because I understand the game, and I have MUCH better instincts than you casuals
if I need to score a fight for some reason, I do so
I cannot believe that the guy who wrote this ******ity...
... is attempting to give someone advice about boxingI'll also tell you how I score them...generally give a 'full point' for a good hard clean shot...and a 'half point' for a punch that is a scoring blow but isn't necessarily super hard or clean.

save it, you little tosser... nobody thinks that you understand this game... you done wrecked that shltty account son, best you delete it and start again
start over, but this time without the mountain of fanboy rubbishComment

Bro you just admitted you hadn't scored a fight in years man...that's disqualifying from having a debate about boxing...I never really cared about your opinion on boxing but now I really just take notice of nothing you say on the subject.because I understand the game, and I have MUCH better instincts than you casuals

And yeah when you score a round, you are evaluating the punches that land and scoring them...not every punch scores the same...that's obvious man...exactly how people breakdown how effective a shot is, is up to them...but generally speaking, every pro judge in the world rewards better shots more, vs not as effective shots...feel like you're grasping for straws here bro.
Once again you make yourself look foolish in efforts to try and 'win' some fantasy debate, that you're really only having with yourself.Comment

Clean punches: To me, clean punches are the most important aspect, and the other factors are really tied to that. Take the phrase, "effective aggressiveness." How is a boxer effective? He's effective by landing clean punches. How about "defense?" A boxer shows great defense by not getting hit with clean punches. And, finally, the term "ring generalship." A boxer uses the ring to put himself in a position to land clean punches.
So let's focus on the phrase "clean punches." It may not be initially apparent, but there are various elements included within that phrase. First, there's the number of punches. The boxer who lands more punches generally wins. However, harder punches count more than lighter punches.
Now, there's no mathematical formula that equates the number of punches with the hardness of the punch. The judge has to weigh the two based on his experience. But more important than the number of punches or the hardness of the punch is the effect of the punch. For example, a seemingly lighter punch that causes a boxer to stagger is scored higher than a seemingly harder punch that has no effect.Comment

Lotsa words are less meaningful these days in boxing.
Robbery means you definitely deserved a decision down to you were in a close fight & came up short.
Exposed means your entire style of fighting &/or your attributes got shown to be a house of cards down to you simply lost a fight.
Champion means you might be the #1 guy in your division with all the belts down to being merely a top ten guy with some version of some ABC group belt.
Top Ten Ranked Boxer means you are one of the ten best boxers in the world in your division down to being merely one of the 25 to 40 guys that are ranked in the top ten of one of the 4 main ABC group rankings.
Boxing in this era can be some watered down sh^t.Comment

They even claim oscar-floyd was a robbery lol or maidana-floyd.Seems like that with every fight now that is reasonably competitive there are boxing fans complaining that the loser was robbed. Either some people have zero idea how to score fights or they are just extremely biased. Real robberies are fights like Pacquiao-Bradley 1, Whitaker-Chavez, Williams-Lara ect.
Not a floyd boggie but those were 8-4 for floyd.Comment

By your OWN definition, Pac/Bradley 1 was not a robbery.
Whitaker/Chavez was about keeping someone alive.
Williams/Lara - yes, that was a robbery.
Pac/Marquez 3 - arguably a robbery.
Wilder/Fury 1 - arguably a robbery.
Eubank/Schommer - robbery, admitted by Eubank himself.
Hopkins/Calslappy - arguably a robbery.
Foreman/Briggs - not a robbery, close.
Leonard/Hagler - not a robbery, close.
Mayweather/Castillo - not a robbery, close.
Mayweather/Maidana - not a robbery, close.
Pac/Horn - not a robbery, close.
Pac/Thurman - not a robbery, close.
Thurman/Porter - not a robbery, close.
Spence/Porter - not a robbery, close.
Joe beat Hopkins fair and square, in no way was it a robbery..
Talk about robberies, Sven Ottke was gifted some very weak decisions, his ‘win’ over Robin Reid sticks in my mind.Comment

See, I don't give a guy rounds just because he's coming forward flailing, no.
I also don't give rounds if you land one good punch in a 3-minute round where you were missing elsewise.Comment
