History of the scoring systems, where? When?

Sugar Ray is King · 04-26-2012, 02:58 PM

I would like to know when the scoring systems were used, that is, the 5-point scoring, i-point and rounds systems. When were they all gathered under the 10-point must system that we see on HBO to-day? I do historical simulations and would like to know when the others became obsolete.
In the early days of TB, a list was given of where the scoring systems were used and that was a good idea. A note about that should be included in future versions of the game.

Had a quick look around (online) as not able to double check own sources. (Sure have more precise dates in certain book, will look when can, probably get chance at weekend.)

"10 point system didn't show up in a heavyweight championship fight until the vacant title meeting between Floyd Patterson and Archie Moore in 1956.

However, The United States, much less the world, did not embrace this new concept unanimously and switched between round and point systems into the 1970s.

The last heavyweight championship bout fought on the round system was the rematch between Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks (despite the first fight being on the 10 point system).

Both bouts occurred in 1978."

Hope that helps for the moment.
