CC for that :DQuote:

I'm not sure why the system went the way it did bur it makes sense and it's not like it's hard to get 3 judges together. In England they still use the referee to score the fight a lot but in the U.S. it doesn't really happen. I'm sure it's a work of the commissions and TV networks to ensure better decisions because I know in the 40's there were quite a few referees paid off who scored the fight wrong. It's a lot easier to pay off 1 then 3.
Again these are just theories and maybe I'm off but it makes sense.
cause we all love the smooth too sexy Michael Buffer way too much to allow a ref to announce the decision ;)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... OK, OK... So we all basicly don't know... Well, as always I got some good insight if nothing else... thanks fellas(and the ladies that may read this) :D
There are no better hair plugs in the game my friend... CC ;DQuote:

I think there should be a judge watching on TV with a special feed that didn't have sound from the comentators. That is the best view IMO.
Well the judges are there live and only one judge can really hear the commentators since they are usually all on different sides of the ring. Actually, I would guess that the judges are all on different sides of the ring as the press come to think of it.
But watching it live is a lot different then watching it on TV and you can easily guage what punches hit and what punches don't without any problem. On TV that is not so easy.
