Does anybody know anything about any of the judges? Kind of like do they pay attention to boxing when not judging, how much boxing knowlegde do they have and things like that. After hearing the scores of some bouts, I just wonder if they know anything about boxing. Do these guys know anything about the current fighters. What the fighters tendincies are, how they typically fight, and things like that.
Most of them are retired garbage collector who has nothing to do but being drunk when not judging.

But Hes the straightest guy on this planet He scored it as He saw it
they should make the viewers of the match vote LOL via remote control and tv
or ringside controller things
I think it's best that the judges (at least one of the judges) aren't boxing fans in that same way that NFL refs aren't supposed to root for a particular team throughout the season.
If you were a fight fan and a judge it would be very hard not to slide a few rounds to your man.
Yeah, if I was judging female boxing, I'd quite like to slide a few to Laila AliQuote:
