Number of Punches Determines a Winner?

[DARKSEID]

See, it's actually not clear that he was hurt. It's your opinion. You can say his point is disproved but it's your opinion, which proves nothing.

A guy like you would appreciate a more objective scoring imo. You want to prove and disprove but we all know, it's all just opinions. A system based on number of punches landed solves this. We could all still have our opinions on who won but we would still have the standard which determines the winner. Right now, it's your opinion vs my opinion. Neither of us will back off and both will think we are right when the smoke clears which is nothing but a circle jerk.

Number of punches landed= winner.

Hell, the winner almost always lands more punches anyway.

You either know what you saw because you're not blind, or you're blind.

I have zero doubts about who wins a fight because scoring a fight is not hard.

What's hard is finding three officials who know how to score a fight.

Another great point.

It's three opinions either way you cut it which is fine when those opinions agree with you and sucks when they don't.

Well, that's never gonna happen, man.

Haven't you given up on the judges by now? I did long ago, but this way, at least there is some objective goal. And let's face it, if two guys get in there and no ones scores a KO, not everyone is ever going to happy with what happens afterward, but at least this way, there would be some standard. Something we could look to and say, "Well I thought Fighter A did a better job but B landed more punches. That's how you win a decision." Right now, you'll get a different answer from everybody on what wins a decision.

If not points, there needs to be a more concrete standard than just "I thought he won."

Honestly, I wouldn't watch boxing if it became points fighting. Same reason I don't watch amateur boxing.

just let the rule be you win by knockout

Check out these numbers though.

Whitaker vs. Chavez. Controversial draw. The numbers? Whitaker lands 311/790. Chavez lands 220/637. Who won the fight?

Lennox Lewis' draw with Evander Holyfield. Lewis lands 348/613. Holyfield lands 130/386. Who won?

DLH vs Trinidad. DLH lands 263/648. Trinidad lands 166/462.

Looks like it tells the story to me.

Right guy gets the verdict. No controversy.

The numbers don't lie, my friends.
