Message: [QUOTE="Big Del, post: 2853505, member: 9291"] Were you sitting in the seat the judges were ? Or did you watch it on TV ? The judges sit ringside . If the fighters or ref blocks their view they can`t score . They are as close to the ring as possible . The camera angles aren`t the same as sitting in the judges chair . TV distorts the scoring vs sitting ringside . So many fights the scores are controversial . Because we see a different fight to what a judge on one side of the ring sees . Scoring not only who hits the other guy more either . [LIST] [*][B]Effective Aggression [/B]– Being aggressive gives the impression of dominance, but unless the boxer is landing shots and not constantly getting countered, it’s not exactly “effective.” Judges look for effective aggression, where the aggressor consistently lands his punches and avoids those from his opponent. [*][B]Ring Generalship [/B]– The fighter who controls the action and enforces his will and style. [*]Defense – How well is a boxer slipping, parrying, and blocking punches? Good defense is important. [*]Hard and Clean Punches – To the untrained eye, it can appear as if a boxer is landing a lot of shots, when, in fact, most are being blocked or aren’t landing flush. A judge needs to look for hard shots that land clean. [/LIST] Horn would have scored better in the 1st 2 criteria for all but 1 rnd . [/QUOTE]
