If judges score cards were shown after every round could this make things more interesting?

    I think it could, as the fighter loosing on points can't win especially in the latter rounds would give him or her the push for the knockout. What do you think.

    They tried that with trout canelo. Canelo was up after 8 (somehow very wide) and ran for the next 4 rounds.

    I believe they should show the scoring every round. In addition to everything, it gives the losing fighter a way to adjust to what those 3 judges are favoring.

    they had it before where they'd show the scoring after round 4 and round 8.

    Agreed. I'm a big supporter of open scoring and wish they'd take it further than the every four rounds it's occasionally used for.

    Seriously though...in what other good sport is the score hidden from the public? It's ridiculous and breeds corruption.
    Boxing is scored on 4 criteria and the judges don't even have to qualify how they came up with the score. It's literally the stupidest scoring in all of sports.
