In almost every sport athletes can read the score and know if they are ahead or behind.
Except many combat sports.
While you usually have a feeling how you doing point wise, sometimes the judges can see it totally different.
There are so many upsets that you can find multiple top 10 lists on it
I cant help but wonder if it would be beneficial for the athletes if they would know for sure if they are ahead or behind on the judges cards?
Some MMA matches can be quite boring to be honest and I can see that if one wrestler knows he is ahead that he could stall rounds a bit too much.
On the other hand it would push the fighter who is behind to go for the ko/submission a bit more as he knows that is his last chance to get his hand raised and interviewed by Joe Rogan if he lost the rounds before.
As I mentioned usually a fighter and his corner have a good idea how the fight should look on the score cards but if this usually the case why not have the score cards revealed after each round?
