Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 Drinking Game

DLH landed the harder shots and it was evident on PBF's face, he had more than decent swelling while Oscar came out clean

Oscar also outweighed him by at least 15lbs, hence his punches being harder. To me neither looked like they'd been in a fight, but are you really saying you'd score a fight based on slight swelling above one eye?

Found the vid - Would you really say that is real swelling? It probably came from that final flurry at the end, so do you decide a fight on that?

no i'm not saying that, i judge a fight ROUND BY ROUND, and my final score was 115-113 Mayweather at most it could be 116-112 Mayweather, and i scored the fight completely unbiased

116-112 is 8-4 roundwise, and 115-113 is rediculous, you would have to give rounds where OScar used blind, ineffective aggression, to rally that scorecard. Since when did walking into punches win you rounds?

The problem with using "landed" punch stats as an indicator as to who won the fight is that if it goes to points, you can't say Fighter A won because his punch TOTAL was twice what Fighter B's was.

E.G Mayweather Castillo - If we look at the punch stats after maybe rounds 5 and 6, I'm 95% sure Mayweather would have been ahead - He slowed down after the 6th round but if you've already got 6 rounds in the bag, does it really matter whether the other fighter ends up landing more total punches by the end of the fight?? I thought Mayweather nicked it by a round because he took too many early rounds and had one round later on. As Jaz Merkin says, Castillo won rounds more decisively and towards the end of the fight hence why people made a big hoo hah imo.

Then there's the fact that compubox stats are crap - come on, if Calzaghe was in an amateur contest with Hopkins and using correct punching technique he probably would have scored the least punches on Hopkins than any other fighter. It's supposed to be a "punchstat" not a "slapstat"
