I saw a lot of punches that landed cleanly on a scoring zone that wasn't scored, some interesting fights though.

This is happening ALOT,its terrible,ive seen alot of shots landed,clearly,without them being scored

oh and a question,Andrade fights at 21:15 2mo,according to the site,what time zone is that? What time will that be in the UK

I've scored a few fights and sometimes come up with double the amount of landed punches than the judges are seeing, it's horrible.

Try this.

its because of the way they score, each judge has to see the ****** ass punch landed, and press it at the same time.

I know, they need at least 3 judges to press it at the same time to register the punch as a scoring blow and they haven't been giving much credit at all to body shots so far.

body work doesnt account for much in the olympics, especially if its outside the gay target area.

Some of the body shots do land inside the target zone but yeah, the target zone presents a very little room for the punch to land.
