@jhazzroucher: The point system shouldn't be changed. It should be eliminated. Keep fighting until someone is KOed. No judges. No points. Win by KO only

Even Floyd loss in olympic games said he was cheated.
Even Manny also felt he was cheated on his previous bouts.
I believe other boxers felt that way too.
So the scoring system should be changed. Give the scores every round.
This way, boxers would fight their best every round since they know the scores.
everyone who contested their loss in boxing for the last years hasn't been overturned for any reason so why should it be any different now ? because manny was the better winner ?! i'm sick with that kind of racial prejudice especially with our race. manny was beaten by a basically more tactical fighter and the score cards show it all.
the only people who would benefit from score announcement per round would be the boxers who are giving away those punches and that's a moot point because they know very well how many of their punches connected accordingly

Please reread the title of the thread and my first post. Please reread.

because the people who are currently contesting the results in my newsfeed in facebook are majority filipinos who can't even accept the loss. the remaining ones are people who sees mayweather's personal life not his tactics in the ring
besides that point, why should it be an issue when the final score cards show it all ? and reiterating the point

@kyrees: @hyiena: Agreed. What does race have to do with this? A fight is supposed to be brutal. They call themselves warriors. Both opponents were still standing. Boxing has gotten soft. I've seen more blood, hits and injuries from hockey games. Two men enter. Only one walks away. Also, winner gets 80% of the purse. Losers don't get rewarded
@kyrees: but you're wrong. You can be Philippine and still have an unbiased opinion on the fight. You can dislike what Floyd does outside the ring and still be unbiased about his fights.
@kyrees: Honestly as much as I dislike his wife beating persona he did win that match fair and square. Once he's in that ring he isn't Floyd, the wife beater or Floyd, the racist or Floyd, the Christian or whatever because it doesn't matter anymore.

but i am expected to defend manny and dislike floyd because i am a filipino. it's a weird cultural thingy here.

and i share this sentiment but many people are not that objective.
@kyrees: @mandarinestro: Even biased people can make valid points. Just because they're biased doesn't mean everything they say is wrong. Most of the people protesting in Baltimore are black. Does that mean they're biased and not making legit points?
Still many, like myself, already knew that no one would be KOed and Mayweather would win by points. I read MANY MANY post of people saying the same thing and can provide links to those quotes. Boxing shouldn't be predictable. I think the point system should be ELIMINATED. Warriors don't score points. They either kill or be killed. Keep fighting until you are KOed and winner gets 80% of the money. Boxing is soft. If you can't KO your opponent then you shouldn't get paid.
I don't care about race or personal lives. I wanna see people get they ass beat
@pooty: then you are looking for the old days of boxing where people died in the ring far more often than now. there's a reason those were called the old days.
and honestly the biased people i see arguing manny should win point out the fact on manny's aggressive style. look at where it took him with marquez
This is why MMA is greater than boxing. True warriors don't run and hold their opponent in a real fight. Boxing has been a joke for years an people who pay a $100 for this crap deserve to be disappointed. Neither of these fighters looked like they were even in a fight. Biggest fight of all time? Lmfao if that's the best boxing has to offer this sport is officially dead.
@kyrees: every race supports their own race. Have you been watching the protest in America? The Mike Brown case. Whites supporting whites. Blacks supporting blacks. Still, i don't think a persons opinion should be totally dismissed just because they support their race. They may still make good points
@lone_wolf_and_cub: @kyrees: i agree with everything lonewolf said in post 39. It was called the GOOD old days for a reason. You KNEW who was the better fighter because only one fighter was able to walk away
@pooty: except in this case, this is one of those extreme ones that really needs objectivity because it will pan out to be one of those stupid racist stuff my countrymen mostly devolves to in the long run. i have seen enough of this kind of stuff happening with my countrymen being sore losers.

if people died more often then its going to change accordingly and i am talking about the early days of boxing were rounds were longer and gloves were thinner and certain moves were still allowed. of course the mid years are better but it was still sanitized because of the brutality of the early days of boxing.
@jhazzroucher: because it's mostly them who are contesting results and various contesting reasons have appeared. one of them is the scoring system in boxing.
if you are objective enough, the scoring system should have been addressed or challenged on a time period that is not coincidental on someone's defeat, meaning not now.
An image was posted showing mayweather hit manny more people still complain. Why do people just want mayweather to stand in the same spot the entire fight it doesn't make any type of sense. From the first round Floyd was hitting pacquiao. People don't like his persona that's why they complain. Can't please everyone or seems like you can't please anyone.
