Sounds alright but I'm not a fan of the age limit they've imposed, the rounds being limited to 8 or less, and open scoring.

I also prefer watching fights with closed scoring. In GLORY Kickboxing, which uses open scoring, you can sometimes be 100% sure that one fighter needs a KO to win when the fight enters the final round. That certainty takes away some of the excitement, atleast in my opinion.
From the athletes side I get why open scoring would be nice, though

I miss the world boxing super series as a way to unify titles. It was a lot of fun.

Yeah...hmmm 8 rounds kind of sucks for evenly matched fights.
And the age limit is whack

I've always liked the tournament format but it has to be structured correctly. An age limit and less rounds makes it less appealing to me but I'll still watch it.
