A lot of you all hate open scoring, and then go on and complain when they read the scorecards and they're completely the opposite of what you expected.
What most of you hate about open scoring is the fact that it would change fighters' strategies through the fight.
I think it'd be great if viewers knew what the score is throughout the fight. You'd knew if scores were fishy while they were being turned in. It's not like they can do anything about it, but they'd be able to brace themselves for the post-fight interviews. The primary issue would be to hide the scores from the fighters.
I can't overlook the fact that open scoring is perhaps a safer alternative to bouts than standard scoring since it will--more often than not--put the winning fighter more on the defensive.
