I PERSONALLY JUST MISS THE OLD WAY OF SCORING.
I hope you aren't referring to the manual scoring that was done prior to the computer scoring. The cheating was high and couldn't be caught - remember what happened to Roy Jones in 1988. The scoring criteria for computer scoring is the same as it was for manual scoring - nothing has changed there. With computer scoring you can actually see if anyone is cheating.
TOO MUCH POLITICS IN BOXING.
Such as? I agree that the ego battles at the top level aren't doing the sport any good but those power struggles are not affecting the scoring.
THE WORLD KNEW WHO WON THAT FIGHT(the roy jones fight). THE SAD PART IS, WE ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!!!! I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID AND MY BIG BROTHERS WOULD BEAT ME UP, I WOULD COVER MY HEAD WITH MY ARMS. I WOULDN'T GET HIT FLUSH BUT IT STILL HURT. I WOULD GET UP (MAD OF COURSE) AND CHASE THEM. SO IF THAT WAS BOXING, THAT MEANS "I WON". NO, I GOT MY ASS KICKED. I BOXED A LITTLE IN MY TIME. PUNCHES HURT EVEN WHEN MY HANDS WERE UP, THAT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING. JESSE, WON THAT FIGHT!!!!!! HE WILL SEE HIM AGAIN!!! HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET CREDIT FOR EVERY PUNCH THAT LANDS.
I LIKE ARIAS BUT I'VE SEEN HIM OUTBOXED NUMBERS OF TIMES AND GET THE DECISION. AS OF RIGHT NOW, JESSE HAS TO WORK ON A FEW THINGS. REMEMBER I SAID THIS. HE HAS THE TOOLS, TO COMPETE GREAT AGAINST THE ELITE. HE LOSED TO TERRELL GAUSHA ON HOLDING CALLS, THE ONLY WAY ARIAS HAS A CHANCE IS IF HE KNOCKS JESSE OUT. UNTIL, IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS SOMEONE STEPS UP, JUST AS GOOD. " HE WILL DOMINATE!!!! YOU HEARD IT FROM ME 1ST. GUYS, I LOVE YALL.
