    Technically you are correct according to compubox punches landed. And yes illegal blows are well, illegal. Just like biting somebody is illegal.

    But like I said the professionals are not scored on punches landed. We score rounds.

    Yes and I like I already said, punches to the arms and chest do have an affect. If you don't know that then you have never boxed so aren't in a position to give a balanced opinion.

    They hurt really bad. Professional boxing is about one man hurting another. The idea is to hurt him more than he hurts you.

    Spence still won. Mikey still didn't do diddley squat, and Spence still went easy on him.

    Your hobby of taking out your latent homosexual rage on posters, wore thin a long time ago, try posting something of substance or I will ban you. You're a lot of sound and fury, but beneath all of that you have nothing offer but insults. Grow up Gil, you're very immature. And that's coming from me, that means you really should check yourself.

    Yeah that's great, but answer the question, because I've seen this pattern for the last two or three months where guys punch the **** out of their opponents forearms and they're reflexively and often incorrectly awarded rounds. I think people need to be called on it. Punches to the forearm do not count that's scoring punches, not sure why that's lost on most people.

    Technically correct means that I'm correct. And everyone who scores otherwise is incorrect. If a judge is so dense but they can't ascertain which punches are landing and which ones are not, then maybe they should find another line of work. There's a reason why someone is disqualified if the score a knockout with a rabbit punch a low blow or punching someone when they're down. Because technically it's illegal, therefore it's illegal.

    Punches to the forearms do not count as a landed punch. But rounds arent scored according to punches landed. They're scored first and foremost on damage given and damage avoided.

    Ok ill bite. No they shouldn't count. Does Spence win the fight anyway? Do you think Mikey did anything to deserve to win that fight? What was your scorecard?

    You are correct that punches to the shoulder and forearm are not landed punches. But in the pros there is no such thing as a scoring punch you score rounds. In the amateurs a jab that grazes the chin counts the same as a left hook that doubles over your opponent .

    You score rounds on pain.

    I'll repeat once again, this has nothing to do with the outcome of the match, I gave the first two rounds to Mikey, which seemed to enrage the majority of the round by round, not sure why. I gave Mikey those rounds, because Spence was landing nothing clean, and most of his punches were being caught on the forearms of Garcia. Whereas Garcia most of his punches were connecting to the face or body of Spence. Nothing egregious there whatsoever.

    Mikey literally landed nothing. He only connected with double digits in one round.

    Mikey’s corner was asking him after every round if he wanted to continue and debating pulling him out. Do you think his corner was concerned about the punishment his arms were taking from blocking Spence’s punches?

    No you don't score a round based on pain, you score rounds based on landed punches, that is all. Because the judges have no idea how the fighters in the ring are feeling, so that would be awfully presumptuous of them wouldn't it?

    Are you well? What's so hard to compute about what I'm asking? The end result is not up for debate, and that's not what I'm debating.
