I have come to the conclusion that, despite all my best efforts, it is impossible for me to win a decision in OWC. I have employed every different strategy imaginable but I still cannot figure out on what criteria the judges could possibly be scoring the fight. I try to stick and move if I have the height advantage. I try to outland my opponent. I try to land the power shots. I try to land at a higher efficiency and look for clean openings with counters. It seems that no matter which of these strategies I use that I still cannot win a round unless I get a knockdown. Anyone else have this problem?
Now I'm not saying that I am not having any success online. I am! I am 21-1. The problem is the only way I can win is either on a flash KO or knocking fighters down multiple times until they are out. I am an ardent follower of boxing and was an amatuer fighter for years. Normally in previous fight nights I relied on my boxing skill and was also the one to outpoint other online fighters. But now it seems that if I don't know the other fighter down then the judges are going to award him the round.
The worst example of this was in my only loss where I landed double the amount of punches against my opponent and knocked him down three times. Three times! You would think that would put someone in such a hole as to make it near impossible for him to come back on the scorecards. Not so! The judges gave him every other round and he won by one round. WHAT!?
The only thing I can think of is that I never throw those stupid haymakers (EA can say they removed haymakers all they want but they really just gave it a different name by referring to it as punch modifier. It's still slow and easy to avoid arm punching. Looks like a duck, walks like a duck...). Thus, after one of my fights I noticed it saying 0/0 power punches in a lot of rounds. This, I must say, is really ******** because if the game is only counting those haymakers as power punches then someone needs to watch boxing. In boxing, anything other than a jab is a power punch (right hand, left hook, uppercut, etc.).
So can someone help me here. How can I win a decision in OWC?
