So we agree that fights shouldn't be scored on facial damage, although facial damage is an obvious indication that punches were landed on the face. So what should we score fights on? One thing that Ward did really well is run. I think the fighter who runs away should always be given the decision, especially if he's from Oakland and fighting a few miles away from his hometown.
Facial damage by no mean is indication of losing. As human we all differ from an absorption of a blow because of our skin
And I think we should judge the the value or otherwise of threads on here by the level of butthurt expressed by the OP. You lost, KO1, round one...
