The REAL DEAL.....

[arraamis]

In bull fighting, the bull is stabbed to weaken and then it is PUT DOWN. Your analogy is just like Holyfield's comparison of Ali/Foreman, not Floyd/Pac.

I only commented briefly on the process of scoring aggression.

Essentially, if the aggressive fighter is not connecting\scoring then the action is nullified and no points given. I don't believe any judge would or should give credit for aggression simply for aggression's sake, they must make contact with the target.

Holyfield is trying to justify giving credit for aggression, when the aggressor isn't even connecting on the opponent. If that were to become a valid method used to score a fight, then a fighter only needs to charge endlessly to be declared the winner. And that certainly won't work.

I get that but also, they are the ones attempting to make the fight. They are taking risk, the one standing there waiting isn't. There needs to be a reward for taking risk.
