I dont have sky digital, so I missed yet another fight I was dying to see. Most people, fans & media seem to think Oscar should have won.
Thomas Hauser was on the radio today & said he thought it was close, but he went for De La Hoya. However, he also said many people he respected in boxing circles scored it for Mosely.
Like I said, I havent seen the fight, so I cant comment. All I know is the judges get a different perspective from us at home, they see things we dont & vice versa. Its easier to gauge accuracy from a TV set, but harder to judge power & clean, effective punching(which might be why some judges lean towards the agressor, e.g Tua/Rahman II).
Punch stats tell a tale, but not the whole story, & unless all judging is abandoned in favour of a compubox setup, you cant use stats as complete proof of a bad decision. Ring generalship, defence & effective aggression involve more than just a punch being registered.
