Talking of incredibly bad ideas, I'm surprised no-one's suggested using punchstats.

Prizefighter seems to have a scoring system outside of professional boxing scoring.

That is because the whole thing is built round finding a winner, rather than having the "right result".

I've never liked the format, it's dumbing down to cater for casual fans.

They should get one of them arcade punchbags that measures how hard you it, then if the fight's a draw they wheel it out and they have a best of 3...... with Matchroom promotions providing the pound coins

I had it a draw TBH.

so did i scummer boy and if that was the case personally i think the winner should have been decided by who had the best trufffle shuffle

I watched a boxing tournament on Eurosport a couple of weeks ago where they have a fourth round in the event of a draw - they invoked it in the final and that seemed to work.

I watched that. The runner up was raw as a dog but he did have some power, ko's with both hands. Thought he might get the win until they announced that they had a "special result" - by which time he was out of gas.

Boxersd trainers managers need to vote with there licences and send a complaint.

Also the paying public need to complain you make boxing happen.

Trouble is people think oh well me saying something wont make a diffrence its this idea that stops things happining if everybody vcomplained when things like this happend it could not just be swept under the carpet

(i have complained btw lol)

Jon your right Everybody needs to write to the board But the problem is the board still will not do anything How many bad decisions have there been over the years and whats been done Nothing and Nothing ever will unless we have some sort of Union I think people forget we are the licence holders and we pay the boards wages We are the only Organization that doesnt have a union and thats why we are treated like shit and the board can do as they please I dont know what Robert Smith and the staff get paid a year and dont really care But i think its time for a change and all the licence holders need to stick together on this one Because that score of 30 28 was Bullshit that means Ian john Lewis scored every round to the boxer that was on his ass in round 3 ????? How does that work then I,m sure the board will come up with some Bullshit answer But I aint buying it .

Well, as you say, this is your opinion and it isn't one I agree with; I thought Reed won the second. Even if he lost the first two it was a draw. And if judges had to then say who they thought won the contest as a whole - a simple vote one way or t'other - I would have gone for Reed.

I thought Reed won the second and nobosy cant say he didnt win the 3rd So how did Ainscough end up with a score of 30 28 which would mean Ian John Lewis has him Winning the last round or drawing it The simple fact is It was a 10 8 round to Reed There,s no getting away from that Thats just giving people who slag this sport off more reason too I just want someone mainly the board to explain how you give a boxer thats down the round or a share of it ?????

yeah i fancied him from the start, but he was gassed as you say. I think they were beefed up kickboxers trying out normal boxing - as you say, very raw, but i quite enjoyed it.

How did you guys have it a draw? Considering there were 3 rounds and the judges aren't supposed to score even rounds in Prizefighter.

10-9 twice to Ainscough and 10-8 to Reed, probably.
