Comments Thread For: NSAC Approves Electronic Scoring System On Trial Basis

[tiliheels]

The WBO does rescores fights with a panel of 5 judges and it still doesn't work.

Boxing scoring will never be perfect.

wbo is likely watchin the fight in normal speed in only one angle at a time

if u slow it down and really count wat lands from each angle first
get a mental picture
then watch in full speed to see the flow of the round ..i think that would be the best way...

but it wont happen..we are stuck with 60 year old plus judges and lampley telling us things landed when they dont at all

Lol. Maybe

Just remember. If they get it right 100% of the time, the guy that the promoters, casinos, networks and fans want to win, will not always win. The way it is set up now gives the authorities to have control over who wins. Since that's vthe case, what incentive do they have to get it right? The house fighter will win when they want him to.

As long as they aren't using that idiotic scoring system that made a joke of Olympic boxing I guess it is worth a try.

Am I missing something here or am I the only one who actually read the article?

Nothing is being changed except that the scores are now being entered electronically and fans can compare their scores to the judges after the fight is over. How is this going to be an epic fail or kill boxing?

This is pointless.

Don't know about pointless, but it isn't a big deal. Having the judges scorecards entered electronically and on the internet (or app, whatever that thing is) should have been done a long time ago, imo.

That doesn't change anything

It would be a big deal if say 75% or greater of the fans could override a judges scorecard.

Otherwise its business as usual

It's not going to change anything I agree.

Letting drunk fans override scorecards will turn boxing into more of a popularity contest than it already is. That's a horrible idea

It's human nature/error in this sport. Boxing doesn't have the luxury or time for instant replay. There no way it'll work. Leave it as it is and make hefty fines and suspensions for incompetent judging.

But what sport gets it right? Not he NBA, NFL, MLB, NCAA or even NHL & FIFA competitions. They're ahead of boxing, but they don't get it right

It would be more of a democracy tho which mean less chance of corruption or being paid off.

True boxing fans should have a say. Maybe 75% is a little low but I've seen so many bad judges scorecards thru the years that something has to be done
