It's a cliche in boxing that styles make fights, and some of the best occur between boxers with opposing styles.

To a degree, that sentiment can be applied to basketball, as well, though I'm not sure Missouri players or their fans would agree that the contrast in styles always makes for good games. In fact, the Tigers' contests against Nebraska, which plays a brand of basketball diametrically opposed to Mike Anderson's up-tempo system, have been some of the hardest to watch and win over the past few seasons.

I know you probably do your boxing stuff in games for fun and all

but they actually do allow for fans to see how the game goes from each media timeout. I love it.

Not gonna lie

I don’t understand the scoring system. I’d like a refresher before tonight, please (here or in the game thread).

Here you go:

http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/How_to_Score_a_Fight

There are typically three judges for each fight, who calculate points as follows:

If a judge deems that fighter A has out-boxed fighter B in a round, then s/he will score the round 10 points for fighter A, and 9 points for fighter B. If fighter B is knocked down by fighter A, and receives a standing count, then the round is scored 10 points to fighter A and 8 points to fighter B. If the judge decides that neither fighter won a round, then he will score it 10 points to each fighter.

If a fighter is penalized by the referee (such as for multiple low blows), then the referee will turn to each ring-side judge individually and instruct him to deduct a point for that fighter from their score card for that round.

The referee collects the judges’ scorecards after every round and delivers them to the ring-side commissioner. At the end of the fight, the points are totaled to arrive at a decision (win, loss, or draw).

    * If all judges score for boxer A then it is a win by unanimous decision (UD) for boxer A
    * If two judges score for boxer A and one judge scores a draw then it is a majority decision (MD) win for boxer A
    * If two judges score for boxer A and one judge scores for boxer B then it is a split decision (SD) win for boxer A
    * If all judges score a draw then it is a draw by unanimous decision (D-UD)
    * If two judges score a draw and one judge scores for either boxer then it is a majority draw (D-MD)
