Of course a fight is going to look different replayed back in slow motions from different angles etc, but at the end of the day you can only go by real time in a live fight, the same way the judges see it. And I doubt you would even claim to have watched a real majority of the fight in slow motion, played both ways. It would be like my going back and saying I think the Miami Heat actually should have won the NBA finals this year because Lebron and Wade look soooo much cooler in slow motion than that big ugly German Nowitzki does, all there points should have counted for like 15. Lara was consistently landing more big punches that looked great in real time, with a lot more frequency. Williams face was absolutely mangled as a result, and he clearly looked dejected in the corner between every round past halfway. It was a terrible decision imo.
    I do agree that the fight should take place initially in real time, in fact it would be impossible with current technology for the fight to take place in anything other than in real time, going forwards.

    But I do think that future technology should concentrate on slowing the fight down or maybe have two fights running concurrently, the real time one that the fans can enjoy, and a slow motion fight, ran backwards for trained professional analysis.

    Of course, some more progress in physics and quantumn theory would be necessary to run two "parrallel" fights, in two time dimensions and running both backwards and forwards through time so it's a little way off yet admittedly.

    Also, it might pose a problem with betting as if hackers were able to get access to the slow motion, backwards fight footage before the live fight (which would be technically impossible if Einstein's theories are correct) then they could know the result before the fight took place.

    Maybe on reflection, with the complications that this would bring you are right and we should continue to run fights real time for now until certain safety mechanisms and failsafes have been implemented, although in the event of a dodgy decision, slow mo and reverse should be used to confirm the initial judges decision and uphold the integrity of the sport.
    I didn't know that you liked to get high.

    I've been watching boxing since i was 8 years old, i scored this 118-110... i obviously haven't learned a fucking thing. Williams needs to reconsider his future, he is looking at another serious KO loss and should retire. The judges have done him no favours here.

    I think Lara clearly one but in my opinion he wasn't as dominant as others have suggested. Whenever he pushed the action he won round, but I felt he rested and let Paul's volume takeover at times during the fight. I had it 116-113 for Lara
