How do you score fights?

I look at fights as "Who would I rather be if this was happening on the street?"

 

Clean Punching
Defense
Effective Aggression
Ring Generalship

That is my criteria.

 

I look for accurate punching, thats my main criteria. If your not landing then your not doing anything. Now u get fights to where somebody threw 60 land 15, other guy threw 35, land 13. in those fights u really have to see which was mor effective, plus sometimes the person that threw less is just not enough.


I'm not with this he was the agreesor and throwing alot more, if dude anit landing then i dont give a damn if he was the agressor. thats like saying this team has 500 yards offense, other team has 220, but if u anit scoring then it doesnt matter.

 

Firstly keep your ego out of it and really look at who is doing the work.

Also what is a good round for a fighter doesnt mean they actually win the round.

Look at Canelo vs Floyd , I couldnt give Canelo a round yet he did better in some rounds than others.

Score Maidana vs Alexander, Khan vs Peterson , Oscar vs Mosley II.

 

In regards to the solid shots Over pitter patter punches I think that can get hazy. If fighter A has no power but is still landing 4 or 5 shots with all he can put into them, how can those shots be considered less effective than fighter B (a power puncher) landing 1 shot but not hurting the opponent.

Feather fisted fighters are at an unfair scoring disadvantage because the people scoring think that the harder punchers shots should count for more even if they aren't hurting the guy.

Not to change the thread direction but just as an example of what I'm talking about... Malignaggi vs broner

 

Wouldn't you rather be the guy throwing punches instead of the guy having to block punches? I think the busier guy should almost always win the round barring a knockdown or serious damage from the other guy.

For example, Ponce De Leon vs. Broner. They landed the same amount of punches but I think Ponce De Leon won because he was making Broner defend against them. I'd rather be throwing than defending.

 

I'd rather be the person that was landing more. If the agreesor landed more then thats fine. but if u keep hitting arms, elbows, and missing and u get hit clean as hell then u lose that round.

Like I said, i would like to have 500 yards of offense, put i'll take 250 if it gets me a win.

Cowboys moved the ball at will yesterday but kept kicking field goals, Packers didnt throw as much but when they did it was accurate and they won at the end. sorry if u dont get the football analogy but it seems to work well for me

 

To the fighter that lands the most.

 

comnbined on cleaner and harder shots.

 

If it is close, I go with the other guy if he landed harder.

 

Or better?

Look at Jones vs Tarver I

Who wins that one in your opinion?

 

This. Plus
*I score each round by thirds, scoring each of the three minutes.
*I'm not afraid to score a round even. Forcing yourself to pick a winner of a round when there wasn't one leads to bias and "make up rounds" later on.
*I try not to favor one style over another.

Lately, since Klitchko-Povetkin and Garcia-Matthysse, I've been thinking about whether a judge should factor into his scoring of a round repeated and blatant fouls that appear to affect the fight, even where the ref has not deducted a point. I know a judge can't deduct a point unless the ref does it, but I've wondered about whether those kind of fouls can be factored into his scoring in some way.

 

That right there is being biased...
