It seems so... Lucas Matthysee vs Carlos Adam Jerez 20-12-2008 100 - 91.5 100 - 94 99.5 - 92 Any explanation?
Different sanctioning bodies have different rules. I don't know who has been the supervisor of that bout, but I believe all the major sanctioning bodies have ten point must system these days
Never heard of it. Perhaps some odd sanctioning body/commission has this type of scoring? Or it's a mistake.
It is strange. Although a split decision where the deciding scorecard is 114-113.5 does seem rather appealing. :: I'd like to see that judge explain why he took the half-point off after. ::
Sounds like one of those quickly aborted experiments in new scoring systems that pops up every couple of years in one state or another. TBF, I do think there's room for some more subtlety in scoring - more gradiation between a round that guy A pips and one guy B dominates, particularly. While we're on the subject I'll just reiterate that I think a KD should be worth ONE POINT, not an automatic 10-8 round regardless of the context of the round it happens in.
When Bugner fought Cooper for the British, Empire titles, Bugner was declared winner by one-half point, under the old British system, which was soon scrapped for the 10 point-must system.
It happens every single time. Invariably. As an example - the knock down in Vargas-Mayorga where Vargas was clearly winning the round then got flash KDd on his bum at the end of the round. I scored it 9-9 (10-9 vargas with the 1pt deduction for the KD), it was universally scored 10-8 Mayorga which was effectively a three round swing for a flash KD.
Argentina does the 1/2 point thing. From what I can tell, it doesn't make for fewer draws or better decisions. As a side note, the announcers on TyC are almost always in line with the winning fighter.
The did them recently with some WBA latino fights. I haven't seen an 11 rd fight recently, but probably within the past 2 years, for sure. It all blends. [edit] They are still doing them. http://boxrec.com/title_search.php?title=WBALAT&division=Lightweight&SUBMIT=Go
