It is BOTH, depending on how you look at it.

Worthless thread. Shut your wang sucker and watch the fight.

Death, by wooden cooking spoon disembowelment.

Your childish attempts at baiting me into some gay internet "flame war" are about as uneffective as you are at posting something worthwhile. Cry me a river *****.

I dislike the idea. I think announcing official scores during the fight can sway people's opinions in the crowd, and at home into agreement. So rather than watch and decide for themselves, they can just agree with the officials and it rules out any kind of interactivity that we once had.

Also if a fighter is badly behind and they announce it, he may simply quit on his stool. Or he could go out swinging wildly and end up seriously hurt, just in an attempt to turn things around.

i don't think its a good idea ....if a certain fighter knows he is winning the fight big he will cruise and just go for the decisions....also when the scores are announced the crowd reaction might influence the judges in how they score the rnds.

Yeah i thought it would be cool but it was L-A-M-E! I think they will scrap the idea anyways.
