New Fight Scoring Method Suggested

Why are so many people up for keeping it at "10-9" must system.

It's ****.

Apart from Tennis its the stupidest points system around. And doesnt accurately dictate who won a fight. not even close.

 

This is an interesting conversation I found about how to improve judging boxing fights. I think it's pretty good so I thought I'd share.

I don't really like scoring the fight as a whole becuase it only makes it more biased.

 

I don't like this idea at all. You have recency bias coming in to play as well as stripping away what little bit of accountability there actually is. Now you can pinpoint the exact rounds where a judge fouled up; changing it to overall scoring makes evaluating the judges far more difficult.

If they were going to change something, all they'd need to do is go from 10-9 standard to 10-8 standard. Rounds that Bradley won would be 10-9, and Pacquiao would have had a few clear 10-8 rounds.

 

Pacquiao loses and everyone is crying about scoringatsch

"It worked in indonesia":roflatsch

Suggestions just keep getting dumber and dumber. Here's an idea. A commission oversees judging. Trains judges better, gets rid of ones who turn in incompetent scorecards. The 10-point must system could probably use a few tweaks but these radical changes are just plain absurd.

"overall preformance" atsch Please find a 4-way intersection and fall down.

 

this is not a good idea.
what they should be doing if any this is greater granularity. score each round after a minute that way you see when a fighter won 2/3rds of a round.

]that said i prefer it as it is

 

if the goalposts have changed then of course it would work perfectly.

 

I love how so many people are blaming the scoring system rather than the ****ed up judges. The 10 point must system is perfect and I can score any fight using it. Keep the 10 point must.

 

There's nothing wrong with scoring in boxing...the problem is with the perception of judges. Some people simply refuse to accept that they know little to nothing about scoring a fight and/or that watching a fight live, at ring side, in real time, with no replay, and no commentary is a completely different experience, hence it could create a different perspective.

 

Because there's nothing wrong with the system...if a fighter can't score a knockdown or knockout, then the guy who wins more rounds in the eyes of the majority of judges, should win the fight. Common sense really...

 

Exactly. There is a certain amount of subjectivity in scoring a fight. e.g. there is no such thing as a score being '116-112' and that being the 'correct score'. It's impossible for every viewer to agree.

Don't blame the game, blame the "player".
