So what you're saying is that Lampley called this fight the same way he calls every Barrera fight.Originally Posted by CutMeMicK
To answer the main question, the scoring for Round 7 should have been 9-8 Marquez.
Marquez dominated the first 2:55 of the round. Barrera should have credited with the knockdown, but Barrera didn't deserve a 10-8 round, since Marquez had dominated the first 2:55.
If Nady had called it a knockdown, and Barrera hadn't thrown the illegal punch, it should have been a 9-9 round at that point. Marquez winning the round, but losing a point because he was knocked down.
Then, because Barrera threw the blatantly dirty and illegal punch, he deserved a point deduction, which would have made the correct score 9-8 Marquez.
That's why it was stupid that the announcers spent the whole night complaining that it was a 2 or 3 point swing, that's not true.
The missed knockdown just meant a one point difference.
