[Pigeon_Killer]

Holy ****, what a last round. He's done it

 

[mollymoo]

Awesome

 

[fozzybear]

Get in there Anthony Joshua!!

 

[NZB]

Go on son!

 

[mollymoo]

Best fight I've seen so far.

Didn't think he would do it after two rounds, but wow, 18 points a piece.

I wasn't sure how Count Back worked, so Googled:

When there's a tie all of the scores from all of the judges are added up to determine the winner.

I think the count back showed that the 2nd rounds scoring might have been a bit off.

 

[Moothead2]

When it's revealed it's 18-18 it much feel incredible the second your hands starts being raised.

 

[robfosters]

Great moment for Joshua. Italian corner weren't at all happy!

 

[bingham67]

Italian camp are appealing

 

[Moothead2]

Oh god, then tension of having an appeal .

 

[Caseh]

I don't know what's more annoying.. Italians appealing or Khan constantly interrupting Lewis.

 

[NZB]

No change

Hey, I've never really watched boxing, the guy won today on count back. Can someone explain what it is? Is it who was ahead at the end of the last round? who won the last point? what?

I've had a quick google but nothing explains it.

thanks

There are 5 judges who each give a score. At the end of each round the highest and lowest scores are dropped and the middle 3 are used. On countback they use all 5 judge's scores for each round.

I think.

Not quite.

There are 5 judges who have to press a red or blue button when they think the boxer has scored a point. If 3 judges press the same coloured button within 1 second, it counts as a point.

When they do a count back they count up all the individual button presses.

Thanks makes more sense than what I was thinking it was
