Currently VBF is grading the boxing matches according to the system, how to do it?
– Mr. Nguyen Van Hien: VBF scored according to the law of the World Boxing Association (AIBA). This is the unit that creates the grading system, and to serve that, they order a factory in Germany, from writing software to hardware, to produce equipment. All tournaments in national and international tournaments must use equipment and score according to that system.
From the day VBF accepted the task of organizing tournaments, one of the first things we had to do was to order these devices. The set of equipment helps 5 assessments have a scoring machine to connect to the total device, thereby displaying on the screens.
Regarding Aiba's law, this unit always has updates and changes continuously. Sometimes AIBA has been marked according to the standard score coefficient 20, or the 10-point must system, sometimes changing the dots with each punch, any punch with the point, the dot for that blow. At the present time, AIBA uses the ten-point must System.
First to say, in a boxing boxing, it is impossible to have a draw, to choose the winner. The winner is marked 10 points, and the loser can be marked 9, 8 or 7 points. Maybe 2 fighters played very badly, but always had to choose 1 winner for 10 points. If the score score is 9-8, the machine will not accept.
The total score of the 3 rounds combined will produce results and select Martial Arts. The law now stipulates that after each half, the organizers must display points for the public to see, but 5 assessments for points and arbitrators are not allowed to know that point. This is to ensure the fair and carefree when grading for the delegations.
In the process of winning the Boxing championships nationwide 2022, we can see after the first half, and the second half, the points are displayed for everyone to follow. Even the minus points of the boxers are displayed. After the third half, the device will automatically calculate the general and supervision based on which announced the winner. The point of all 3 rounds also displayed immediately.
So, based on where to mark the score 10-9, 10-8 or 10-7. When a match where two boxers are too different from the upper radio, what should the referee do?
The current Boxing VBF is the AOB – Aiba Open Boxing standard. When a fighter is counted by the referee, lying on the floor or injury, it is not deducted or plus points as the boxing law of other organizations. The Aiba law calculates points according to the punch, the number of punches. Even when that punch causes injury, knock-out, causing the opponent to be counted, it is still counted as a score.
As far as I know, the laws of other federations, especially in the professional competition. The punches that cause damage, causing the opponent to measure the floor, counted are plus points compared to the usual punches. But Aiba is different, with the criteria of calculating the number of punches. For Aiba, the 4-puncher of punching will have more points than the one who hit one blow, although the one that can cause knock-out.
Unless the athlete was hit by a knock-out immediately and lost, if he still stood up and continued to play and launched more punches, he won. In case the boxers have equal number of punches, Aiba will consider a number of other criteria to determine who is the winner, the loser in that half.
Understanding more simply, each half of Aiba is counted as a match, always a winner of losers. The calculation of score 10-9 or 10-8, 10-7 depends on the judgment of the assessment of the score. The score of 10-8 is a clear difference, and 10-7 is too clear.
The score of 10-7 almost did not appear because then the referee will have to intervene. Aiba does not allow the matches to take place in an excessive punishment (2 fighters have too much different qualifications). With arbitration, one of their first missions is to protect the health of the boxer.
What is the current scoring system and disadvantages, sir?
According to my personal opinion, the Ten-Point Mustem System scoring system is a bit dangerous. It is only good with the professional boxing matches, where each match has 6 rounds, 8 rounds, 10 rounds, 12 rounds. At that time, the number of matches is high, the difference between the cumulative rounds together will be very easy to see.
The application of ten-point must System for 3 rounds of Boxing Olympic has some of the following limitations. For example, in the first half, the boxer in the corner of the Red Radio won but vague, no difference. The referees still have to choose the winner to give 10 points under Aiba's law, when the red boxer won 10-9.
In the second half, the red boxer still won but only punched more than the opponent 2 owls but the law still had to win them. At that time, the red boxer won 10-9. In the 3rd half, the blue boxer rises, rushing into the red boxer and winning, but to create a gap to the point of being graded 10-8, it is very difficult, 10-7 is even more difficult.
Why is the third half difficult to create a difference of more than the remaining 2 rounds? At that time, the physical strength of the two fighters went down, and they gradually belonged to each other's blow, knowing how to go to each other. In case of 1 draw, the examination will click directly to vote to see which boxers win.
Regarding such a scoring, we are currently overcoming by improving the level and quality of the arbitration team. But it must be added that 1 match has 3 rounds, each lasting 3 minutes but many situations occur, many punches back and forth between the two sides. Those who just watch and do not know the law may be difficult to understand why there are winners, the loser with a match that has happened as the example above.
To identify the most fair and objective way, viewers need to understand Aiba's law on how to give points, and watch the game Right from the first second of the first half. The boxers and coaches also need to understand the law To adjust. But from another perspective, I hope Aiba will change this law with 3 round boxing matches. It makes the referee sometimes fall into difficulties to handle the results.
What is the mechanism of VBF to ensure that the scoring is done objectively and fairly? Is there any mechanism to ensure that 1-2 wrong assessment cannot change the results of the match?
According to AIBA's regulations, VBF allows coaches to be allowed to complain after each match. In fact, AIBA only complained in world -scale tournaments, but VBF facilitates the opening of the teams allowed to complain. After receiving the complaint, the next morning VBF will invite the representatives of the two teams to come and see, surgery and grading.
In fact, AIBA only allowed a complaint with a half, complained about the act of arbitration or the testing point given. The complaint coach must prove which acts of the arbitration make the match “break” the result. Unlike Aiba, VBF facilitates the coach to appeal the whole match, surgery to review all 3 rounds.
The VBF has more open rules of AIBA on complaints stemming from the fact that we have to adjust the international regulations to suit the situation of Vietnam. This is also one of the things given to ensure the reputation of VBF, helping all matches to be public, clear and transparent.
But the opening, giving the complaint instead of complaints to make the referees more tired (laugh). From only having to review 1 3 minutes, now we have to watch 3 9 minutes, slowly spin, review each controversial situation to be able to make an accurate decision.
Thank you for taking the time to share with Thethao.vn! I wish you and VBF will organize more successful tournaments in the near future.
