    A lot of times we see defensive fighters basically walk backwards around the ring throwing punches at the aggressor.

    These punches have less power than a puncher who is coming forward yet they carry the same weight when it comes to scoring.

    Surely this encourages defensive performances and leads to erroneous results?

    Many times a fighter may have thrown more pitter patter, non-hurting punches on the backfoot and won the fight on volume of punches even though they carried no force.

    Any thoughts on a change in the scoring system?
    punches thrown are irrelevant to the fight.
    it is punches landed that count and make the difference.
