Should damage be a bigger factor in scoring bouts?

Or we can score more 10-10 rounds. Too often fighters win a round without landing anything of note, usually in the first round.
So often you have swing rounds or 60% of fans scored if for fighter A. If it’s close, call it a draw and it would push fighters to press on the action instead of coasting to boring fights.

 

Ok precious.

 

Surely there is technology with GPS(following the guys around the ring) to measure/detect the strength/power of each punch landed relative to weight of fighters on fight night to be fair(bigger guys fighting smaller guys). Calculate the actual force landed and do the stats. Instead of just saying power punches, why not get more detail?

 

They can tweak it to measure the force for each round on punches landed.

 

Yeah, they could make use of the 10-8 round for one sided rounds with no knockdown. That's what I would do.

 

The judges score it according to how much they get paid.



Or laid.

 

Or paid and laid.

 

IMHO the fairest way would be to look at the boxrec stats (for each round) and then rate the fight (10:8 left for knockdown).
But that would also be absurd.

 

So, force could possibly count more than damage? What if you have someone with an iron chin? Guys like Golovkin get cracked and don't blink, but the punch was powerful. I think there are too many variables. Guys that are awesome fighters that lack power, guys with iron chins would be at a disadvantage. What about guys moving up. They may not punch as hard as the average guy in the new weight. Usyk doesn't hit as hard as AJ or Wilder. Is it fair his punches wouldn't count the same? No, as flawed as the system we have now, I think it's better than any other system we can think of.

 

If you give judges this power they just will not use it because they do not want to have an oversized influence on the fights outcome. Look at MMA which uses 10-8 in this manner. The knockdown is a clear and objective 10-8.

 

No problem buddy

 

That type of dominance throughout a round IMO is more rare than knockdowns........it's also very subjective and usually if someone is getting beaten pillar to post the ref stops while they're on their feet. If refs didn't stop how they now do, yeah I think maybe they'd be more common.

It don't happen that often because it don't happen that often..................

No round in that fight warranted being a 10-8 round IMO.............(and yes I think Loma won at least 7 rounds of that fight and should've gotten the decision).
