    The only I would change is giving more incentive (points) for KD's.
    With that much headgear, KD's in the Olympics might as well be KO's.

      No. I'm angry about Spence, Gausha and Waren's losses but I'm still having fun watching. I like seeing the talent that's out there especially from other countries that I'm not familiar with. The Cuban and Ukranian fighters have looked exceptional so far.


      But damn, I've watched hours and hours of fights over the past week. I don't think I've even seen a normal TV show or series in over a week. lol

        Lol, how about 3 points for a KD? Seems fair enough

          It isn't an accurate representation of the sport as it stands now. If it isn't an accurate representation of boxing then should it even be called boxing?

            The scoring system is a complete mistake and they have not been able to admit it. So fans and olympic boxers will continue to be punished by it til the olympic committee admits it doesn't work.

            It is a shame because crooked officiating was what needed to be fixed not the scoring process. Now however crooked officiating can be hidden and excused under a faulty scoring system.
