1.They haven't got a clue - unlikely because they wouldn't get to that position in the first place.
2. They're on the take - Don't want to believe that and in the Canelo instance, why just 1 judge? after all, you need 2 to win the fight.
3. The judges are probably sat in the wrong place. they are right below the ring and not only can they hear a biased crowd making them think that every shot connects, but some shots might look like they connect when they don't. For example (sorry in advance Ross!) I can understand a judge at ringside thinking Eubank nicked it against Saunders (all the talk sport commentators also did on the night!). But watching it again on my own carefully with the benefit of good camera angles etc. it's very clear he probably lost it by 3 rounds, and I know a judge would see it differently to how they first saw it. in the 2nd half of the fight, Eubank was coming forward , but was connecting with very little and looked very crude. However, a judge could easily from the angle he's at think he has taken control of the fight.
My suggestion is that the judges are placed with TV monitors in a room off the main arena to judge the fight. No distractions, no commentary, just what they see. They're there to do a job , and that's the easiest and most efficient way of doing it.
for Obvious reasons, this can only apply to Televised title fights. for the rest, we're gonna have to make do with shit judging.
