    Boxing is supposed to be about the KO, not about the points. That's my problem with open scoring....it makes it about the scoring...as if it were basketball or something. Secondly...like you said, it alters game plans or causes discouragement etc.

    Regardless of guys like old PBF, Whitaker, Old Ali, Old Hopkins....boxing is still supposed to be about the KO. That's how it started and that's essentially what most fighters should be looking to do to their opponents. When you introduce open scoring....fighters are more interested in the scoring as the fight goes on. Changes the game.
