Vlad losing round 5 10-8 is why scoring rounds need to be adjusted & not so absolute

[Sleepwalker]

You knock a guy down and you automatically given a 10-8 round, regardless if the opponent gets the better of you during the same round.

[TitoFan]

Yeah it should've been 10-9 AJ. Wlad clearly had AJ reeling toward the end of the round.

[powerpuncher]

That's just how boxing scoring is. In reality, it was an even round without the knockdown. AJ dominated the first half while wlad dominated the second half. The knockdown makes it a 10-8 round. Wlad did not dominate the whole round and therefore did not deserve a 10-9 scorecard.

[Master]

The scoring was absurd and no way was AJ winning that fight on points at the time it was stopped.

[BIG H]

Agree, Wlad was ahead going into the 11th but even had he made it through the 11th, he would then have been a couple behind.

[Fenster]

The scoring was perfectly fine, there were several coin flip rounds, and as this thread shows, people are undecided whether a single round was 10-9 or 10-8.

The Showtime bods had AJ in front going into the 11th and they scored the 5th 10-9.

[Vendettos]

Should have been 9-9

Wlad won round 10-9
Wlad loses point for Knockdown 9-9

Boxing is the most retarded scoring based sport in history.

10 point must system means it must be scored 10 points.

I had AJ 6-4 at the time of the stoppage. I was surprised that anybody had wlad winning. Most rounds were pretty clear who was in control.

No the rounds were close and I had Wlad in front. AJ was visibly tired and Wlad had the better accuracy.

Only in the mid rounds. AJ was in control the first few rounds, then lost a few, then got back in control. He got his second wind at about the 9th round and controlled it until the KO.

I thought wlad had won more rounds than aj and was surprised at the scoring

[J_Undisputed]

I Think AJ got a few rounds in the beginning where Vlad was trying to feel him out. Then the knock down punctuated it. Aj wore himself out trying to close and looked like he was going to drop from exhaustion. (Carrying that much bulk around with you and swinging big wears you out) Vlad poured it on .. So i thought 10-9 AJ for that round. After that Aj took a few rounds off where he stalked but only threw in flurrying counter opportunities because you could tell he was was trying to get his wind back (hence the spitting of the mouthpiece). Finally he got his second wind and Vlad was starting to slide because of him being worn out. From there it was only a matter of time , Aj throws in combos and Vlad was going straight back with his lead arm extended looking for a lazy clinch.

I thought Wlad started better and hurt AJ with a good right hand to gain AJ's respect. When AJ went full attack mode like 5th and 11th round he looked fearsome

10 point muxt system means it must be scored 10 points.

I don't think that's strictly true. For example, what would've happened if Wlad had floored AJ In the 5th as well?
Would it then be 9-9?
