Scoring blood? What do you think?

bad luck with scroing on blood i mean*

 

It makes a large impact in the opinion of A lot of people and lets face it the guy that looks worse physically appears to be losing. I saw many Vito Antufermo fights that his big forehead started to bleed and the were ready to stop it. I remember him beating Harold Weston Jr. all over the ring but a head butt opened the cut and they gave Weston the fight by KO5.....Blood has an impact with many....they were thinking of a skin shield for scar tissue so that old cuts do not open up. Holyfield and Lennox and Hopkins were known for head butts and hold and hit tactics but you need a sharp REF in there to detect and have the balls to take action

I do not count a cut in my scoring but the inept announcers we have to deal with these days certainly do.

 

Having a weak chin isn't necessarily held against you, though - unless you're knocked down or out.

There are no point deductions for being stunned or wobbled.

Being on the receiving end of a cut should not affect you in the scoring of a match. It can certainly affect the outcome (ie, blood gets in your eye and inhibits you - or the physician takes a look and ruled it too bad and you lose by technical KO) but it should never be scored.

You should be docked a point for bleeding no more than you should be docked a point for doing a chicken dance (so long as you keep your legs under you).
