Scoring Olympic Boxing

I was just thinking that same thing!! I don't understand olympic scoring...it frustrates me to watch it...I wish Teddy would define it a little better, but I honestly think he doesn't understand it either!!

 

Using normal criteria - must land in the scoring area with the white knuckle surface of the glove, weight of the shoulder behind the punch and while not fouling.

That said - 3 out of 5 judges must push the button for the same boxer within a one-second window to have the computer "accept" the point.

This has nothing to do with the "raw score" where the computer accepts every single time the judge pushes the button for each boxer. Raw score is always higher than accepted score.

Seeing a low accepted score does not mean that those were the only punches the judges saw. Those are the only punches that were accepted by the computer.

 

it ****en sucks and so do the olympics (boxing)

 

:roll:

 

Is it possible to getr points for a body shot? (Serious question)

 

i just watched a ****en sport i never knew existed, but i like it

water polo

 

Yes, it's just hard to score because it usually has to be in close and there are a lot of arms and what not in the way; makes it harder for the judges to see.

 

Been watching some of the matches and I have seen a point given for a body shot. Just watched a match between Britains Saunders vs someone from Ghana I think and Saunders scored a KO with a nice body shot.

 

at first teddy said no points for the body shot but ive seen points for body shots i think it a stupid way to score a fight

 

it's bs as trainers will now be telling boxers to go to the head only - you're not gonna ware someone out with bodyshots in 4 rounds!!!
