I'm not trying to insult or offend, merely point out you're talking shit.

OK...

You just need to put 'in my opinion' at the end there.

The Champion keeps the title if the fight is a draw, thats the only advantage he should get once the bell rings.

That was not Williams fault. Judges tend to have reputations, and someone in the Martinez camp, should of known Martinez would need to focus on volume over quality, and made the adjustments in final planning.

So what you are saying is that the challenger has to take the title away from the champion, I agree....in essence the champ does have the upper hand at the first bell, he just has to avoid losing to keep his title.

Yep, but I don't think that on a round by round basis the challenger should have to do any more than the champ to win the rounds.

But then you end up with challengers trying to sneak the decision, that is not boxing, as I want it. I want challengers to give it their all, and prove they deserve to be champion, by means of a comprehensive victory.

so out of curiosity if someone is given a point deduction but wins the round its scored 10-9 for the fighter who was fouled?

No. It's a 9-9.

As in a 10-9, via 10 point must system, and then a point deduction, meaning it's a 9-9.

But champions don't have to give it their all?

No, 9-9.

1) Score the round 10-9
2) Take the point away for the foul.

9-9.

If you score rounds/ fouls in that order then you can't go far wrong. Where people slip up is deducting the point first, then scoring the round and gettting themselves in a bit of knot.

And Booze, I'm not plagarising Gervais either I wouldn't be surprised if he nicked it off me.

[Flea Man]

So Booze, you think Escalera-Everett was fair?

The champion would of paid his dues, and needs to do enough to keep crown.

So you only have to give it your all once, and then you can do just enough in all your fights after that knowing the judges are going to gift you rounds?

Sounds great.
