I guess that's true but I mean it's changed slightly in that,now even if they miss the punches they are throwing,as long as they are throwing lots of them and are coming forwards,they get too much credit.

If you get time,watch Penelosa and Ponce and you'll see my point.How should they score that type of fight? The judges and Lederman had it for Ponce as did I but when I read lots of boxing commentators reports and scorecards,they had Penelosa.
I watched it live. You summed it up before, Penalosa was doing the eye catching work but it wasn't enough to beat Ponce's overall workrate and never enough for him to get the decision.
