Ring generalship: A purely subjective scoring criteria?

[erics44]

if a fighter throws 5 punches and lands once

and the other fighter throws 1 and lands it, it being a similar punch to his opponents

the fighter who threw more should be awarded the round

Ring generalship: A purely subjective scoring criteria?
Yes, it is.

Kabong started out perfectly illustrating this with :The way (I) view it. even though others posts didn't use the personal pronoun (I), they all proceeded in similar fashion.

Something Floyd stated that validates the complexities of scoring in boxing as opposed to soccer, basketball, baseball, American football: Boxing along with them are all sports, but boxing isn't a game.

The analogy of a hard punch vs a soft punch in scoring criteria for example: Does one negate the other? I don't think so. If a punch as soft as it is landed...how do I not score it?

My example of a soft score vs a hard score is in American football -suppose the Dallas Cowboys score 2 running touchdowns for a 1/2 of a yard (twice) braking the goal line---by the nose of the ball.
But the Green Bay Packers score 2 touchdowns running 85 yards and 92 yards, then do an end zone dance, brake out the cell phone and call their momma while the cameras surround them.

One team had 2 soft scores, the other had 2 hard scores. But hey...they both scored!!!

To put that in perspective of ring generalship.
Suppose the Dallas Cowboys dominated offensive time out of 60 minutes- by having the ball 40minutes to the Packers 20?

They IMO would have had field generalship or ring generalship.

But... time of possession doesn't deem them as the winner-- anymore than one who controls the ring 11 rounds out of 12.

Bernard Hopkins had TOTALL ring generalship vs Jermaine Taylor I, but yet he didn't get the win.

Michael Katsidis IMO controlled the pace of the fight, where the fight took place against Casamayor, yet he lost. Truly.

So I would say Yes ring generalship is a scoring criteria that is NOT absolute. It is not objective like knowing how to score in golf, rugbee, soccer or any other sport that is literally a "game"
