As far as offence goes, economy, punches landed, call it what you will, is more important than activity, irrefutably. If it wasn't, you could just flail away all night and, apparently, win fights.

Pro boxing judging is not as simple as counting punches landed with the correct part of the glove, there are intangibles that need to be recognised.

How would score a round, that fighter (A), outlanding fighter (B), 25 punches to 15, only for fighter (B) to knockdown fighter (A) at the end of the round with his 16th landed punch?

I think you are suggesting; 9/9; but we all know it is going to be scored 10/8...

And generally the same would go if Fighter (A) threw 45 punches, landing 18, whilst fighter (B) threw a 100 punches, landing 15, the American judges generally would be attracted to fighter (B).

We can argue weather that is fair or not, and probably would agree, but I am guessing you are not a pro judge, neither am I, so it is not really going to matter, what we think, we are probably not going to change anything. So we have to deal with reality over idealogy, IMO
