Open Scoring

[mikeboxing]

I am against this . In the taylor ouma fight , I just felt real sorry for Ouma every time the scores were anounced. it totally discouraged him. Taylor also slacked at the end of the fight cuz he knew he is way ahead. There is no suspense

[El Kabong]

It could be good and bad.....if Floyd Mayweather Jr. knows he's ahead the rest of the fight will be boring as shit.....but if a guy like Cotto knows he's behind and needs a KO it makes it very interesting

Open scoring just a bad idea in general but if they are gonna do it, they shouldn't do it twice, they should do it once at the sixth round. The fourth and eighth kills all the suspense and changes boxer strategy. Letting the boxers no once in the sixth round is best. But open scoring is stupid. Lederman had a good point to, if the judges hear the other judges scores they might think something is wrong with their own. Fuck it, the second most exciting part of the night is the scorecards, I don't want that shit ruined. Boxing is killing itself these days.

In football when a team knows they're comfortably ahead they run the hell out of the ball to eat up the clock. No one hates football for that. If they know they're ahead its gonna change their strategy just like if they're behind they're gonna throw a lot more passes. That's what makes it a sport. You can change your strategy to fit the score situation. I think this would legitimize boxing in a lot of people's eyes and make it more popular.

F*** it, the second most exciting part of the night is the scorecards, I don't want that S*** ruined. Boxing is killing itself these days.

CC..I agree there should be one open score in round 6

Like the judges don't mess up at all. They are told to score the fight how they see it. I doubt the guy who made the fight an SD instead of a UD can't sleep at night because he thinks he messed up. They should do it more often that just the 6th round. When they bring back 15 rounders they should definitely reveal the scores at the end of 14.

The real issue here is that the Judges are effected.
The judges must be making unbiased and uninfluenced decisions.
When a judge hears the other scores it WILL effect his view of the fight.
Thats why they have to turn their card sin at the end of each round and are not allowed to talk to each other or see the others score cards.
It just makes sense. Its not scoring my commitee.
Maybe a 5 judge system for title fights and you need 4-1 to have a majority decision 3-2 would be a majority draw.-

Then they should do it kinda like the world series of poker. after the judges turn in the cards its shown to the viewers at home, the audience via tv screen that they can see and to the trainers.

I have no problem with that,

Manny Stewert has said before that open scoring has ruined ameture boxing. When one fighter builds up a decent lead, they will go on the bicycle for the rest of the fight. Removing all drama and excitment.

[Majesty]

They should just do it after the 6th round and that way its only half the fight

I now call the movie rocky 2 to the stands

[Saddo]

dont like it... for me the dodgy decisions and the suspence of how the judges have it is all part of the excitment...

ok crooked judges are fucking up the game but what is to stop them giving crooked scores after 4 rounds also and this may also cause a riot if bent decisions are given when the fight is taking place


if this becomes the norm i'll be turning my sound down to watch fights

[El Kabong]

The more I think about it the more I dislike the idea of it...I mean what's the use if it'll cause one guy to either quit or get on the bicycle I think the running away will increase fouls and decrease KO's.

Boxing needs as few rules as it can get

[Punisher136]

I dunno. I still say test it out for awhile, maybe change it some, and see how it works.
