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.
Points are not rewarded for combinations as such.

If a flurry is thrown and sen to land with the majority of punches then a point is rewarded.

If two fighters enter into an exchange the judges wait until the end of the exchange and award a point to the fighter they viewed as the winner.
