Lara/Alvarez scorecards thread

[J_C]

For me half the fight contained close rounds where I could imagine people scoring it either way. In a fight like that youre gona get weird cards from time to time.

In my head during a fight I always count 'clean' rounds and 'close' rounds to allow for what the score discrepancies could be when I hear the judges cards. Clean meaning 1 guy won the round and I have no doubt. Close as in I could see a scenario in which a judge could go either way. In this fight I only saw 6 'clean' rounds and 4 of them were won by Canelo (2 Lara and 6 close).


So if you gave ALL 6 close rounds to Canelo then you can actually get 118-110, likewise you could have it 116-112 Lara. There really were a lot of close rounds due to the extremely low punches landed.


FWIW I actually had Lara winning 115-113 as I happened to score 5 of the 6 'close' rounds to him. But I can see how a 117-111 Canelo card can happen.
