Amateur Scoring

[dee_z_r]

I think the scoring system is fine in amateur Boxing. It's the guys doing the scoring that's the problem. I watched ABA the other day and the judges were looking around talking to people. it's no wonder scores dont get added up.

true that
you see alot of judges that are stindgy with the points

Being an amatuer fighter I think the scoring is flat out DUMB. I mean what is the difference between amatuers and pros? Headgear and the weight of gloves. That is all that should be the difference. If someone knocks down someone 3 times and the other guy slaps, runs,and holds ( I've had this done to me) and he get's the round it is a bit ridiculous. I can't believe some people think the scoring is good I mean people come on haven't we seen the last 3 olympics? It is just god awful they should get rid of everything scoring wise in the amatuers and just let people fight. The amatuer's ranks nowaday's are not preparing anyone to fight in a pro style by fighting this way it sucks. GET RID OF IT !!!
