10-10 and 10-8 scoring's should be used more liberally.

I agree, some rds are just too close to be given to one fighter or the other. Im in favour of 10-10 rds

 

. . . you do that then you change the whole system they call the "10 point must system"

 

i am glad you brought up such a thread as i have a lot of questions..

how do you score a guy who is winning the round badly then at the last 10 or 5 seconds he got caught with shot resulting into a KD(flash or not). Would it be a 10-8 in favor of the guy who scored the KD?

how do you score back to back KDs? is it a 10-10

and how do you score a round with the other guy being aggressive but not able to land anything, and the other guy being elusive, slick great defense but not throwing anything or perhaps just threw about 3 or 2 shots?

 

I agree to mate. not enough judges use the 10-10 option for a round, you very rarely see it/hear of it, and its dissapointing.

 

i see others have different views on scoring..i'm still waiting for replies.

 

True there are close rounds in boxing. But that is not enough reason to score 10-10. A judge must decide who wins a round. What about a fight that is definitely close tit-for-tat in every round? I've never heard of any fight ending with a draw with the scores even 120-120 or 100-100. That's just plain stupid.

 

hmm...i agree but everyone seems to have a different view when it comes to judging, I'll still wait for other's answers, see what everyone thinks

 

Round one of Calzaghe Hopkins was a 9-9 round.

 

is this a joke?:rofl

 

No.

I really am taking a point away from Calzaghe for being pushed down by Hopkins. It was a clever push after all, old school almost.

 

Does it matter, the judges are all 75 year old with shot eyesight innit? nah i agree 100% with ya, fresher judges wouldnt hurt also.
