Only if it's effective.

In other words, you want judging to be modified to fit your favorite figther's style.

I think it does in most places. Remember dirrell-Froch?????I thought the right man won, if you are going to counter and run, you need to land a lot more to win me over.

im sick of seeing fights in which someone wins a decision by fighting negatively, spoiling and landing punches with no weight behind them. Often people who fight against these boring fighters, dont look as if theyve even been in a fight at the end of it.
Boxing is an entertainment industry, thats the whole point of it, if everyone was boring noone would watch it and noone would get paid. So why should negative tactics be rewarded?
With the upcoming ward v kovalev fight, i cant see into the future but its pretty likely we are going to have one guy who comes to fight (kovalev) and one guy who comes to spoil (ward). In my view, how can someone win a fight, if they spend 12 rounds trying to avoid a fight? Its unlikely wards going to exchange with this guy at all, and hes never going to remotely hurt him cause his punches are as weak as piss. So why should he win rounds for fighting (or avoiding fighting) in this way?
So my question is, should judges place more of an emphasis in their scoring, on aggression and landing powerful punches? And should a knockdown be worth two points, not one?

it depends on judges ,some of them like this kind of fighters some not,but it must be effective ,look at Sosa vs Walters ,Sosa out worked him was active as **** but ppl say Walters should won so its work both ways.

Aggression is good but it shouldn't be rewarded more if you're not landing to the head or torso.

Are you Latin? Cuz that's the only way I could see someone thinking Sosa didn't lose.

im from east europe,dude i saw it like that no lie,i agree that Walters was punching harder and with bigger acc,but it seems like Sosa was punching much more,i didnt say he won,i said that his idea can work both ways.

i dont want to play this race games,idk whats up with this in US but in Europe it dont exist.
