Most people dont know how to score a fight.

How would you score a round where the dominant boxer in a round suffers a flash knockdown halfway through the round after dominating but gets straight back up after an 8 count and continues to dominate his opponent for the rest of the round.

Dont tell me you would give it to the boxer that was dominated for the round by a margin of 10-8 ?

 

Oh dear.:roll:

 

Oh dear, there must be lots of dodgy results on your scorecards.:roll:

 

RoosterC, prepared to comment on how others score fights but not on how he would score fights.:roll:

 

By scoring even rounds the results would be more consistant, if judges think they must score a round 10-9, one judge could score a very close round 10-9 one way and another judge the same round 10-9 the other way, it can lead to a false result, results of fights would be far more consistant if even rounds are scored when the round was evenly matched.

Look at the example of Lewis v Holyfield that i gave, judges and punters scorecards were all over the shop, me and a friend of mine watched the fight independantly scored every single round of a controversial fight the same, because we happened to score what we thought were even rounds as even and when a boxer won a round, they won a round, that is why scoring even rounds will overall give a fairer and more consistant result.

 

So its settled then when a round is even it should be scored even, the majority of people dont have a scooby.
