So why is boxing still using the same scoring system it did 100 years ago? Well I think we all know the answer to that, the same kind of crooks that ran it back then are running it now.
No more ringside judges. There will be 3 different panels of judges watching the fight and have access to the fight video, so they can see the entire fight at all times. Because bad decisions are the worst part of boxing. Its really hard watching a guy work his ass off, come with a great performance and get robbed.
I don't see the benefit of this. How many people are in each panel? How long would you alot for the score to be announced? Your comparison with hockey is an apples and oranges argument, a goal in hockey is a goal it's binary in or out. Boxing is a whole different animal, if fighter A lands 15 punches to fighter B landing 35 punches, fighter B doesn't not necessarily win the round. Furthermore, why did you start a new thread to counter a point I made on this thread?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
