I know there have been plenty of threads in the past about fights with close decisions, but it's mostly just people saying, "I thought this guy got robbed," or "the judges were corrupt," etc.
I want the new thread to be a place where you have to actually go back, watch the fight, and post a detailed scorecard to back up your argument.
I figure even if we just get 12-15 posters who would commit to watch the selected fight each week, it would make for some interesting discussion, especially during weeks where there are no fights on HBO, Showtime, etc.
If anyone's interested in doing something like this, post here, and if there's enough interest, I'll choose the first fight and start a thread for it tomorrow. I'd only pick fights that are easily available either on youtube or easy to find on the internet.
i watched that fight last week and decided to score it..so, i scored it 115-112 for lewis,7 rds to 4 with 1 even..lewis still clearly won,but it wasnt as one sided as HBO called it. lewis fought to causious,he should have know better than to leave his fate in the hands of incompetent and bias judges.for gods sake,he had holyfield badly hurt in i cant remember which rd,but he just toyed with evender when had he been more agressive,he could have koed the past his prime holyfield.Thats right i remember now,lewis had holyfield hurt against the ropes and did nothing except paw at him with a pathetic left jab when he should have just let his big guns blaze.ooh well ,he still won the fight
