Most people dont know how to score a fight.

Fair point but we'd have better discussions if people focused more on the meat of what someone is saying, rather than jumping on a relatively minor mistake.

 

This Trampie fella is the most successful troll on the British Forum.


Look at all those bites! Jealous.

 

It’s not really a minor mistake when you’re arguing about rules. It’s also because there’s a clear difference between what a 10-10 and a 9-9 score tells you.

10-10 is a drawn round with no significant shifts of momentum
10-9 suggests a standard winning round
10-8 suggests a knockdown or serious beating
9-9 suggests a fighter won the round but lost a point
Etc, so on…

You use scores to better understand what happened in the round and, in theory, to teach other judges how to score.

 

Fair point df but a bit tenuous. For example 9-9 could be a point deduction each in an even round...I get what you're saying but I'd still call it a minor mistake, all things considered.

Also, Bryn, it's not fair to call someone a troll just because they argue a case you don't agree with. A troll is someone who stirs **** up for the sake of it, even though they don't really believe what they're saying. That's not what Trampie is doing here.

 

I beg to differ, that's exactly what he's doing.

That's not what you were saying at all, little politician. Your title very clearly says "Most people don't know how to score a fight". It is not an error, you made up a whole load of **** and are now trying to amend your point so you don't look so foolish. It's not working, by the way.

Even if you are saying how boxing should be scored, you're wrong. The boxer who scores the KD wins the round, it is only by how much that matters. It would be unfair on the guy who scored the knockdown that he only gets an even round when he did the second best thing you can do in a fight: score a knockdown. The only thing that's better? Knocking the guy out.

Perhaps you want to give some credit to fighters who get stopped? "Well, he was ahead on the cards at the time... let's call it a draw!"

I am enjoying watching you desperately claw to make a point.

 

Points deductions are done after you've scored the round. So you think fighter A won the round, it's 10-9, then you put a 1 in the points deducted column if there has been a deduction. You will never not see a 10 in one of points scored columns. Ever.

You must be trolling. Surely.

 

This seems to be causing you some problems...

Fighter A outlands Fighter B and controls the round. He ends up in a clinch, headlocks his opponent and whacks his head into the ring post. The referee penalises him a point.

The judges score the round 9-9 all the way around. That tells you something and is therefore important - Fighter A WON the round, but lost a point for an intentional foul. So the 9-9 is instructive and means something subtly different to a 10-10.

You may not agree with it, but those are the rules.
