In The Spotlight

Andrew Wake's picture

You have a very naive view of boxing.

Let me get something straight, Tarver beat Woods in almost every round. He beat him both inside and outside the ring. I never said Woods gave a great a performance and that's why Tarver won so convincingly, I just said that Tarver put on the perfect performance to win. Surely you can see that was the case?

Secondly, with Hopkins at 43 and Calzaghe not yet officially a light-heavyweight until Saturday, the door is wide open for Antonio to become top dog again. I used the word "could" not will. For what it's worth I believe that once Calzaghe wipes out Hopkins this weekend there will be no argument to who the best 175 pounds is, it'll be the Welshman.

And what's all this "Judges score for young guys" nonsense? Of course they don't.They they score by rounds. Johnson won rounds by greater margins but he did not win enough of them. I had it even but there were still some swing rounds and I really don't think there's a controversy. You even said that you feel Dawson won, so if the right man won why get your panties in a twist?

You thought it should have been 116 - 115? Sorry friend, but unless you scored it 5 rounds to 4 with THREE even, I must inform you that 15 round fights were ruled out some time ago.

You argue for pressure pads in gloves and then talk about points systems like in the olympics. Surely you know that the Olympic points system favours fighters who don't punch hard?

Maybe you should learn how to score fights before passing judgement in the future.
