You are right. Close descisions are not the problem.

But canelo/lara, kovalev/ward I & II or mayweather/castillo, this kind of nonsense has to stop.

That and a lot of people really don't know the scoring criteria properly

re Canelo/Lara, I remember people on here the night of that fight talking like they hadn't seen Lara accomplish anything at all and it was obvious that Canelo had buried him on points. It's all really a lot more subjective than people usually like to admit.

But there is still subjectivity. "Big punches," for example. Who decides which ones are "big," and how? And how do you weigh a couple of really big punches against several kind of big ones? And all kinds of other questions like that.

Please, everybody stop with that subjectiv objectiv whateverectiv there is. Its all nonsense.

Scoring a fight is as simple as cooking water.

You got 2 boxer in 1 ring

Who landed more punches
Who landed the big punches
And who landed more air than anything
And its its very close and u can decide than give it a 10:10 rd

That simple.

Lara landed clear good shots on canelo.
Canelo mostly landed nothing but air and
Lara easily schooled at young green canelo arguably worse than floyd did. Just because lara was cuban and no ppv star like usa floyd, thats why lata didnt get his win.

But lata won the fight.

3.31 Points will be awarded:-
For “attack” – direct clean hits with the knuckle part of the glove of either hand to any part of the front or side of the head or body above the belt.
The “belt” is defined as an imaginary line drawn across the body from the top of the hip bones.

For “defence” – guarding, slipping, ducking or getting away from an attack. Where contestants are otherwise equal the majority of points will be given to the one who does most leading off or displays the better style.

You'd eliminate the really goofy scores and the ability to fix a fight.
