Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into the world of boxing lately, and David Benavidez is a name that keeps popping up. I wanted to see for myself what all the hype was about, so I decided to create my own “David Benavidez Scorecard”. Basically, I’m tracking his fights, how I scored them, and any notes I have.
Getting Started
First, I needed a list of his fights. That was pretty easy to find with a simple search. You know, I’m a complete beginner, don’t use professional words, just keep searching, it’s not difficult at all.
The Scoring System
- I’m using the standard 10-point must system.
- The winner of each round gets 10 points.
- The loser gets 9 or fewer, depending on how the round went.
- Knockdowns usually mean a point deduction.
My Process
I started watching Benavidez’s fights, one by one. Some were easy to find online, others took a bit more digging. As I watched, I made sure to have my scorecard ready. For each round, I’d jot down:
- Round Number: Obvious, right?
- My Score: Who I thought won, and by how much.
- Notes: Anything interesting I noticed. Like, “Benavidez really dominated with his jab that round” or “Close round, could have gone either way”.
Keeping it Organized
I wanted a neat way to keep all this info,So, it’s not fancy, but it’s working for me. I can easily look back at any fight and see how I scored it, and what my thoughts were at the time.
What I’ve Learned So Far
Going through this process, round by round, has really helped me understand Benavidez’s style. I’m seeing his strengths, his weaknesses, and how he’s evolved over time. It’s also made me appreciate the nuances of boxing scoring in general.
It’s a simple project, it just needs to be done slowly.
