Not all cycles are created equal. And this is despite the rubric and years of experience. But there are still some rounds where — if you can get them to accept it — let the referee be appropriate. We can all look at rounds and identify when one boxer is punching another boxer more often or harder. Or when they do significantly more damage. Those are not, or at least should not be, cycles that cause problems.
On the other hand, there are rounds that call upon judges to exercise their judgment. Although we would like to declare that we have adequately analyzed what happened in the ring. But some rounds will depend on the thoughts, beliefs and experiences of the referee.
Let’s take a look at those rounds and what you can do to determine the winner.
Jabs vs. Power Shots Rounds
This is probably the most discussed, debated, and analyzed category in scoring — and for good reason. By asking the question: “How many bullets can one fire?”
There are no CompuBox charts, calculus formulas, or equations to answer this question.
Referees must bring their knowledge of the sport and its mechanics to their decisions. For me, that means analyzing the power of both jabs and power shots. Components of a good punch include shape, body weight behind the punch, point of contact, and the boxer’s position when the punch hits the ground.
A good figure isn’t just about beauty. But power comes from form. When I studied taekwondo Our style uses the analogy of ocean waves. The most powerful waves are the ones with the best form. A good jab has the body behind it. The boxer makes his decision and is in position to land. It flickered with the power of its arms and was purposely thrown. Thrust by placing your weight on the back leg. feet ready to escape and performed tentatively should not receive much credit when scoring.
Power Shots, whether they be crosses, hooks, or uppercuts. Good body mechanics should also be used. That’s foot placement. lifting weight forward determination to fight and carried out with speed and power The boxer must cross into the neutral zone, risk being punched and must use torque to transfer body weight in the fight.
All of this happened in a split second. And definitely not. Boxers can satisfy some of these elements. But not all making it difficult to evaluate at that time And this is why these rounds are so challenging for the judges.
In summary, the referee should consider the position of the body weight. Determination to enter the neutral zone to throw. and changes in body weight and body torque in performing the technique. Feed all that information into an estimate of how many jabs equal a power shot and make your decision.
It’s not easy when the battle is near.
At first glance You might think that these rounds happen when fighters play it safe. Not a real warrior and fighters who are not committed That might be like that. But these rounds also happen to some of the best fighters in the game.
In a 12-round fight between equally competitive boxers, the first round, especially the first three rounds, It can be an emotionally draining process. Both fighters used caution. Assessing distance, warming up, and concentrating not to be caught quickly, they circle, paws gauging distance and their opponent’s reactions. and avoid danger Nothing hits the ground with force. The bullets were fired without many people behind them. and the fighters quickly grabbed him to avoid danger.
A skilled boxer may accelerate near the end of the round to secure victory. This is sometimes called “stealing the round,” which is a term I don’t like. Do boxers do more to win? If only a little action occurs throughout the round until one side wins. That was the fault of the other boxer who performed well.
In these unconscious cycles When a boxer increases his power, for example there are 20 seconds left in the fight. one shot or even the slightest bit of punching That was enough to win the round. The fighter was credited with winning the round 10-9.
Later in that fight, in the 12th round, there was a terrible contest. Someone must win the round by a score of 10-9. Both rounds have equal weight and have exactly the same influence on the final score.
The strategy the referee must employ is to focus closely on the first round and assess the merits of what happened. It can be frustrating. And in a championship fight the stakes are very high. In fact in every battle The stakes are very high for those in the arena. Each round has a separate entity. The scoring system is a scoring system and every round counts equally.
Remember when the final decision is announced.
Judges evaluate experienced and skilled boxers much more easily than novice judges. Experienced fighters use basic sound techniques in the correct way. And when those techniques land Assessing the damage is fairly straightforward.
When a boxer punches a windmill Throws a strange ninja shot, punching without any weight behind it. or using any incorrect techniques is difficult to grade. Of course, unorthodox punches can be damaging. But often they don’t do that. When they land The referee must evaluate technique as before. You’ll notice that four-round fights tend to have more difference in scores. And this is one of the reasons. The fighters had little experience. And their techniques have not yet been trained and refined.
Too tight of a clinch makes the fight unattractive. And it can lead to difficult rounds to score. A fight is not considered a scoring fight if it occurs while committing a foul. Therefore, punches and strikes are not considered as the referee’s scoring criteria. When two fighters hug each other and lean into each other. Throwing projectiles back and forth. It is very difficult to discern what is going on at the grade level.
When both fighters are aggressive Dealing damage and landing punches is also difficult. In this scenario The volume of activity makes it difficult for judges to assess further. Sometimes very busy rounds and knockdowns help the referee by providing a clear break point. At that point The referee may think they can relax. But if five seconds later Another fighter hits the canvas? Now the cycle has come back unclear.
The answer is to judge the entire round just like the fighter has to work the entire round. That means tracking every participation and constantly tallying up the votes in your head as to who will win. The Boxing Commission Association teaches when round one is stopped. The referee should know immediately what his or her score is. The referee must be present during that time. in action and in rating mode It requires deep concentration.
Believe me, enjoying a battle on the couch with a cold drink is the best. Petting a Basset Hound And listening to a TV commentator muse on the intricacies of sweet science is more relaxing than following every millisecond to assess every muscle. Shrink it and place it into the scoring computer between your ears.
good judgment When a round is difficult, it is considered hard work.
