For the life of me, I thought in the amateurs you only needed to score clean shots while at the same time making your opponent miss. Tally up the scores and you get a winner. Thing is Ross, that's the only thing you're qualified at right? Scoring an amateur bout? Last I've heard the Pac and Tim fought under Pro rules. I guess your opinion doesn't matter either.Quote:

I k ow there is a difference in the scoring system between pro and am but I thought I could score a fight, I boxed 18 bouts and watched boxing regularly for years after but when I started training as a judge its alot different to sitting at home or im a crowd watching. Lots of punches dont land, or score. Im teying to get across that until you make any effort to learn how to judge a fight, you wont understand the difference between being a confused fan or someone who can score a fight.
What good would having boxed do? You said yourself it was no preparation for scoring a fight accurately.Quote:

How did the top-class "qualified" Adalaide Byrd score for Hopkins against Calzaghe?
You think Calzaghe pissed that fight, right?
She was wrong just like Jerry Roth;)Quote:
