    I'm with you there. I try to score in real time. Gives me a greater appreciation for the difficulty of judging and I find I spend less time feeling butthurt about a fight I thought went the wrong way ;)

    I think most fights are easy to score, most.

    If no ones throwing much of anything or landing, I score for who comes forward and presses.

    If one fighter is landing frequently but the punches are light taps and the other fighter is landing less often but the blows are damaging, I score for that fighter.

    If neither fighter is landing anything, I score for who throws more shots.

    If a fighter is clearly winning a round but gets hurt badly but stays up, the round swings to the other fighter.

    I recall years ago, Larry Merchant said something to the affect of, "the fighter than throws more and lands more, wins 95% of the time according to Compubox."

    It is not so easily.
    Commentators usually are on A side lad's side because they think that A side is better and they does know who is event's promoter and tickets seller here.

    Part of feints is also to pretend to be hurt more than guy is, some from technical arsenal to lull a guy in trap might be: with intent to encourage him to throw certain punches in order to get opportunity counter and also throw certain punches on opponent who is thinking that guy is hurt more than he is or does have fear.
    One from such techniques looks that you are able almost to rope guy and start batter him, while he is waiting for you in the trap.
    Other common trap is with stepping back.
    Some others include creating opening in guard with previous intent that opponent will attempt to use this.
    Some very sneaky boxers indirectly encourages opponent to clinch them cos if they will be clinched they expect certain position and are ready to torture opponent when he clinched supposedly easy victim.

    Like with gas tank: if you want to show that you have good gas tank, you might stand up between rounds, if to pretend that you are tired and gas tank is going worse: sit down asap and breathe havily, show face like you almost are half alive there.

    Boxers are very sneaky, like grapplers.

    A lot of punches landed on B side lad's guard are assumed as landed by a lot of fans. Also punches that did not had landed on guy at all.
    Katas at first does have prescribed scenarios, like music melody for anthem. I you do mistakes there, then this is evalued.
    How watchable this too, a bit I think.
    Kata for torunament is slow if compare to desirable speed.
    Tournament kata isn't bunkai.

    Regards to round scoring I score equally all parts of round like: 3 min round in 6 pieces, each piece is 30 seconds.

    Or as bad as the rep propaganda that their own party election officials are lying, every county in 5 specific states. It's wack!

    If power punches' amount are close in a fight, I look head+body distribution of power punches. Also, the fighter who makes a more eye-catching defense will have an advantage. This is why Clen won the second GGG fight. Versatility is important.

    Score for aggression. I detest huggers and runners. It’s not boxing.

    You can counterpunch like JMM, but running is running away from a fight. Nobody ever won a fight running away from it.

    its a fight, i score for who is winning the fight. i know how to throw a punch, i know whos throwing hurtful punches and whos tossing throwaway punches. throwaway punches dont win real fights. thats why you can beat a guy with everything you got for 2:45 seconds of the rd, and if he knocks you down in the last 15 seconds, he aint losing the rd. if i feel they are both connecting equally, i reward the aggressor.
    i put a lot of stock in ring generalship. controlling the fight means just that, youre in control.
    to me its all about what all combat soprts represent, or are watered down versions of, which is dominating another man. thats why i dont like really fast guys with no power. the speed is fake, theres no weight behind at. anyone can become faster if theyre just trying to touch you instead of hurt you. which leads me back to the beginning...its a fight.

    In an ideal world it would be pride scoring. How would you rather be in that fight.

    But as it is, a combination of clean effective punching, effective aggression, ring generalship and defence.

    Although I draw the line at excessive spoiling, in that case clean effective punching can SAD.

    For example Warrington vs Galahad, no worries there scoring for Warrington other the jab/hug combination.
