The Reason Why (IMO) We Will Always Score Fights in Favour of Our Favourite Fighters

[Trainer Monkey]

Yes, I concede there are always going to be exceptions to the rule. I think that will be the next fight I watch actually. Ray vs Hagler still havnt seen it

Its a very solid fight,I to this day dont think Ray won it though

I think WE would score a close round in favour to our prefered fighter also. Those rounds where its close to call, but it's not gonna be 10 each. We'll side with our fighter just because we're supporting him. Therefore iif there are 4 close to call rounds, you would have your fighter up by those 4 rounds, which other people may not agree with.

This obviously can't be the case with the judges unless they prefer a fighter....so you never know!

As a manager and a trainer,trust me,I have told fighters,"Dont let this go to the cards"

I can't say that I agree with this... THere have been many times where I have felt that my favored fighter lost a fight, but I agree that in a close fight with close rounds that it almost always goes to the fan's favorite fighter. Yet judges sometimes are like that as well I still ahve no idea how fights like HOpkins-Wright and JMM-Barrera had just lopsided scores. Both fights were extremely close and I felt in both cases Hopkins and JMM won by a hair.

Obviously i'm not saying you'd score every round to your favourite fighter! What i'm getting at is exactly what you say. Close fights with close rounds you will always score for your fave fighter because his style of fighting is more aesthetically pleasing to you. Therefore giving him the nod. If you're scoring rounds where your fave fighter lost by a mile for him then obviously that's just being far too biased.

the thing you have to watch the most IMO is paying more attention to what your favorite fighter is doing then what the opponent is doing. They may each land a punch in an exchange but you pay more attention to what the guy you're rooting for did.

Lampley is good at this. He even sees punches land that don't land at all. For some reason lately I've had an urge to walk up to somebody on the street and scream "big right hand"

Haha so true about Lampley. He calls a 'Great Left Hook by Mayweather!!!! Rocked De Marcus Corley!' in that fight that never actually existed. I remember when I first heard him say it went back because I thought i'd missed it but nope, the punch actually didn't exist lol. Big right hand is definitely his favourite.

Looking at a fight from a trainers point of view is much different to watching as a fan. There's more cause for concern, you know the judges could see it either way. As a fan you'll score close rounds in your mans favour.
