Open scoring

I was against it at first but it worked good in the Taylor fight. I thought it was a cool addition. But yeah, i can see how i can take the suspense from a close fight but now i wouldn't mind seeing the open scorring being used again.

For 12 rounders they anounced the official judges scoring every 4 rounds. I like it. I think is harder to steal a fight from a fighter, if he knows how crooked the judges are ealier in the fight(4th rnd). He will know that he has to pressure the action thus giving the public a more action packed fight. We 'll also get to know which fighters show no heart by coasting ( a la tito-de la Hoya fight) when they are ahead comfortably on the cards. This is a good point but I don't think it will stop hometown decisions because let's face it some of these judges wouldn't give a shit if it was open scoring or not. I'm against open scoring at the minute but just because I'm not used to it I think, maybe in the future (providing they continue to use it) I'll change my mind.

IMHO I watch boxing for the action and excitement, if I wanted suspense I would watch a movie.

It puts a lot more pressure on judges not to have retarded scores. It does take away from the suspense of things though.

The idea is iight. Not to crazy about it. Just leave it everything the way it is. Fuck open scoring!

its gonna take away a lot of excitment from future fights

well i want to see it happen in a fight, where fighter A seems to have a good lead, but when the scores are announces after the 8th round, its a draw. Those last 4 rounds would be MUCH more exciting then they would have been without the announcement. AND all controversy would be gone because FIGHTER A would fight out those last 4 rounds and try and win

anyone????

what does open scoring do exactly im confused about it.

Well it didn't really take anything away from this fight since we all knew the outcome... but in future fights it could easily remove a lot of suspense and could easily lead to boring rounds if a fighter knows he can't lose assuming he doesn't have like a 10-8 round against him. I just don't see an upside to it.
