What do ya reckon about this?
My concern is what fighters will do if they know that they can't be beaten by points (eg 2 rounds won in a 3 rounder). Does the person winning just start running, just hold the other guy, etc in the 3rd?Wow, it'll be very interesting to see the permutations of live scoring and how it affects the fighters and their corners in real time. Even to hear the corner conversations will be very intriguing.
Maybe, it's probably similar to what people already do when, in their mind they're already waaay up on the scorecards. But coasting or any potential mic'd communications from corners instructing them to do so will be met with extreme vitriol on social media, not to mention the president!My concern is what fighters will do if they know that they can't be beaten by points (eg 2 rounds won in a 3 rounder).

You're not taking risks when a W sees your pay double, etc.
Risk of a 10-8 round if you're running away?My concern is what fighters will do if they know that they can't be beaten by points (eg 2 rounds won in a 3 rounder). Does the person winning just start running, just hold the other guy, etc in the 3rd?

Good point. It'll be interesting.Risk of a 10-8 round if you're running away?
I think it would be pretty simple. If a fighter is deemed to be not engaging they get a warning, second time a point deduction. Same as an eye poke or groin shotIm not necessarily on board with live scoring, the system is what needs the overhaul, but aren't there existing rules in place to be penalised if you're blatantly not engaging with your opponent?
When would the crowd find out? And how? Announced through speakers, on big screen as the fighters are fighting the next round?Open scoring has happened in kickboxing and boxing. Both failed...
Worth noting though, corners won't know in between rounds who won so you wouldn't see the live scorecards until the next round starts at the earliest. They won't be able to tailor corner advice according to live scoring, it'll just take the excitement out of it for fans
I believe announcement and big screen in Glory Kickboxing. Rounds have started by the time it's happenedWhen would the crowd find out? And how? Announced through speakers, on big screen as the fighters are fighting the next round?
This is the next step for the UFC I think. Have $100K per card and divvy it out for every finish...Agree with you gigantic . Maybe double their pay if they finish an opponent
and take the judges out of it .
