I very much doubt you care about scoring fights honestly but why a private message? Just post it in here

Post badmouthing fighters stays top for months or a troll post but boxing discussion sinks quicker than the titanic

Who lands the harder more damaging shots should be taken into account. I don't care if a guy lands 20 backpedaling jabs in a round...a few solid power shots negates that imo.

Lol, sure. Which rounds did you give Kovakev past the 5?

In these instances the judge has made a mistake, however different governing bodies have slightly different rules with the points system but not the judging criteria.

It's not a mistake at all...the extra point is for the knockdown, but in some cases the knockdown doesn't automatically win the round.

All this was applied round by round in the kov fight and guess what the wrong guy won anyway cause ward didn't win more than 5 rounds, close fight or not that's a robbery.

The degale jack fight isn't a robbery because there was no loser but still a bad decision because degale didn't win 6 rounds.

So all cause it's a close fight doesn't mean it could go either way apply your criteria round by round and you should have a scorecard to add up for a clear winner, as far as the last 2 major controversial fights go.

Compubox also tells you how many punches and what type of punches the two boxers landed in each individual round. That is relevant and important because at least they are neutral even if they aren't perfect. Most of us already know fights are scored round by round and not by the grand total of punches landed. Many think Kovalev won more rounds than Ward plus he got the extra point for the knock down and therefore deserved the win. Likewise some think Jack won more rounds than DeGale and should have won a close fight.Defense is pretty much it's own reward. If you have a good defense it prevents your opponent from landing punches on you.
