Basically it makes it power based.

Unfortunately this isn't the case.

This is why people scores Kov over Ward as they see it as the big punchers punches are worth more and it's why the people like me who take effective jabbing, punch misses and body shots into account. Because boxing isn't a knockout game, it's a hit and not be hit game.
Good to see some still count body shots. Many fans clearly don't. You can literally see a fighter weakening, begin slowing, balance failing from body shots and many fans "he didn't land anything". Ummm, he did if you watch the fight properly.

I think the fact people are outraged over a fight that could go either way shows that the best thing to do to improve scoring is teach fans how to score. Less outrage and more appropriate outrage is a good place to start.
