-out UD. lolol...

Jesus Christ, Ron do yourself a favour - don't bother. You've got yourself all wound up because you've misunderstood my point. I'm not trying to make claims here. That would be daft. I could watch that fight again and see it a different way. I'm not going to though. The point has already been made. It can happen.

Just where is that World located.

I believe you have exposed yourself as a somewhat of 'a bigot'.

Adamak vs Briggs II.

1st time watching it fight II, I scored it 7-5 like the 1st fight.

Not as good as the first bout as Adamak just couldn't outslug him this time- bleeding profusely, he did boxed his way to the 12th.


judge: Mauro Di Fiore 113-113, Ray Hawkins 115-111, Ken Morita 114-112


Last two times I watched it- it was a draw. Couldn't give Adamak a 7th round.

First of all it was a good fight. A few rounds were close but it was not a close fight, in my opinion. Do any of you remember what Canelo said post fight? He said, "I couldn't find him." That means he couldn't run him down, he couldn't walk him down, he couldn't keep him on the ropes, and he couldn't keep him in a corner. When a good fighter like Canelo says something like that, you know that fighter was beat convincingly.

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.

Dude! That's Roseanne Barr, or maybe Rosie O'Donnell! LOL

[TitoFan]

I'm surprised Floyd-Canelo has gotten as much attention as it has in this particular thread. I personally couldn't say how I'd view it differently, because I'd rather watch paint dry than to watch Floyd totally shut out Canelo again. The hype was incredible.... the fight was piss poor. It brought out the fact that Canelo didn't belong in the ring with Floyd in the first place. The only other "hype vs. real fight" letdown was Floyd-Pac... and at least Pac was able to actually hit Floyd a few times during the fight.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

sooooo, are you saying you have surprised yourself then or...

[Beanflicker]

DLH/Whitaker. I watched it when I first started watching boxing and thought Oscar won it easy, because I got caught up in the commentators bias and Lampley's tendency to call Oscar's missed/blocked punches as landed punches. When I watched again years later when I knew more about boxing, I realized it was way closer, arguably a Whitaker win.

[Beanflicker]

It brought out the fact that Canelo didn't belong in the ring with Floyd in the first place.

Yeah but that says a lot about Floyd, doesn't it? That he could go up a weight class and dominate a guy who was #1 there and over 20lbs heavier than him on fight night. Canelo is no joke and Mayweather made him look like a bum.

[walrus]

Manny v Floyd, I now see it as many winning by shut out.
