When exactly did work rate become part of the scoring criteria?

[daggum]

prince******: what a perfect time for me to attention whore! and tell them about how great my boxing knowledge is



go log your CJ Ross out persona and go **** yourself

You're the one attention whoring in my thread right now, lad. Not too dissimilar from that time you spent all night posting messages on my channel in response to a bit of red k.



Now jog the **** on, son.

Im not sure you know what work rate actually means in the context of scoring a fight

It's got **** all to do with scoring a fight.

The numbers also tell us that Tony Thompson lander more punches than Wladimir Klitschko in their first fight, yet the actual bout itself was comprehensively one-sided.



Why do you think the fight itself was an entirely different story to what the numbers gave us?

poor example. klitschko knocked him out.

poor example. klitschko knocked him out.

He also dominated him on a round-by-round basis, so no.

I ain't quite sure if you've got a particular fight in mind, but I guess most people are thinking of the category of 'effective aggression'. Of course, merely throwing a lot of punches is not 'effective' if they are blocked or don't land, but even lighter punches can throw an opponent off their game, frustrate and tire or weaken them.

It's effective if it keeps your opponent from throwing punches back at a higher rate.

What part of the whole 'work rate doesn't factor into professional boxing scoring' do you fail to grasp? There's no sense in attempting to educate a dunce who seems content to continue citing a scoring criteria that doesn't exist.










Put your two inch pecker away and go instigate a circle jerk elsewhere.

You've done a nice job ignoring absolutely everything other than "work rate", you simple twit.

You keep falling back on "work rate" while paying no attention to any other aspect of the fight.

Keep showing your ignorance, champ.

Chavez intentionally didn't make weight, so that he could control the ring by being gassed after the third round, so he could land 3 big punches per round, so he could control the pace in a ninja like fashion, and be the ring general by getting backed up by the smaller man, while nearly having a heart attack. Master mind.

A plan only a genius could understand.
