How can anybody support that shit. The 2nd Bell-Mormeck fight was on its way to bein as good as the 1st, but that shit turned Mormeck pussy. The only possible positive is for the fighters to know if they need to press for a KO late in the fight, but flip the script and that tells the other guy he can quit if he's up. **** open scorin. We all shit on the WBA a lil bit ago about the whole super champ thing, but I forgot about this shit from the WBC.
Good points raised in the above posts. It basically encourages fighters to quit and results in them getting discouraged easier. I know the Peter-Vitali fight doesn't provide a great example given that a retard could have seen it was a shutout but it could potentially seriously alter the dynamic of a fight, and I don't think that is boxing.
It's shit, but usually when there's open scoring the fight is predicted to be competitive. Not the WBC's fault that the fights they used it in weren't competitive.
