    I go with the general criteria but I definitely look at clean punching the most.

    The only way I go about this or I think is fair to go about this problem is to simply not score any of the punches that landed in an illegal sequence (elbow, headbutt, rabbit punching, etc.), as well as ignoring the ring generalship or defense shown in that and immediately resulting from that illegal sequence.

    Holding is one thing I've never understood how fans can legitimately claim a point NEEDED to be taken away. Some of the best fights and action to watch are two fighters in the clinch throughout a fight (not sarcastic; I love inside fighting and the IQ displayed in clinches...).

    Either you guys are stupid or I am.

    Basically you can see how hard punches land so I just start watching the fight from round 1 first second and Bingo fighter A lands a pitty pat, now fighter A has a lead from that pitty pat so now figher B has to land 1 pitty pat to tie or two to get the lead....... now fighter B lands a really good punch so that means that figher A has to land like a shitload of pitty pats while not getting hit at all to just draw the round..... lets say that fighter A now lands a really good punch himself and then a bunch of pitty pats while fighter B doesn't land practically anything at all except maybe on gloves and elbows... Voila fighter A wins the round 10-9.... time for the next round.

    You can't try to look at the round afterwards and score it, you have to score it while it's happening, give the lead to a fighter and then take it from him if the other fighter does more.
