Nash's Guide to Advanced Boxing Scoring

[Nash out]

We all know the main criteria, but often what Nash lists below are the difference in fights.

1. Distance Covered - Example. Floyd Mayweather, AKA TBE, ran 2-3 miles more than his opponents every fight. That extra work on the run always impressed the judges. Can't hit what you can't catch. This counts as elite defence and is part of scoring criteria.

2. Subtle Work - Often not seen as effective as it is by the untrained eye, but let's use Canelo's schooling of Bivol (robbery) as a classic example of subtle work.

3. Invisible Work - Never assume by what you see as being all that happened. Invisible work is a thing and has decided many fights. A recent example of this would be another robbery. The rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Fury took the fight 115-113 on invisible work. That's why Fury was so furious with the decision. He knew he won. Without Fury's invisible work, Usyk won 116-112 or 115-113, but that the judges did not count Fury's invisible work was the reason the fight was scored incorrectly.

What is invisible work?

What is invisible work?

Work that you can't see, but it definitely happened. Tyson Fury, for example, knows he landed 100+ more blows on Usyk than the human eye could see, that's why he felt robbed, so it was essentially invisible work, but work all the same, just uncredited. Fury would not have felt so hard done by was that not the case, so Fury, even if not anybody else, knows what happened with the invisible work. Nash out - His Majesty

Plenty of other nuances, if the fighter you want to win is coming forward but walking into counters they're the one trying to make the fight. Alternatively if the fighter who you want to win is a low output counter puncher who uses their legs more than hands you score all of the slipped or missed punches of the opponent as if they were 3 hard clean power punches in favor of your mancrush.

Yes, 100% this is part of the criteria. Nash out - His Majesty

4. style. lets be honest fury just looks so cool in that ring. style also is heavily weighted and accounts for 99 percent of scoring criteria. clean punching i guess would be the other 1 percent

Yes, style is such an important criteria. Spot on with Fury. Also, remember in the first fight in Round 1 when Fury was pulling faces in the corner of the ring? That was worth at least 8 Rounds in itself, and people think Fury lost that fight? People do not know what they are watching. Nash out - His Majesty
