Only in America!

[ross]

Well, maybe some who could be bothered, possibly fightscorecollector, compile a list of fights that are supposedly robberies and find common denominators like judges, refs, sanctioning bodies, promoters, countires etc and then do something with info?

That's a heavy load to put on fightscorecollector but if he is willing it would raise awareness, at least.
I like the idea of tracking judges, especially those involved in questionable decisions. The "lone judge out" is also going to be helpful in identifying problem judges.
The most important thing is educating all the judges to the same level, in my opinion.

is fightscorecollector gonna rescue boxing in america?

i think the issue is what you see as a bad result i dont and someone else sees it a completely different way

in boxing theres no score so no matter what happens it will never be solved

in other sports the score decides

in 2006 england played portugal in the world cup quarter final, we absolutely battered them even after going down to 10 men, that game could have lasted 4 weeks and portugal would never have scored and england had a number of chances and all the play

the game finished 0-0, if it would have been a boxing fight england would have won every round on all the judges cards

we went out on penalties

If it was amateur boxing it would be like football, punches scored, goals scored and if it ends up a draw then you go through the three deciding factors LSD. Who lead? Who had the better style or who had the better defence. This is where amateur boxing is fairer than a penalty shoot out in football.

think scoring like in the ams would help?

this that would be as exciting as the professsional way?

Scoring a pro fight like an am fight, I dont know. They might end up like prizefighter bouts, just hell for leather which would be exciting but then the longer distance fights would still be fought at a slower pace but you could also end up with boring point scorers like how the britts are finally cottoning on at world level in the ams. Not exciting pretty fights and they would do nothing in the pros against tough opponents.

I do think its unfair to just have a winner and loser of each round. A 3 round fight in the pros, you lose 2 rounds, youv lost unless you can score a stoppage, whereas in the ams you can still overtake on points in the third even if you lost or scored nothing in the first and second.

I dont know.
