Most people dont know how to score a fight.

Agree, its just the know it alls who like to think they know it all unfortunately they dont, they just look like dicks but if it makes them feel better...sigh! its only cos they are lacking in some other department! :good

 

It was trampie who came on here with the "know it all" attitude.

 

What is that supposed to mean? :think

 

No 9-9s were scored either you'll be relieved to know.

 

I scored the fight 120-120

 

I think professional boxing needs to be judged by computers. Hi tech computers that, count clean shots landed, body shots, shots on gloves which penetrate, knock downs, etc....

They have the technology to easily do this, **** judges...

 

I'd just have more judges for the bigger fights. Assuming none of them are corrupt, more judges would presumably cancel out the ones having an off night. People collect the scores from journalists at ringside, have there been any notable examples of them (in the majority) getting it wrong?

I can sort of see the arguement that it's a bit unfair that winning a clear round and a close round are worth the same, but that's the sport. A 1-0 win in football is worth the same amount of points as a 6-0 win.

Equally, scoring rounds 9-9 is basically the same as scoring them 10-10, but the rules of the sport dictate 10 points have to be given to someone (barring deductions). Yeah, you can make up your own criteria if you want, but what's the point?

 

is it time the judges weren't sat at ringside?
and they should defo be brought in from outside the promoters remit, maybe some kind of lottery
some of the scoring in this thread is a joke

 

i ONCE SCORED A ROUND 15 - -3

 

Roy Skeldon lost his September 1989 Commonwealth title fight to Guy Waters by a score of 120/98 according to one judge.
