I don't think so. You seem to have ignored the point system. It is not much different than in MMA in the UFC with it's ten point must system. It is NOT old school points per kick, points per punch, points per technique. That is just wrong. I am sorry, but that is not the system in place.
The WCL, once again, uses a five point must system. There are three judges, and they MUST give five points each to the winner. They MUST give four points or less (from each judge) to the loser. If the fight is close, you see scores (when there are no penalties) like 15-12 (winner-loser). That is not all that different from the 10-9 per round system we see in most MMA.
But, here is the catch. The WCL is superior to the IFL in two important ways. The winner in a KO or TKO fight gets 15 points, but the loser gets a big fat zero (unless there are penalty points). THAT encourages the fighters to go out and strike hard looking for the KO or TKO. The other rule is the Passivity and Timidity Rule. And, both fighters can be sanctioned for avoiding and failure to show aggressive striking. I want that rule to appear in MMA. If it did, then borefests like Sanchez-Koscheck would happen far less. And, Koscheck would have been penalized for his backing up and avoiding conflict. |
