New year. New calendar. New hopes and dreams for 2022. And in keeping with this season of renewal, my aim this week is to rattle off a list of the things I most want to see - or those that I most intend to do - by the time the year ends in 334 days.

and a wish that the speed of ears passing would ebb.

Why is the 10-point must system such a must anyway?

I get the idea that scoring a round with points – rather than simply saying Fighter A or Fighter B won it or didn’t – allows for the nuances of giving one fighter a larger margin, 10-8 or 10-7, for instance, in the rounds in which he or she is particularly dominant. And I’m not suggesting that a return to the old days to score by rounds is better way of doing things.

It’s not.

But what is better is this… rather than 10 for a round’s winner and 9 or less for its loser, how about 1 for its winner and 0 for its loser? Or, in the case of a round with knockdowns or particularly decisive sequences, how about giving that extra point to the winner – making it a 2-0 or a 3-0 round – rather than subtracting it from the loser for a 10-8 or 10-7?

In the end, a guy who wins seven of 12 rounds in a title fight and scores a knockdown while doing it would then be deemed an 8-5 winner, which is far more indicative – and far less complex – than the garden variety 115-112 result that’s understood by no one outside of the sport.

Lou Duva, went berserk when the fight was waved off by referee Johnny LoBianco; and Bramble entered the ring to Bob Marley’s classic Buffalo Soldier – it’s every bit as troubling to recognize I’m old enough to have attended 15-round title fights.

Dis article made me feel like I just got done listening to a HoneyKomb Brazy "Freestyle".
