Open scoring

[gangland_kingpi]

For 12 rounders they anounced the official judges scoring every 4 rounds. I like it. I think is harder to steal a fight from a fighter, if he knows how crooked the judges are ealier in the fight(4th rnd). He will know that he has to pressure the action thus giving the public a more action packed fight. We 'll also get to know which fighters show no heart by coasting ( a la tito-de la Hoya fight) when they are ahead comfortably on the cards.

This is a good point but I don't think it will stop hometown decisions because let's face it some of these judges wouldn't give a **** if it was open scoring or not. I'm against open scoring at the minute but just because I'm not used to it I think, maybe in the future (providing they continue to use it) I'll change my mind.

I was against it at first but it worked good in the Taylor fight. I thought it was a cool addition. But yeah, i can see how i can take the suspense from a close fight but now i wouldn't mind seeing the open scorring being used again.
