Vlad losing round 5 10-8 is why scoring rounds need to be adjusted & not so absolute

[Sleepwalker]

You knock a guy down and you automatically given a 10-8 round, regardless if the opponent gets the better of you during the same round.

Yeah it should've been 10-9 AJ. Wlad clearly had AJ reeling toward the end of the round.

That's just how boxing scoring is. In reality, it was an even round without the knockdown. AJ dominated the first half while wlad dominated the second half. The knockdown makes it a 10-8 round. Wlad did not dominate the whole round and therefore did not deserve a 10-9 scorecard.

[Master]

The scoring was absurd and no way was AJ winning that fight on points at the time it was stopped.

[BIG H]

Agree, Wlad was ahead going into the 11th but even had he made it through the 11th, he would then have been a couple behind.

The scoring was perfectly fine, there were several coin flip rounds, and as this thread shows, people are undecided whether a single round was 10-9 or 10-8.

The Showtime bods had AJ in front going into the 11th and they scored the 5th 10-9.
