Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

time for ukraine to make a protest.

 

:huh

Your title ask If we know how to score.
I honestly answered "NO"

I was expecting you to educate me.

(and for the third time, I never talked about robberies)

 

I hate it so much that I decided beforehand that I wouldn't watch any of it. Olympic boxing is horrible because of the scoring system.

Why not have it pro style with headguards and heavier gloves if necessary, 5 judges can even call the fight to hopefully gain a wider prospective... also costs more to bribe them haha

 

FFS, can you just explain how the scoring system works, please?

 

yeah, the sufficient power thing is the subjective part - it has to have impact but some judges get slap happy and will count the 1-2 shoe shines of guys like Khan (blitzing straight shots have more success in the ams than committed body work - and body work is only good for long fights, anyway). Thus, Bradley would score zero points in a pro or amatuer fight against Pac until round 10.

It's kind of like the tkd kicking criteria - it needs to induce "trembling shock", whatever that is, to get full points.

 

Ya I don't know how it works either.

 

From next year there will be no headgear and rounds will be scored on a 10 point must system. Confirmed by AIBA.

 

:bbb

 

i believe it is the five judges though.


**** im looking at the aiba rules .... the amount of bollocks on there is unbelievable.

 

He doesn't know. He thinks a standing 8 count gives an extra point.

 

So you're against people talking about robberies but you don't know how to score? :huh

 

I just made this thread as a spur of the moment thing.

Sue me. It's a god damn boxing forum

 

They gave a really detailed explanation with visuals yesterday on NBC. Scoring the fight individually is relatively easy. It's averaging the final judges scores that is ridiculous and makes no sense.

 

Nah I don't sue honest people :good
All good

Still strange...
