A lot of pissed off people here.

It is the reason why boxing is ever declining. I wish they have a way of avoiding judges in sport. It is all subjective and biased. I just find it funny that they let these clowns judge the sport, or should we allow fans in the building do the judging? That would not be fare either right?

I'd do away with biased judges. I'd still like it if the compubox stats are put up to speed and be proven to be 100% accurate. And the judges would be given a live feed of the scoring based on punches landed. Obviously this won't factor in other considerations like effective aggression, kd/foul points etc. but it would help if it gets added into these other judging criteria. Also if a more liberal use of replays would be allowed that would lessen the subjectivity of the current system.

Judges give their scores and just vanish. They are never held to account for their decisions and that needs to change. If a student questions their test score they should be able to have it checked again, but in boxing you get your scores and that is meant to be the end of it. It is a very flawed system and ripe for abuse as we saw today.

Agree. It's just a case of knowing even if they make mistakes they won't be held accountable for it. I know most of them are highly respectable professionals who do this for the love of the sport but some of them are just notoriously attracted to controversies like bees to honey. And what's sad about that is that these judges (I'm looking at you Texas) aren't even subjected to investigations and just go on their routine on handing out half assed scores.
