Bad Left Hook reports on Showtime Sports launching a new mobile boxing scoring game which you can play on your iPhone or Droid. The game was launched before tonight’s Ortiz-Lopez fight.
Via BLH:
Launched in advance of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast-Ortiz vs. Lopez, play SPLIT DECISION to test your skills against all players and see how you stack up. Each player’s pre-fight predictions and live scoring will be judged against the official decision and the round-by-round scores. Earn points with correct predictions and scorecards that match that of the officials at ringside.
All players this weekend get entered into a random drawing to win a trip to a future SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event.
To play, log on to SD.SHO.COM (http://sd.sho.com) from your iPhone or Android, create your account in a few simple steps and make your predictions. Then, during the live fights (both SHO televised fights) score the fights round by round.
Shortly after the fights, check your score and see where you rank on the leaderboard.
Post your predictions on Facebook and follow the conversation on Twitter.
Payout Perspective:
A timely app considering the controversial Pacquiao-Bradley decision. Tonight would have been a good night to be a judge up until Victor Ortiz quit (which is another story). Yet, it’s another sign of boxing reaching out to fans through the use of social media. Not only will the app make watching the fight more interactive, one can post their picks on Facebook or Twitter.
