Open scoring for DLH vs. PBF ( WBC right ?)

[The Texican]

What if the WBC decides to utilize the open scoring method for this giant clash between Oscar and Floyd? To my knowledge it is the WBC, afterall, the has implemented this in the past, and Oscar and Floyd are both WBC champions.

I would be very upset.

Open Scoring= Ginger Scoring.

I wouldn't like it. I would scrap the whole idea.

Think about these two scenarios :

1)In the 8th round, the announcer says that Mayweather is leading only by one point. We would have a lot of action after that, both fighter would know it could go a way or another.

2)Or, in the 8th round, the annoucer says that Mayweather is leading 7 rounds to 1, De La Hoya knows he needs a knock out to win, he puts a lot more pressure after that.

I know that it didnt work great so far, but Urkal and Ouma saw there was no way for them to win, both knew they could not knock the other guy so Ouma just tried to survive, and Urkal played dirty. I think it would be different with DLH-Floyd.

that would suck

dont worry though. Jim Lampley would head a petition against it. Or somebody would

[niceguy45]

wasn't that implemented by the WBA ?

If Floyd knows he's winning 7 to 1 he wouldn't have a problem crusing the rest of the fight. I hope nobody thinks this will be some kind of fight of the year candidate. Floyd will not stand and trade with DLH. Floyd just guarantees a victory.

I would love for either one of these scenarios to happen if open scoring is used, the problem is it's hard to imagine because open scoring hasn't improved none of the fights it's been used in, IMO.

The Cotta/Urkal and Taylor/Ouma fights were one sided, open scoring didn't matter. They were pretty easy to score, I think it would work great if it was used in a close fight.

I'm pretty sure the Nevada Commission doesn't like the idea, and I think they have say in the matter. There have been plenty of title fights in Vegas since the WBC started this open scoring "campaign," and none there have been involved, I don't think.
