    Can we name some examples of judges actually favouring clean punching over workrate?

    Cos off the top of my head I'm struggling to think of any. It seems like workrate has displaced punch power as the 'ultimate equaliser' in boxing...

        i dont get how workrate wins fights..when the punches arnt landing..

        you're telling me if one fighter throws 200 punches and lands 8

        and the other fighter throws 30 and lands 20..the fighter who threw 200 won the round??

          Was thinking this fight also but the fact that it was a split decision and considered close made me not want to reply with that fight.

                  Judges arent scoring fights using compubox stats, when one fighter is noticeably busier it can give the impression that they're winning. Its hard to analyze every punch to determine their effectiveness.

                    Judges IMO lately have not been scoring fights based on the rules of boxing. I feel more credit is being given to the more aggresive fighter. But the rules state the aggression has to be EFFECTIVE and a lot times that is not the case.

                    The bold is true but these men and women are supposed to be professionals and do a better job than what they have been doing IMO.

                    Do state commission review how judges score fights to determine if they are still competent and what they do?
