Only 4 of 88 Press Members scored for Marquez

[fightscorecollector]

88 scores taken from the boxing press and only 4 had Marquez winning the fight. One of the scores i feel was shocking.

 

 

I had it 115-113 Bradley but felt he clearly won.

--- Guess I was destined from birth to be in opposition to the boxing media, not that I see any blatant robbery.

 

What I question is what the boxing media thinks when it lines up with official results half the time as opposed to their thinking when they are in complete opposition to the official results? Perhaps more importantly, how they can come up with such "uniformity" of collective scores when most every one agrees it was a close fight. They usually love to use punch monkey stats, but these barely show a Bradley punch "advantage" of a measly 1.25 punches landed per round.

 

It may be that an 1.25 "punch" advantage average means everything to the off the radar guardians of boxing's free press, but, regardless, it usually seems as if they move in an instinctive herd mentality rather than as sentient analysts.
