A lot of pissed off people here.

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.
