but did your criteria change in Jan 2017, with the newly implemented unified rules?It takes an absolute ass kicking to earn a 10-8 in my book, fight is almost stopped due to carnage gets a 10-8. But that’s just me lol
with all due respect, may i ask why?For me it shouldn't take much to score a 10-8, I always gave 10-8 more frequently than judges, even with the new rules (which seems to not have caught momentum thus far)
I did not say that I gave it 10x more frequently than judges, but mostly because this is all so ethereal, it's hard to tell, I'm just saying that I do think 10-8s should be more frequent than what they are right now (even with the so called new rules)out of pure respect, may i ask why?
i mean, if you've been giving 10-8's in your head 10x or 20x more often than judges, then your scoring must not jibe with official scoring very often. which makes it unrealistic, does it not?
this same question coudl be asked to someone who insists on judging an entire fight instead of using the 10 point system at all. and many sherdoggers seem to do this.
so i'm not trying to be insulting. i'm merely trying to understand the point of using an admittedly unrealistic judging system, even if it's only in your own head.
ya, i knew i was putting words into your mouth. i didn't mean to.I did not say that I gave it 10x more frequently than judges
but my main question still stands. if you think they should be granted more than they are, and in your head do it anyway, then you are using unrealistic judging criteria.I'm just saying that I do think 10-8s should be more frequent than what they are right now (even with the so called new rules)
i agree. but please, when a fight goes a way you don't like because you judged the fight in it's entirety and the rest of the world didn't (because, you know, unlike you, they are using the criteria that was agreed upon by all prior to the competition), then please don't complainThe 10-point round by round scoring is bullshit and they should judge the fight as a whole like they do in Japan.
If it's a competitive round, even with a clear winner, that's 10-9. If it's not competitive at all, or at least the moments that matter are all in favor of one fighter, that's a 10-8. If the fight should have been stopped but the ref is too busy fantasizing about "warriors" to end the fight, that's a 10-7.
