1/2 Points don't work

That was a painful watch.
I really feel that judges should just score the fight throughout as a guide and declare a winner at the end. Breaking the scoring down into 5 minutes segments doesn't really make sense. i.e. the first round in the Jimmo/Soku bout was a nothing round. Nothing was earned. Why score it in someone's favor?

that's what 10-10s are for
I dont disagree with a 1/2 pt system, but the fact is that there are still alot of shitty judges out there. Yes, that was a terrible fight, but I still don't know how Jimmo won a unanimous decision. All 3 judges??? wtf?

The fight itself wasnt a good one to utilize the 1/2 point system well IMO.

If you need to find a specific kind of fight to implement an entirely new system, then you are doing it wrong.

Well, at least a fight with action.

that will change over time, you're seeing more and more 10-10 rounds of late
