I think it will prepare a person better for a future in boxing then a system that say would reward KD's. A system rewarding power shots is I don't think preparing a person properly. A person may have that power, but still need to learn how to use it effectely. Plus swinging for the fences ain't boxing, that's brawling...and I think the system tries to discourage that.
My problem with it is that all the judges have to hit the button within a certain amount of time. This is very difficult to do when someone is throwing combinations.
Oh I agree the scoring system can be confusing...I think if say there are 5 judges, then 3 of them all have to register a button hit within one second for it to count...so yea, there is lots of room for human error. I don't know much about computer calculated and how that works...but would be interested in hearing more about it.
