Back when the fighters and the fans knew scores as you went along, it seemed like there were less sketchy cards. It also seemed like both fighters were more urgently working to get clear, decisive wins.
I asked this about two years ago and everyone was against it. But why?
Why would you not want to know whether you're about to see a sketchy card?
Imagine if Teo/Loma had open scoring. Do you honestly think Loma stays tentative for 6 rounds? I don't.
Now, imagine if Broner/Santiago had open scoring. Do you think Santiago wouldn't go full Chino on Broner to stop what appears to be a sketchy outcome against him?
So, why?
