The official Khan/Lamont score card

[NuthaPug]

Rd 7 does not sit well with me.

Ftr I am not a Khan fan in the least and have been a fan of both Peterson brothers for years. I'm glad Lamont won and again I was cheering for him but given the extremely long delay in getting the scores and the official publicly saying they needed to correct a mistake in the scoring this is damn suspect.

If Hill had Khan winning the round and it appears he did then even with the point deduction it would have been an even round and thus the fight would have ended in a draw.
And how do you miss the deduction to begin with?
At this level a chicken scratch scorecard such as this is inexcusable.

Looks like he accidentally gave the round to Khan 10-8 and then corrected what he wrote.

These aren't the original scorecards written by the judges anyway. These are copies from the original onto a single page, all written by a single person, probably not one of the judges.

The error you see has nothing to do with the judge writing it down wrong during judging; it is a copying error, which is easy to make especially when it's tabular data like this. You go cross-eyed. Then you either start over on a fresh page or you scratch out, like here.

Just look across the page at the way the sevens (7) are written, for example, or any other character from scorecard to scorecard. All same person.

No, I'm not a handwriting expert but this don't take an expert. It's a scribe error and correction, pure and simple. Not about the fight or the judging at all.
