Most people dont know how to score a fight.

Ah ok thats the only thing i was getting confused about, cheers bud

 

Two wrongs, do not make a right.

 

It is the way it was and way it should be today. Winning a title should be a huge deal and only given to those who thoroughly deserve to be called Champ.

Thus when the title changes hands, it is special and note worthy. Also it can lead to the champion being more active as he knows that he will be given the benefit of any doubt.

 

So you're in favour of more robberies?

In this day a title changing hands is never going to be special and note worthy because there are such a ridiculous number of fighters claiming to be champion.

Me? I'd rather see fair fights. :nut

 

**** me softly with a chainsaw that's a load of nonsense.
A champ should not be given an advantage just because he's the champ. It goes against all notions of fair play. A champion is only the champ if he's good enough to defend it. To get help from the judges devalues him as a champ.

 

It also meant champs knew they could muddle their way through a fight and keep their title.

Shockingly bad idea.

 

Its up there with duck and cover.

 

This what I think should happen:

All title fights that go the distance should go down as no decisions unless all three judges score at least two thirds of the rounds (eight rounds in other words), to one of the fighters.

This way, there would be less chance of out and out robberies. A decision win that is any closer gets panned by 50% of us so called Internet experts anyway, that the term robbery has lost all meaning in the sport.

 

If it helps get Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao in the ring together, is it such a bad idea that after 12 rounds of boxing it is called a no decision? We will have our own ideas who has won, offiical decision or not anyway...

 

You'd have so few results you'd kill the sport.

 

TBH I stopped giving a rats arse about that fight 18 months ago, certainly not enough to go back to the dark days of the "no decision" because of it.

 

The sport was doing rather well the last time anything similar happened (Frawley Law)...

 

In an era when three round exhibition bouts get recorded on a fighters official pro record, 12 round no decision Superfights, seem to me a bright beacon, rather than a dark day.

 

For totally different socio-economic reasons then to having a "no decision" policy in certain US states though.

You should know better than to try that line mate....

 

Now I know you're on the wind up!
