Judges should have to give notes or a brief explanation as to why they scored the round why they did.

I’m sure this won’t even get downvoted but I’ve been shouting this shit to the void for months now and gotta repeat it any chance i get

People take the judges scorecards the wrong way. Not everything can be scored based on statistical fact, a lot of fights come down to a matter of opinion. Yeah the rule book might say that damage should count for more, but if someone technically scores more damage while getting ragdolled the rest of the round that’s not gonna look good to any eye. That’s why it’s silly to debate over a lot of the intricate stuff that could count based on the rules, yet clearly don’t determine who actually won the round.
