I don't think they have "different criteria", I just think they value them differently. Lederman likes "going forward" fighters, Adelaide Byrd likes Canelo backwards or forwards, it's all subjective instead of "objective".

Originally posted by Tony Trick-Pony View PostI think the biggest problem with the sport is that there is no real objective way to score a fight. It's all subjective and often in the end, like this weekend, divisive.
So why not let the number of punches scored win rounds and ultimately the fight itself?
Obviously extra points should be awarded for knockdowns and punch numbers should be lowered when deductions occur but at least, you could say guy A won because he outlanded guy B.
I think this might be harder to argue with than the old "I believe he won the fight" line.
What do you guys think?
Yay or nay?

An interesting article about scoring, concerning Paquiao-Bradley. As the author states, judges have zero accountability.

Most would agree that Terence Crawford defeated Viktor Postol. The punch numbers also back this up since TC landed 141/388 and Postol landed 83/244.
Most would agree that Billy Joe Saunders soundly defeated David Lemieux. The numbers also back that up at 165/430 landed for Saunders and 67/356 for Lemieux.
Most would agree that Leo Santa-Cruz beat Abner Mares in their rematch. The numbers fall right in line with this at 357/1061 for Santa-Cruz compared to 208/931 for Mares.
The numbers get it right time after time.

In Tyson Fury's win over Wladimir Klitschko, Fury landed 86/371 compared to 52/231 by Klitschko. I think most would agree that Fury bested him. According to the numbers, he would have still gotten the victory.
Leavin this all up in the air to three "opinoins" is playing with dynamite as we've witnessed time and time again.
