    I think judges should be able to deduct a point for running away/not engaging.
    Technology will create as many arguments as it solves, even if they get to the point of montoring the fighters' brains

    Not a good idea. There is more than 1 way to win a boxing match. We shouldn't be letting judges reward or detract anymore than they already do. Running, or not engaging can be a strategy. Moments in the fight may dictate how a fighter employs those strategies. I realize you are not necessarily referring to fighting off the back foot, but if we give judges a mechanism to interpret running away and not engaging, there are bound to be some screwed up penalties.


    Effective aggression is already supposed to be rewarded.
