Who actually supports to the notion you must rip the title from the champ?

With Dirrells performance on the night he couldnt even rip a $5 hookers of the street.

Running around, holding, bending under the belt, crying about getting hit off the break? Dirrell aka as the ***** of the SUPER SIX>atsch

 

Yeah I know what you are saying, it basically implies that the challenger must have a convincing victory over the champion. Well in this era I believe we can call them belt holders.

 

I think it's nonsense. If you win by one point on a split decision, you still win the fight. As you said, the rounds are scored one at a time and you can't possibly think "well, the challenger won that round but it was close, so I think I'll score it to the champ".

 

I think it's complete and utter bollocks of the very highest calibre.

 

There is some logic in it, but I personally support the opinion that you shouldn't be able to 'steal' the title from the champ.
Your Froch vs Dirrell example is just what I mean... I scored it 114-113 Dirrell (7 rounds to 5 -1 point for holding), but didn't think he deserved it one bit. He totally stank out the place, and it's the same with the Mosley vs Mora bout.

I think the scoring method should be revised, so these fights end in a Draw more often. Noone should deserve to win a bout like that, period!

 

I think it has to a mix of these two.

 

I don't like it but it definitely exists.

 

If in doubt who took the round you give it to the champion. FACT.

You dont like it?

Go watch some other sport UFC or something...

 

If the round is so close you can't seperate the fighters, you score it even. That's the rules and that's the way it should be.

 

Not if it's a WBC bout... they don't do even rounds, so how do you score it then?

 

If Froch just stood in the corner there wouldn't have been a fight.

Frochs job was to defend the title, Dirrells was to take it, he didn't. Froch was the only reason there was a fight.

 

There are some things that are called the UNWRITTEN RULES.
This is one of them. Deal with it. Or boxing is not for you fella.

 

boxing isint always to pleasing on the eye but its an art, if its a fighter you love its great when it go's to the wire but the descion in the end is alwys gonna be difficult and draws are the most soul destroying way of ending a fight but someone has to win a smarter score system could sort it
