Is Lisa Giampa as bad as C.J. Ross?

[holmcall]

She had it 114-114 in the Loma-Russell fight. WTF!!!!!!!!


C.J. Ross is a retired boxing judge who drew criticism for a series of questionable fighting decisions in high profile matchups, including Mayweather vs Canelo and Pacquiao vs Bradley.

It takes drowning nearly to death as an infant and suffering severe brain damage to be as bad as C.J. Ross. That bitch is either blind or she was tied in with some nasty sort of fellas.

114 - 114 was a disgrace and quite frankly it pushes womens involvement in sport back by years

[generalbulldog]

This is why women should not be involved in judging boxing matches, figure skating yes, boxing no.

[Silkeyjoe]

There are male judges equally as bad as these women. Theres also a shitload of men on this forum who cannot score a fight for their lives, so it is not a sex thing. I do think judges should have some experience with boxing (eg former boxer/trainer etc themselves before they can even apply to become a judge. Im pretty sure CJ Ross had none.

[J_Undisputed]

Well.. from one decision I can't say yes or no, but Checking boxrec, she has a history of these kind of decisions. Scoring the fights closer than the other 2 judges in most of her fights. With the benefit of her husband's experience, she should definitely not be making these kind of gaffes.

One thing I will say is it seems more and more common now for that one judge to go the other way, when you have a tough exciting fight. I dont know if: a.)they're paid for their vote and follow through no matter what the result so they can be approached again on another fight. b.)Are trying to keep the young names alive for the future of boxing or c.) trying to keep a shred of doubt there to justify rematch possibilities. Its probably none of the three or it could be all of the 3.

The more common explanation. She bit on the flashy shoe-shining by Russell, which had my thinking my TV was off or something when he exhaled like 6 times and threw 3 punches in those flurries.

Exactly, it has nothing to do with male/female. And moronic suggestions that it does serve no purpose other than to say "look, I'm a caveman who's never picked up a book".

She is a bit like Roy Hogson likes a DRAW.

Lisa Giampa is either incompetent or she was paid off by Al Haymon.

Russell hardly landed any clean effective punches. Lomachenko out-landed him in every round but one.

I scored it 118-110 for Lomachenko.

I had it 117-111

[Spicoli]

114-114 was scoring via braille while drunk. But it has nothing to do with sex. The only sex here is yet another fighter nearly being fooked by suspect judging in a system with no accountability. I had 118-110

[Beanflicker]

Maybe broads just don't know how to score fucking fights. Julie Lederman is good but she has it in here genes.

Remember Eugenia Williams scored the Holyfield/Lewis fight in Evander's favour way back in the day too.

That was the excuse Eugenia Williams used when Lennox for Holyfield the first time that she saw the back of the fighter and not the punches.

Chuck Giampa, Lisa's husband, works for The Ring magazine, which is owned by Golden Boy, Russell's promoter.

[Silkeyjoe]

I gave Russell, 3 rounds, a case can be made for 4.

Boxing needs to change. They need to use technology so judges can make more informed calls. You have to remember judges get to see it from one angle once. Its not so easy. If a boxer has hs back to you at the other side of the ring and you cant see the punches land you cant score them.
