Boxing WB World Championships 2025

Any sport that involves judges awarding scores is corrupt. Obviously, boxing tends to lead in this regard. One of the finals we lost, for example, was met with a lot of complaints from Brazilians, as usual.

 

But I found this competition to be fairer than usual for this sport, despite the Kazakh/Uzbek discrepancy.

In my opinion Brazil, was also almost robbed in the final by a girl from Poland yestarday: for me, they should have been 5-0, but it was just 3-2. Did you watch that fight?

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, they gave the Polish boxer a 4-1 win in the last round, right? Well, the Brazilian commentator was quite calm about that decision, so I'll trust it wasn't controversial.

 

But it's a problem because it severely restricts the sport. The average person can't tell when an athlete is winning or losing a fight, simply because there's no standard. It's not like judo, where a judoka scores an ippon and that's clearly a victory (or not always ). The problem with boxing lies in its conception.

Traditionally figure skating is the very worst

Is it possible to add an element of computer scoring back to boxing.

As in the person the computer says lands most punches in a round gets a bonus in the scoring?
