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.
I agree Russell was not as poor as many are saying but the majority of rounds were clearly dominated by Lomachenko. I think given people's different interpretations of scoring you could quite easily give the young American 4 rounds but anything more than that and you are either delusional or working for an agenda other than the fair and transparent scoring of a public boxing match. You are right also to point out how antiquated and compromised being sat ringside in one position is but remember that VT editors and TV producers will use selective angles also, so a monitor and a ring side view would seem to be a sensible starting point. That and a truly neutral, unconnected set of judges.
