olympics boxing scoring system needs to be changed.....

My bad Kolya. I knew that atsch . What if they dropped it down to 2 out of 5? That should work, I would think.

 

It could. I personally like the idea of a computerized version of the paper scoring we use in the USA. Each judge just watches individually and clicks for what they see, and at the end, whoever has more of the judges seeing them winning wins. I've heard that idea tossed about more.

 

In addition, they could have one judge watch just one fighter and score his punches, while another judge does the same with the other fighter. We don't need five judges for cripes sake.

 

I do like the 5 judges though just because it ensures everything is seen from every angle. It's kind of a safeguard against corruption, or it's supposed to be.

 

I agree. The scoring was a joke. It causes the fights to a running game in the 4th round. Once a guy gets 3-4 points ahead, he would just run run run. I stopped watching the fights. Got to frustrated at the scoring

 

5 judges still didnt work. You had to have 3 judges press a button within 1 sec for a point to count. Problem is they cant all have a good angle at the same time.

Horrible!
