Widest ever score after 12 rounds ?

120-104, 119-105 (twice)
The scores of the recent rematch between Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna and Ruben Eduardo Acosta

Wow. Do they still use the old half-point thing down in Argie, or is that only for domestic-level clashes? 'Cos if that's half-point scoring, fvck me...

& at this point I'd like to add I'm in favour of more use being made of the 10 points. Seems silly to have ten points & only use three of them, max. Something like 10-8 for winning a round, 10-9 for scraping a round, with each knockdown being a point off (rather than today's automatic 10-8 thing). Might change the pace & flow of twelve round fights, but I've been going off that for a while now.

Didn't one of the minor organisations use a 20 point must system for a while? I seem to recall that, back in the late 90s. If so, then one of them could technically be the biggest differences in scores perhaps?

I don't automatically score a round 10-8 if there's a KD.

If fighter A is winning a round fairly clearly, and is decked with ten seconds left, should there really be a three point swing? It's just lazy scoring IMHO.

Also, if a guy is battering the opponent around the ring (round 8 of Hatton vs Floyd for instance) - that's surely more dominant than just winning a round fractionally but scoring a KD?

I score a few even rounds - rather than just guessing or trying to find something that's not really there.... 10-9 should be for close rounds, and 10-8 for clear ones.

If fighter A wins most of a round but is dropped, score it 10-9 against him. Fighter B should have to actually win the round clearly to get a 10-8 I feel.

The WBU used it, but it was still scoring a round 20-20 or 20-19 etc. I couldn't see the differene from a 10 point system. Glen Johnson v Silvio Branco was scored
226-236 , 221-238, 222-237

Terry Norris W12 Sugar Ray Leonard.
Scored 119-103, 120-104 and 116-110 (absurdly generous).

I remember picking Leonard to win that one

ha ha yeah that's the fight i thought of.

that one judge 116-110.

Glad I didn't imagine it.

I thought Jon's reasoning was that instead of a 10-9 you may score it 20-18 and instead of 10-8 you might score it 20-16 or 20-17 so after 12 rounds you have a greater potential points differential, even for close or evenly scored fights.

236-226, for example, is a 10 point difference (sorry for stating the obvious) - Which in "normal" terms could be scoring 11 rounds to one guy and 1 to the other i.e. 119-109 - More or less a whitewash and not remotely close on the scorecards...but 236-226 could indicate a fight where it's 8-4 in rounds (which is what most scored that bout) but rather than there be a 4 point deficit i.e. 116-112 , there's a wider deficit.

Don't even know if that makes sense or not. I'm pretty sure his reasoning was to stop close-ish fights being draws or controversially scored.

Pretty pointless though.

OK this was only a 4 rounder but...was Gary Cornish v Tayar Mehmed really 40-30? O_o

[Freiheit]

Speaking of strange scores. Last saturday in Ghana that was scored: judge: Erasmus Dowuana Owoo 112-112 | judge: May Mensah Akakpo 110-112 | judge: Michael Neequaye 105-118

[Datsue]

Brandon Rios vs Ricardo Dominguez

98-95 | 100-96 | 94-95

100-96? I'm all for drawn rounds, but FFS!

[Bajingo]

On another note one judge scored johnny nelsons fight with allison rodriguez 120-119.... 11 rounds even one to Rodriguez

Must have been a classic.
