    Alongside matchmaking it's probably the most contentious aspect of boxing.

    I agree. There are a lot of posters that post hundreds of comments a day that are noticeably absent from this PURE boxing discussion. No propaganda, no nut-hugging... Just pure boxing

    I entirely agree that this is a subject that needs more discussion. The scoring of boxing matches is an absolute nonsense. In my view, this is deliberate: just like the preposterous system of rankings, the more opaque and meaningless it is, the more open it is to manipulation.

    I've already written about this elsewhere, so I won't regurgitate it here, but anyone who is interested is invited to visit the link below.
