Cunningham-Adamek was certainly worse but both were awful imo. It was one of those fights where I couldn't find 7 rounds to give Bradley.
Should consensus scoring be used?
This is where if two judges score a round to a particular fighter they get the round, if the judges have it Judge 1: Fighter A, Judge 2:Fighter B and Judge 3: Draw then the round would be 10-10 and so on.
For example consensus scoring would have had Chilemba beating Bellew 116:114 and it would have also had Crolla-Mathews a 115-115 draw, both fair scores in my opinion. Should this system be rolled out to mitigate poor judging when some judges hand in almost random scorecards?
If anyone can work out what result consensus scoring would have given in controversial fights stick them in here so we can see if it really works :lol:

Like I've said, I know I'm arguing against most of the world on this one. This is the fight that finally made me realise not to take opinions from articles / fight reports / others seriously anymore, to make my own mind up by viewing fights. It makes me wonder on some of the fights through history that I may have scored differentl but will never get the chance due to no film existing. It was a pivotal moment for me in boxing, change my outlook.Cunningham-Adamek was certainly worse but both were awful imo. It was one of those fights where I couldn't find 7 rounds to give Bradley.
HBO commentary was a disgrace in this fight and influenced people, Lampley was calling shots landed by Bradley as shots landed by Pacquiao at points! Was a close fight that could have gone either way. I thought it was mental how people thought it was such a robbery as well.Like I've said, I know I'm arguing against most of the world on this one.

I had Pacquaio 10-2 - Bradley didn't land shit untill the last 2 rounds - best thing that happened to him was that Pacquaio couldn't be arsed to fight him for more than half a round. Still when he did, he landed the cleaner and more hurtful shots - hell Bradley left in a wheelchair:rofl
Yeah mate, That's how I viewd it with lampley. there's a nughugger vid that is/was on youtube that is a bit dramatic but explains it how I saw it. It's history now, time to move on (until another debate brings it up then i'll be off againHBO commentary was a disgrace in this fight and influenced people, Lampley was calling shots landed by Bradley as shots landed by Pacquiao at points!

yeah but the other 2 mattered didn't they? check mateSays one of three people in the whole world who scored it for bradley
What gets me about scoring is that if 75% or over score it to one fighter, then that is the way it should be scored, i respect people's opinions to have scores differently, but boxing is a sport where it's down to majority judgement to decide who won. If 80% of people score a fight a certain way that should be regarded as right. If that made any sense
:lol: :twistedyeah but the other 2 mattered didn't they? check mate
