"Effective Aggression"

[King Ghidorah]

Berto beat Quintana, who beat Paul Williams, who beat Sergio Martinez, who beat Pavlik, who beat Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins, who beat Tarver, who beat Roy Jones, who beat Ruiz, who beat Holyfield, who beat Tyson, who beat Larry Holmes, who beat Ali.

Therefore, Berto >>>>>>>>Ali. YAY TRIANGLE THEORIES!!!!

Boxing has a clear set of rules on how to score fights. People one here making up they own rules on how they score fights. Now I see why people think certain fights were close when they were not. **** is crazy!! I am starting to think official judges are doing this **** for real fights also. Looking at some scorecards some of these judges can't be following the rules of scoring fights.

To me, things like "effective aggression" and "ring generalship" are excuses to score a round to a guy that didn't win it.

Clean, effective punches and punch volume are all that really matter to me when i'm scoring. I don't care if a guys pressing the action the whole time if he's getting tagged with good shots while doing it.

I agree. I guess the only real advantage to having these scoring criteria would be if you felt the round was a dead heat and you could then give the round for the boxer who pressed the action.

Effective aggression involves landing yes, but it's also equally about making the opponent fight your fight or run from you, controlling the pace of the fight. If your pressure and the punches that come with it are taking your opponent out of their game, then that's effective aggression.

Of course you do have to land punches to win rounds with it, but that comes with taking your opponent out of his game.

good answer here. agreed bojangy

Examples of rounds where you don't have much of this do happen, there were a few rounds between Judah and Matthesse recently where either they landed about the same amount of punches, not many clean but Zab was a little too passive and may not have been if Matthesse wasn't pressing and hitting hard even if many of the shots were blocked.

You have to score for someone and I don't like scoring too many draw rounds.
