Yeah, it used to be scored that way - three judges had to click the blue or red button within some fraction of a second of each other for the punch to score.

Now there are five judges, and the highest and lowest scores are dropped at the end of each round, then an average is calculated from the remaining three judges' scores. The BBC had some silly article suggesting that the change in the scoring system means the level of transparency has dropped, despite the fact that the new system is designed to weed out potentially biased judges and that instantaneous display of scoring is impossible with the new system.

Anyone notice the LoI jersey at the Tyson Fury fight?

Pajkic-Pikey and well, Pikey :-)

Awful boxing weekend, the joke that was the Pacman decision, saving Fury. Nonsensical all of it.

Big loss for Amir Khan this morning, thoroughly deserved as his cheating ways finally caught up with him. I hope he'll emerge a better fighter for it and stop this nasty crap like leading with the head and leaning on opponents necks. He's gotten away with it in the UK even as an amateur. Very good fight and the undercard was good, Timur Ibragimov looks washed up and (have to check) Roy Jones fought again and beat some punch bag for a title of sorts.
