Scoring System

Statistically the current system is very poor. Simpsons paradox is the obvious citation. The easiest way to fix this would be, Each judge has a set amount of additional points they award to who think they won the fight overall not based on their card.

There was no robbery tonight.

I think perhaps us fans should put more pressure on commissions. People flew off the handle about Ross and she stepped down. Perhaps we need to do more than just complain online amongst ourselves. However I sometimes become so jaded and think everyone's a crook so I doubt it'd help, but just my .02$.

More judges wouldn't be bad, I also wouldn't mind adding half points so there is more variation in rounds, right now you could wreck someone in a round or barely edge them and they are mostly scored both 10-9, but if one was scored 10-8.5 or 10-9.5 that would give some difference in terms of quality of winning a round. That wouldn't help poorly judged fights but I think it would help in fights where fans feel a guy did way more in the rounds a guy won versus a guy who just edged the same number of rounds.

I did think about the audience choosing, but everyone would be biased. Man I gotta admit the if its not a knockout its a draw is pretty good lol

no seriously though the best method is this: use much more judges. Use 5 or 10 per fight. Because there's always a bad judge here or there so 1 out of 3 is too much and ruins a fight. But if you have 10 judges judging the fight like in olympic figure skating or something, then even if one judge is retarded like CJ Ross, chances are the rest of them will be good. Plus it will cost far too much for corrupt guys like Arum to buy out all 10 judges so corruption should go down MAn the boring ass fights would feel so stretched out reading out 10 scorecards but that would be a good idea. Imagine a robbery on all the cards lol

Who's going to pay for the extra judges? I like the draw suggestion better seeing as judges won't score 10-10 rounds if you put a gun to their head. So Byrd ends up with scores like 118-110 Froch-Kessler instead.

Yeah, just call it a 'draw' if any fight doesn't end in knockout. You can only win by knocking your opponent out

Stop using the same old judges. These judges with years of accredited experience turn out to be the worst over time, but the promoters know this and they're all happy with the outcome so nothing with change.

lol or get better judges, maybe the ability to rescore fights or something

With tonight's robbery it got me to think. Is there another scoring system we can implement to determine who won? We need to get rid of all judges.. I would say having the audiences text to vote the winner, but we've seen how that shyt goes in American Idol.. either that or inserting sensors into fighters' bodies and gloves to accurately measure punch stats?
