Boxing Scoring Sucks

The scoring system in Las Vegas always favors the money fighter. Pac looked faster and stronger than Floyd last night, chased him around the whole fight. The argument that Pac didn't throw more because he was afraid to get countered is laughable. It is equivalent of, if Floyd is such a great counter puncher why does he hold and run around to waste time. Why not walk him down if you can just counter him at will. Pac easily won last night and with one hand.

So Floyd should get deducted points for running but he landed more punches and power punches. He fought flat footed at times and came forward at times. I just don't see the argument. I've watched the fight twice now and it looked the same. Did you miss the straight rights from Floyd or the lead left hooks or the counter check left hooks. Also, what are people on about with the holding smh. There wasn't much holding in the fight at all. I know because I just went back and counted. People were waiting to use that excuse and it's invalid.

If boxing scoring stays like this, boxing would be continue to die as a sport. A lot of people really don't care who the judges score for, people come or pay to see a fight, not see someone running and tapping and win the fight. Tapping (powerless jab) is a score like straight power shots to the face? And no penalty for running and holding? You hear the boos and that is the evidence. I'm sure you have seen it too in many other fights like one other fight won by Rigo. If boxing has to be saved, another true boxing sanctioning body has to be created with a different way of scoring system, and with default loss records for refusing mandatory challengers that prevent cherry picking. Boxing is currently on life support or it may have finally died last night, for many people. I can guarantee you'll be dead before boxing will.

Funny thing is ali mostly threw his jab and I don't see people complaining about him jabbing his way to victory

Yeah we just had the biggest fight in history and have boxing on network TV yet its on life support. Sore losers like you kill boxing more than Floyd, Willie Pep, or Pernell Whitaker ever did.

:bottle::bottle:

Pac got beat. Floyd did what he wanted to do for the most part. Made it easy.

Floyd landed more power punches than manny. Your argument is invalid.

Pacquiao got out landed, and mentally dominated in the ring and no amount of crying from butthurt heartbroken fans will change that. I wanted him to win badly, but he barely won three damn rounds,get over it already.

Boxing is currently on life support or it may have finally died last night, for many people. Well said, I hard punch should always be higher in value than a weak jab. Say a power punch is 4 points to 1 pt for a jab. It should be 4:1 ratio. That way you don't jab your way to victory. It's pathetic. Running too much without trying to engage should be a deduction on points, so it will encourage fighting. And yes holding should be given a deduction if done intentionally to promote fighting.

Keep crying :bottle:
