bad break for tyson there in the 8th round. had he won, whole course of heavyweight history woulda been different
Yep, well the difference is, in amateur boxing, you have a fair sport, where rules are adhered to and fights are fair with evenly matched opponents. Where as professional boxing is a business. Rounds are won based on who the judge "thinks" looked better and everything is interpratation, the refs interpratation of the rules like allowing some fighters to hold and not doing the count properly and again, the judges interpratation of what deems a fighter the winner of a round.
If Ward were fighting another pro but with amateur judges and ref, first, he wouldnt win many rounds, or not as many as he does and second, he wouldnt get away with all that holding and mauling. Hed be warned, have points deducted and made to actually fight.
Alot of refs and judges are in promoters pockets and get treated very well, when in town to work a fight.
Amateur boxing is nearly a joke with the current scoring system. Body shots basically don't count and neither does most infighting. The idea that you think old men with electreonic buttons eliminates the subjectivity of judging is also pretty funny.
But since Douglas-Tyson wasn't an amteur match? Entirely irrelevant.
