Should the judges really score points on takedowns?
The way i see it when you are taking someone down you get a superior position and its what you do with that position that can earn you points on the judges scorecard. I think we see far to many close rounds ending with one guy taking the other one down, holding him down without doing anything and that gives him the round. So i say lets not award point to takedowns, instead give points for what a fighter does once he is on top.

Ofcourse if you do some big slam that hurts your opponent its a different matter.

What do you guys think?
