Yeah totally, thats what i was thinking so i guess i agree with you and romulis. no need to invent a new system, just get people to use the current one as intended.

I think it's because of this, that makes scoring critical. I'm also all for 10-10 rounds but it seems to be looked down on. But I did see why a round shouldn't be scored 10-10 if a fight is so close that neither fighter did enough to take it weather that be through being a quite or competitive round?!


But then again I also can see how scoring rounds differently from close, to clear could work (just like the current one can work) & may be more accurate & the difference in big bouts.

How many times when a there is a case where the scorecards does not reflect the fight? Tough fights to score? Close, debatable or controversial fights?


I actually caught one of Martinez's older fights in Argentina and in the telecast they showed scorecards that were scored with 9.5 rounds. Can't remember which fight, but caught that in anothet telecast in a much older fight.

I'd be keen to see how this turns out for the WBA!
