And heres an idea for it.

Why dont they just say who each judge has winning? And NOT the actual score...

It should just quetly be shown in a ticker on the bottom of the screen and not said out loud so the fighters dont find out. Thats the only flaw imo.

The problem there would be that the crowd in attendance would not know who was winning.

They only tell the scores after the 4th and 8th rounds. Not every round. people seeem to not like the idea but I think that it is great. Imagine it this way. The heavyweight champ of the world is down by two going into the last round and needs a KO. He is swinging for the fences. If the other fighters start to run scared, many times they get into trouble.

Open scoring blows...really bad for boxing.
IMO at least.

Only reason why I dont like it is cuz some "soft" fighters out there and I dont wanna name names but if they know they are ahead come the championship rounds they may choose to get on there bicycle and run a marathon ( making for boring championship rounds ) for the last 3 or more rounds. Thats all I'm pretty much worried about.
