The problem I see with the scoring is that to an average fan it makes no sense. If the people who love the sport cannot agree then what chance the amateur?

Most peoplr I know think that ODLH won against Mayweather fairly conclusively, yet the decision goes the other way. So what do they think now?

It's corrupt...
It's confusing...
It's no fun when you can't see who wins, this is fighting after all...

In reality probably all three. This for me is the biggest problem boxing has, when the average fan can't tell who won why should they bother with a sport that is obviously over complicated and confusing.

I have to say we don't help either. Picture a new boxing fan coming onto this site to get the views after PBF vs ODLH. All that greets him is a debate between the two 'fan' camps with again no definative view. Again, if we the fans cannot know who wins fights what chance do the newbies have!

I can't think of another sport where so many decisions go against the 'public' perception of how the outcome was. Indeed the closest I can come is that weird scoring system in cricket, no one knows how that works either.

In my opinion for the fans to come back the scoring needs to reflect how the public at large see a fight. We can argue all day about skill, technique etc... but while we are arguing another fan is giving up due to the incomprehensible scoring.
