Bad Left Hook Fight Scoring - A Suggestion

FanPosts do not necessarily reflect the views of the editors of Bad Left Hook or SB Nation. They might, though.

Iv only just realised that, has that always been there? Last sentence made me giggle like a bitch lol

As for the post, thats a good idea, don’t know how much work would have to go into it but SC might be able to arange somthing

I like this idea. It’s extra post-fight analysis and after thinking it over for half a minute, I am:

1. Ashamed I never thought of this before
2. Going to do it

We’ll have three-to-five judges chairs for fights. Generally, of course, I’m going to be one, since I cover the majority of the fights. Brick I’d assume will likely be in there as often as he’d like to be, and then we’ll have guest regulars.

The reason to go up to five for major fights is that assuming Brick and myself are both in the mix for that fight, that leaves just one seat open for people that might want to get involved. Five is the next odd number up and gives us three spots for you guys to fill. Minor fights (Sky cards, ESPN2 cards, etc.) might have just three, if three people are interested in doing it.

What I’d like to do is the regular coverage, and then the next day, have a post-fight analysis post about our cards. It’d be nice if we could get even short input from those who “officially” score the fight with us. You wouldn’t have to write an essay (unless you want to), just email me something with your score (round-by-round) and then a short analysis. Or a long analysis. Sometimes it’s going to be really simple, but you can ramble on if you want to, no matter how bland and easy the fight was to score, if you have something you want to say.

I guess for upcoming fights we’ll have a sign-up post or something like that. Those who would like to be considered for a “chair” can sign up, and once everyone’s signed up who’s interested, I’ll pick the scorers out of a hat, with scout’s honor that that’s how I’ll actually do it. It’ll be totally random, and I’m not going to limit how many times in a row someone can do it. If people want to contribute, I’m not going to say no. This might wind up with interested folks getting left out repeatedly while some are seemingly always involved, and if that comes up we’ll figure it out then. People will be free to decline if they’d like to, or if something comes up for them.

Great idea

But I wouldn’t be able to start for a couple weeks. There’s a small chance I might be back home in time for the Cotto-Foreman main event.

I’ll be far too sleep deprived during most big fights to create anything close to sensible judging, though!

I’ll do it one week. my scoring seems to vary some from scotts most the time.

I’d definitely be up for that. Great idea.

I like the idea dear Watson…
