If judges gave 10-8 & 10-7 rounds more freely, how would you score the fight?

[FrankieNYC]

If a 10-9 was very close and a 10-8 was a clear round and 10-7 was a dominant one ...........

How would you score AS/MB?

Me:
1: 10-8 Bisping
2: 10-8 Bisping
3. 10-8 Silva
4. 10-9 Bisping
5: 10-8 Silva

Bisping 46-45

Silva's knee came at the end of the rd. If he had another 30-60 secs to dominate, it might be different

 

[FrankieNYC]

Sorry, forgot to add that this was in response to all the post that said scoring should differ from standard 10-9

 

[iThrillhouse]

there were no 10-8's in that fight

 

[mikenason]

If Silva were to get a 10-8 just for knocking Bisping down on the ground with the flying knee.

Then Bisping gets a 10-8 in Round 1 for knocking Silva on the ground and ground and pounding him.

Congrats for missing the point completely!!!!

Then why not give Bisping a 10-8 in Round 1 for knocking Silva on the ground and ground and pounding him?

Same shit.

I agree, but honestly Silva was so inactive at times that if anyone was gonna get on it would have been Bisping.

Bisping was winning round 3 until the flying knee, great knee but not enough to swing it into a 10-8.

10-7 coz he also dominated the round.

There were no 10-8's the way judges score now.
My point was if they loosened the scoring more.
I read so many post that said that the scoring was to blame for Silva loosing and Silva dominated more in his rounds than Bisping, etc.

 

[MRDOG]

The same as It is currently scored. All 10 - 9 rounds. 3 rounds to 2 for Bisping.

The only round in the fight that was arguably 10-8 was the 3rd. In that case, I would have scored the fight a draw.

I agree there were no 10-8. If there were it would have been 5. But the difference in those two shots was huge. Silva put bisping out for a few seconds after his shot.

I get that, i agree with you, I think based on what you said Bisping would still have won.

You think 1 flying knee(as good as it was) could get a 10-8 round in a round that Silva was losing?

 

[po_thead]

ridiculous. but Bisping was winning the 3rd until the last 30 seconds I thought

 

[FrankieNYC]

Me too and by 1 pt as well. That was why I thought to thread it.
I don't see Silva winning even with a more loosened criteria for points

lol, Silva wasn't losing the 3rd round. At best you could say it was even. But yeah, I think that if you rocked your opponent, knocked him out and then your opponent was saved by the bell, you could make a case for a 10-8 round in your favor.

It was pretty even until the knee dude. No way 10-8.
It's an interesting idea. I still feel in the end there'd be some mistakes.

We often see a large event like Silvas knee and confuse it with the whole rd.

I agree the round was more or less even until the end, but Silva pretty much finished Bisping in the end of that round. I really feel that should grant you a 10-8 round according to the rules. Unless you think a 10-8 round must be granted when dominance was displayed throughout the round, but I don't think that's what is in the rules.

I see what you mean. I just think that since It was even possible even score for Bisping up until then. It is a 10-9. Had that knee come in r5 I'd be happy being 10-8.

Reason I wouldn't (as the rules stand right now) give rounds like that 10-8 is because then we'd have guys just waiting around not throwing anything then just trying to land a random big shot. It sounds fun in theory but there'd be so much waiting around doing nothing.
