open scoring, anyone?

[Fenster]

how about the argument that open scoring system helps minimize robbery and fixes?

How would it do that?

Open scorring is BS.

you know the scores so theres no way some a-holes can fix it somehow at some point of the game. just my thoughts...

Do you mean the judges? Their scores are collected after each round and given to the official scorer.

If a judge was part of a fixed fight, open scoring wouldn't make a jot of difference. In fact.. it would make it easier. Knowing EXACTLY where a fighter stands during a contest would make it easier to prevent yourself from being detected of any wrongdoing

I hate open scoring...they shouldn't know, and hell i don't want to either.

I'm against open scoring. What I support is a training program to show judges how to score a fight.

I do actually quite like it, I understand fighters running to defend a lead but it forces the opposition to press the fight as well.

The majority of fights that are one sided the fighter usually knows he is well ahead anyway, but if a fight is close and the scores are announced as level or close after 8 rounds the fighters know they have to press for the rest of the fight and can't risk running. De La Hoya may have appreciated it a few times.

I don't think it spoils the excitement of a fight it's quite good to be informed on how the judges are seeing it, and if a fighter is 2 down with one to go he knows he needs at least a knockdown in the last round, may make some fights better.

Def think that for every fight it spoils for the leader to defend his lead, it will make one more exciting as they have to press for a knockdown or a stoppage.

on the contrary, it would make the judge think twice before awarding the 10-9 in favor of his man when he should get otherwise.

when a fighter clearly lose a round and a judge award it to him. there would be an uproar.
