Comments Thread For: Doing Away With Frustrating Scorecard Draws

[BrometheusBob.]

This was a good read. I'm not sure which of those solutions I'd pick.

I wonder what woulda happened if Wilder - Fury went to a 13th tie breaker round. I bet Fury woulda won it. Ah well. At least out of this draw we're getting a can't miss second fight.

Tired fighters take progressively worse beatings as the fight progressives, so I can see a legitimate reason for 12 rounds verses 15. As mentioned earlier though if the fight is a draw after 12 rounds, fight a 13th round or even a 14th round if necessary. With a ten point must system of scoring the 13th round should decide the fight.

They didn’t do 13 for the obvious superstitious factor, same reason you don’t see a 13th floor on elevators.

I’m against an OT round though, as someone who’s boxed in the past, it would be next to impossible to go 12 rounds, then wait the 5-10 minutes for them to announce the draw, and then get the adrenaline and everything ready for another round. You’re done.

Right....and even the commentators. I actually had Figueroa beating Molina, by a point or two. I didn't see Molina winning. Even though the commentators did. This sorta thing happens way too often.
