    Fighter B, nothing worse than a guy throwing punches and missing. How can you call that effective aggression or ring generalship.

    This is what I was trying to say.

    Let's look at the four categories you are supposed to score from.

    Effective agression: Fighter B gets the nod due to his highter % landed.

    Defence: B again, slipped a higher % of punches.

    Ring Generalship: We don't really know from the example given.

    Clean punching: The example said both landed the same power punch %, assuming both hit as hard as each other this is a tie.

    :rofl

    Then fighter B will probably be smart enough to move forward and stay enough in range to counter punch or launch and attack.

    Unfortunately people don't look at the scoring system and score based on personal preference.

    If its extremely equal why not give a 10-10 round.

    Its hard to say. It really depends on the way the round is played out. For instance if fighter A jabs his ass off for the first 2 minutes and lands 11 punches but then in the last minute fighter B pins him against the ropes and pummels him with 35 power punches and lands 11, fighter B takes it!!! :good

    Although I do understand the excercise, I don't think this is enough to go on. I don't think you can accurately judge a fight just by comparing stats. Too many variables, when you're dealing with subjective scoring.

    People may lean toward A because he was the aggressor, etc. But he may not be effective at it.......He could be throwing extra jabs to keep B at a distance, push him back.....which may or may not have worked.

    People may lean toward B because he was clearly more accurate, but what if almost all those shots came in a 20 second flurry and he was pushed around the vast majority of the round by a more aggressive fighter and was dictated to as to pace, distance and looked lost for much of it.

    Who's defense was better? Was anyone able to establish any measure of control of the round?

    I'm just saying scoring a round is subjective.

    this...^

    also i lean toward the guy who does the most damage...power shots and body work are worth more than jabs, pitty pat shoe shinning pot shots...

    This is pretty much my approach. If the damage done is equal, I take the busier man. But damage done is the key.

    I'd vote for whomever managed to CONTROL the pace and land the more telling blows.

    in this scenario it all depends on who lands the cleaner harder shots/ who appeared to be more damaged/ who appeared to be controlling the fight and making it go the way they want
