When did they reintroduce the 4 and 8 round public announcement of the scoring?

It it would be the local state or countries decision in a WBC fight to an ounce scores after the 4th and 8th round it's called open scoring supposedly to give the fighters more incentive to fight if we specially if one is behind ...get it???

120-108 Briedis for me (I'm not sure where the -1 in each score came from)

It didn't feel that one-sided, but Huck landed nothing of note and I just couldn't give him a round. Briedis showed some quick counters and nimble lateral movement, and I think that made it difficult for Huck to unload in his customary style.

6-3 Huck. Breidis gassing.

You should apply for a judge job...

Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen - For the vacant WBC and IBO cruiserweight titles, Mairis Briedis (22-0, 18 KOs) boxed his way to a twelve round unanimous decision over division veteran Marco Huck (40-4-1, 27 KOs). The scores were 116-111, 117-110 and 118-109.

With other titles belonging to Lebedev, Gassiev and Usyk, this means a clean sweep performed by fighters from former Soviet Republics, almost ten years after the same sweep had been completed in heavyweight division (by Valuev, Maskaev, Klitschko and Lyakhovich). - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/mairis-briedis-decisions-marco-huck-wbc-ibo-titles-results--115199#sthash.jLZ7hWX0.dpuf

Interesting. It works even if you include the WBA regular champion Shumenov. The WBA interim champion Dorticos is looking to upset that apple cart.

Still, there are two more fighters, who are bound to the green belt in this weight class. One is Grigory Drozd, the champion in recess. The other is Tony Bellew, an emeritus champion, who is injured right now in the aftermath of his historical win over David Haye. Plans for those two fighters are unclear at the moment, but chances are high that neither Drozd nor Bellew will return to face Briedis - which means that new faces of the division are officially here - in Gassiev, Usyk and Briedis. - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/mairis-briedis-decisions-marco-huck-wbc-ibo-titles-results--115199#sthash.jLZ7hWX0.dpuf

The WBC doesn't list Drozd as champion in recess anymore. I consider him "presumed retired" like Yoan Pablo Hernandez.
