    This isn't amateur boxing and way to much is ballyhooed about HBO's punch numbers and percentages. If you were to count a punch every time big mouthed Lampley yelled BIG RIGHT HAND on a miss I suppose we'd all be well over in the fiction vs reality department in most fights. Fear the day when judges look to clickers and bean counters as opposed to the physical big picture and cause & effect of punches and clear body language to determine an outcome or the story of a fight. You want a bean counter that looks at a punch= a punch= a punch and its all vanilla, watch the Olympics.

    Amateur boxing's scoring is bollocks... You land a half arsed jab? one point... you perfectly time and deliver a massive punch and knock your opponent down? one point.

    If you've been working past a light jab to get in and land that shot then you want to hope that the punch was concussive enough to knock them out or that you have plenty of time left to finish them off when they get back up.

    Or else all you've probably done is wasted 2-3 points getting through their jab to earn a measly point and a further 10 seconds which you could have used to get those points back.
