You regularly have commentators/pundits sitting together on the exact same table, so they have an identical viewpoint, and the benefit of monitors for replays and what not, yet they see a different winner.
Precisely. Some of the calls judges make are shocking, but a lot of shit they get is when they have scored 1 or 2 rounds differently then some forum poster has. we have no idea what angle he has seen the fight from. I was at an amateur show last friday and decided to sit the opposite side of the ring to a mate. The majority of the time we came out with the same winner but the amount of times we had scored rounds differently was remarkable.
