I think pro boxing needs to go to open scoring

[Robbie Barrett]

Nope. The crowd booing/cheering would influence the judges scoring.

I would like to see the winner of each round scored individually. That way the winner of the round would at least need the favor of two judges to win the round. Then whoever has the most rounds won, wins the fight.

This will basically weed out the clearly paid off judge.

I think this would go a long way to cleaning up the sport and making it fairer.

Exactly. I am for the scores being announced after each round.

[Robbie Barrett]

not a good idea. too many bias people will score the fight.. what's good is that when no one gets k.oed the result will be automatic draw.. that way every boxer will try their hardest to win.. no running at all..

GTFOH. You aren't even a boxing fan. What a ****ing tard.

It needs something but I am not sure this is the answer purely because I could see fighters having dominant rounds and it ****ing with them mentally knowing they had just had them scored against them. I have no other suggestion other than to just rid the blatantly corrupt judges/refs one by one like you would in any other profession

A silly comparison but I'd liken it to Fifa where you know you're dominating and the better player but the game is just dead set against you. Its practically pre determined.
Its this that leads to you getting frustrated, making more mistakes and forcing the issue. It ****s with you psychologically and no matter how hard you try to shrug it off you're just tense.
You know games where you have 80% possession, his keeper stops 5 1vs1s in rapid succession then a baby biting the controller ends up pressing the square button and circle as your goalkeeper just stands static and it pea rolls past him at 1mph, it just messes your head especially if you're a thinker and more strategic.

Yes needs more transparençy. You might fight one particular way as you think you're winning but judges have other ideas

Boycott Shoe Palace!!!

I think once you dig into one issue, you'll get to the heart of all the issues of Boxing, which is that pretty most aspects of the sport are totally bent for money. You'd think a single, world governing body would help weed out most of the issues by having a unified, updated set of rules and bring the sport into the modern world – but like FIFA you'd just have corrupt cunts working their way to the top yet again.

I still think that would be an improvement to what we have right now though. Seeing judges held responsible and audited for shit scoring, and the best being forced to fight the best for one world title in each division. It would also make boxing much bigger than what it is right now.

Open Scoring just lets the fighters know theyre getting ****ed already. Canelo/Trout was open scoring. Didn't help one bit.

Yeah if you had WARRIORS fighting instead of No Heart Trout it works. None of the GREATS if knew they was losing would just keep running it on 4th and 30...

[Combat Talk Radio]

Actually I think it hurt Trout. He changed his style a bit and became aggressive.


That's not his style.

This is the correct answer. Had he stuck with the gameplan, Canelo might have had two losses.

But that's the beauty of it. It still has the element of unpredictability - how fighters react to the information.

Manny might have actually tried against Floyd if he'd seen Floyd banking rounds 7 on.

- -Still didn't help Trout as he had no A game to begin with and done sack of sheesh since to prove otherwise.
