Rounds 4 and 5 were both scored 10-9

[Koro_11]

Now I dont care if you're a Romero hater or the biggest Whittaker fanboy, just think about this for a second... Whittaker was awarded the same score for round 4 as Romero was given for round 5, both scored 10-9.

Anyone who can accept that with a straight face and pretend that's right has no clue what they're watching.

Holm got a 10-8 from two judges.

Yeah, it's silly. Avoiding situations like that is why I'm liberal in scoring 10-8 rounds. It's why I think round 1 could be 10-8 too.

But this whole debate would be avoided were the fight scored like THIS

 

[johncola]

Holm got a 10-8 from two judges.

Shoulda been all three judges.

And shoulda been for both rounds 2 and 3.

Score should have been 30-25 or 29-26.

 

[Streeter]

It was a draw Bobby had 1,2,4 Romero had 3 an a 10-8 5. Could argue Romero had a 10-8 in 3 an 5.

 

[Dr Brian Pepper]

I always thought 10-8 were given when the fighter was dominated most of the round, and was close to being finished.


While Whitaker did get hurt, he was still able to recover, and regain a position. that's the main reason they scored it 10-9, because didnt dominate, he just caught Whitaker, but was unable to capitalize on it.


Like Yoel took big shots every round of this fight too, you cant get a 10-8 when youre eating shots like that, it wouldnt make any sense

 

[Gilday]

Holm got a 10-8 from two judges.

... That's actually a fair point

No round in the Holly fight was more decisive than Romero's round 5

 

[Brom Bones]

Yeah, the scoring system is fucked up. That was the point of the more liberal 10-8 rounds. He did HUGE damage with not much returned from Whittaker. The 3rd did have Whittaker dealing some damage, so I gave him a 10-9 for Romero.

They DID give two 10-8s in the Holm fight, where she did dominate, but didn't inflict nearly as much damage as Romero in the 5th.

IT'S ALL FUCKED UP!
