This is how Whittaker/Romero II should be scored

[johncola]

The rounds shouldn't be scored numerically. They should simply be ranked as they happen. E.g.

Round 1 to Whittaker

Round 1 to Whittaker
Round 2 to Whittaker

Round 3 to Romero
Round 1 to Whittaker
Round 2 to Whittaker

Round 3 to Romero
Round 1 to Whittaker
Round 2 to Whittaker
Round 4 to Whittaker

Round 5 to Romero
Round 3 to Romero
Round 1 to Whittaker
Round 2 to Whittaker
Round 4 to Whittaker

The winner is determined by how that final bolded ranking looks. If either fighter wins 5-0 or 4-1, then obviously they win. But if it's 3-2, then it depends how the rounds are ordered. If the fighter who's 3-2 up has the top ranked round, then he wins. Otherwise, it goes to judge discretion to determine the winner, like the bolded ranking above. I'd score it 3-2 to Whittaker, but it'd be possible to score it 2-3 to Romero.

At least we know you're special. Not in a good way.

Nice reply. I guess you really proved me wrong.

 

[Weuylf]

Well, that's what a 10-8 round is.

No the outcome of the fight did that.

 

[johncola]

Huh?

 

[drbolony]

TS saw it like I did. 3-2 Whittaker.

No need to prove you wrong. Your opinion doesn't matter. Just like mine.

 

[Weuylf]

Huh?

You basically described the 10-8 Rounds without calling them so. They are given more weight.

Yoel won 2-3 because he had 10-8 rounds basically.

 

[Jdanois]

No the outcome of the fight did that.

Dude was robbed. Everyone knows it.

 

[Jdanois]

I actually can't argue with this

Sure but the point of this thread is to suggest a system in which numerical scores are removed. It'd remove the debate of "what constitutes a 10-8 round", and would allow the use of judge discretion to score the fight for the correct guy, or even just to avoid draws.

We'd just be discussing why isn't one round above another then instead of numbers.

True, and I don't have a problem with that. It's a more legitimate debate IMO

 

[Joshuaace]

You said you had tried dabs before.

Round 1 (10-8 Whittaker) Yoel literally did nothing
Round 2 (10-8 Whittaker) same as round 1
Round 3 : Draw : Whittaker was winning half way through before the bomb went off
Round 4 (10-9 Romero) : Whittaker out struck Yoel 40-15
Round 5 (10-8 Romero)
