The problem is I see, other then the many pointed out in this thread already, is that the scoring system is designed to teach boxing. I think for the beginner boxer it is a good idea, as it rewards points based on contact, and usually proper contact. This promotes learning the sport from its basics.

I won't argue that what we are all seeing here is a farce. I'm disgusted watching it and can't believe my eyes. For giving true what I suggest in my first statement above, where are the points for the jabs, the body shots...the contacts? They just don't seem to be there. There is a obvious level of incompetence. As if maybe these fighters are too skilled for these judges to be able to interpret.

I don't know. I have defended the olympic style scoring based on my reasoning as stated in this post in the past...but after watching this debacle on the sport, I am losing faith, and fast.
