Interesting scoring in round two. Tank Davis scored a knockdown, but not one of the three judges scored it 10-8. Judge Dave Moretti had 10-10, while judges Steve Weisfeld and Tim Cheatham had 10-9 for Tank. At the time of the KO, Davis was ahead 58-56, 59-56, 59.55.

I can’t help but read racism into this, even if it’s not there. 10-10 round with a knockdown? How can this be explained?
Go read a book.
You’re a moron. With blinders on.
All I can say is thank God it ended in knockout! I was scoring along and putting an asterisk by every questionable round. Only Round 1 was undeniable…Garcia simply outworked Davis in that one. As for Round 2, I scored 10 to 8, but was tempted to score 10 to 9, because save for one punch Garcia dominated the Round. 10 to 10 never crossed my mind, but Garcia clearly wasn’t hurt and Davis really didn’t land anything beyond the 1 counter punch.
I’m always careful to cry racism. When you are throwing 20 punches a round it’s hard to give you a round. In the end, I can’t stress enough how glad I am it was a stoppage. Impossible to get a clean score when both guys are primarily counter punches. I had it even after 6, but again the rounds were very hard to score, because neither guy were landing anything. I was edging toward the jab and aggressor.
Not racism corruption more like it, just like when Pacquiao knocked Marquez down 3 times in the first fight one judge didn’t make it a 10 to 6 round making it a draw. Boxing is just corrupt because the organization governs themselves.
Dino, get over it the fight was a draw and yes 10-6 would have been correct., But neither Pacquiao or Marquez were at the time famous or even household names. So corruption in who’s favor. They weren’t making millions back in 2003. Cesar USN Retired.
Yeah it was obvious corruption in both cases. In fact everything you disagree with is CORRUPT. and if not…then RACIST.
Well put.
People willingly forget about that little oopsie committed in their first fight.
Hahah racism?? I’d bet everything I have that you are black. EVERYTHING is racist, right?
I’m white, and you are clearly showing your racism.
Lol the funny thing is white conservative males are the ones who claim racism about everything. Most black people don’t care.
No its the liberal white ladies who are the worst. They hide behind social justice while protecting their own interests.
Wrong. Most PEOPLE don’t care. It’s only the robots being programmed by the tell-a-vision that cause believe the stories and cause a ruckus. Those same robots are steered in any direction that suits the needs of their handlers. The narrative is nothing but BS.
The only color that matters at the end of the day is green and how much of it you can produce.
Your insecurity on display?
Can’t be-could be 10-9 if fighter scoring the knockdown loses the rest of the round but fighter with the most knockdown in a round always wins that round.
Johnathan York STFU. I guarantee you’re white. Always stoking the flames. Dummy
STFU yourself, I am white. Already said that. And it’s easy to recognize corruption as much as racism, they both make good bedfellows.
Of course there is racism lol. Who cares about them. Black excellence is ruling 135 and its on lockdown. Tank vs Haney is the only match that matters at 135. We all know Haney is going to dust Lomachenko
Ok. Break it down. How does this lead to racism in your book?
oh please with the racism crap if anything politics but im not suprised at the scorecards it to me was actually going to be tough to score minus the knockdown and eventual knockout
if tank had left it to these crooked judges , he would have definitely loss. 10 10 in the 2nd is ridculous, kudos to tank for making sure they couldnt screw him
That’s so bizarre. The fact that none of them scored it 10-8 to Tank makes it sound like it was coordinated.
It’s very rare for a knockdown round not to be scored 10-8, and I don’t recall ever seeing it in a quiet round like round 2 was.
Yes wrong in more than one way but Garcia was winning that round easily. 10-9 for Tank might could be explained but com on man! No way, and I’m Garcia all the way. Congrats to the winner.
I scored it a 10-9 round for Tank. Ryan was easily winning the round because neither guy was really doing anything, Garcia was just out working him at that point. Then he got knocked down. You can give it a 10-8 round just because tank landed one good punch while Ryan was getting the better of him for the other 2:59 of the round.
I personally think 10-8 is the proper score. While I agree that Ryan was comfortably winning round 2, Tank cannot legally ouch the downed fighter, so that disadvantages him while Ryan takes the count. And as far as clean, effective punching, putting so the opponent on the ground is about as effective as one can get.
*Legally punch
It’s called corruption. Follow the money.
Al Hayman/De La Hoya
Actually the correct score for round 2 should have been 9 – 9 or 10 – 8 depending on who you thought win the round.
In the 10 pt must system you only get 10 pts for winning the round and deduct one from your opponent for scoring a knockdown.
So if you thought Ryan controlled the round expect for the one punch knockdown turn it should have been 9-9.
If you thought tank won the round then it should have been 10-8.
The judges were clearly incompetent in that round.
Your an idiot it’s a ten point must system , you win the round you get 10 points , unless you are deducted a point .
Dave Moretti needs to make an appointment with an optometrist. Might also want to check with his primary care physician on getting a brain scan and MRI performed.
Garcia got exposed, he is not an elite level fighter. Gatekeeper level maybe.
