A draw means tie
Ed Pontaoe
22 Mar 2008
For the record. I did not watch the fight because it’s too expensive for my taste, and I know pretty damn well it would be a mediocre fight intended to fleece the ignoramus.
I know you watched the game with enthusiasm but with the amount of suds you were drinking you did not see what went by.
Your words, “There was no draw from any of the judges”. What are you talking about Mr. Edwin? According to my friend Danny Webster . . . draw means tie unless you’re reading from the library of Union City.
According to the scoreboard, Miller gave Pacquiao the breaker 114-113 while Ford and Roth gave both fighters even scores of 115-112. That’s the tie, Mr. Edwin . . . a draw.
Again, let me guide you the intricacies of scoring boxing. The scoreboard goes by rounds of 12 as in this fight. The points accorded is a standard 10 meaning that’s the highest point a judge can give a boxer to the low 0 on each round.
So, taking Miller’s for example, his given score to Pacquiao from all rounds can be broken into: Round 1 – 10, 2- 9, 3-10, 4-10, 5-9, 6-10, 7-9, 8-9, 9-10, 10-10 11-9, 12-9 which amounts to 114 if you add it all up. He gave Marquez 113.
The standard of 10 imposed by the boxing world, Mr. Edwin.
If you check Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports he scored it in the standard not adding scores all rounds. He gave Marquez 10-9 on rounds he won.
You want a copy of the fight you did not watch . . . it’s in the internettttttt!
