Hmmm - yeah I was talking to a friend who was watching the fight with me last night, and he informed me that the score cards they were showing on screen during the fight were from the HBO "judges", not the real deal. For some reason I thought those calls were coming from the appointed judges.
Still though, even without the shitty HBO commentary/info I didnt think La Hoya was doing all that bad. He was on the defensive most if not all of the fight but he landed a lot of punches - granted the triple left jab that he was using all night may have added a lot to his count.
Im nowhere near a boxing expert or anything. What do the judges base their scoring on primarily during the fights? punches landed, fatigue level> ?, shaky on feet> ? , power of punches landed, types of punches> ?
I read also that Mosely was pissed about not getting the payoff that Hoya did for the fight and made a bet with him for half a million to go to the winner? Wonder if Hoya paid up or is he going to wait until his lawsuit has run its course
