Remedial Math for Boxers

[NoSavingByTheBell]

this thread has 2 directions now. It started out by stating boxers need to keep better arithmetic tally of the rounds as they are going by (and losing them!).... but now it looks like it is focused on the SCORING of the fight..... 2 diff things for sure, but Im still tempted to follow along on the 2nd issue, the scoring..... I guess it is all tied together. I'll just state that the announcers in the 9th round were BOTH already stating that Loma "had won the last 2 rounds" ---- and this was DURING the 9th round! I thought "WTF, he didnt win the 7th", yet they both had it down as a given, like it was so clear he had def won the 7th. Its almost like there's a pre-existing "given" built-in for announcers/judges..... bottom line, he threw away (euphemistically) o f the first 7 rounds..... knowing there were 12. He must have been praying for a KO, but No way was he expecting a knockout, he hadnt landed shit and thats alot of eggs in one shrinking basket.

Either thats just bad arithmetic, or...... he COULDNT get inside because Lopez's strength was such a factor..... I guess it was a bit of both. Lopez started doing a George Foreman kind of shove in the 2nd half of the fight, very effective, and was never warned that I saw.
