boxing judges

[beenKOed]

Sometimes the judging is terrible and I wonder if the scores are for the fight I just saw! Having said the judging is terrible at times I still want the judges to judge the fight the way they see it. Nobody should be able to lean on them in any way. If they are making mistakes regularly they should be evaluated/investigated by their governing org. and retrained or fired.
There have been plenty of times when the comments of the broadcast crew have influenced boxing fans which has made a particular judges scorecard seem a lot worse than it is.
Judges are boxing fans too, which means they might like a particular fighting style better. It's a rare occasion for me to read and agree with everyone's opinion about a fight. I know a lot of you probably think beenKOed is an idiot when I say something about the way a fight is going! Guess what? I think the same thing about some of your comments. Lately I've been asking myself what the hell kind of F*CKERY is this turkey trying to pull on us with that comment. I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right, I'm saying I don't think the judging is as bad as some of us think.
Sometimes it really is terrible and I wonder if money has changed hands.

There is so much inconsistancy in officiating Some Judges sometimes turn in ludicrous horrendous scorecards yet nothing is done others get punished
EG.. CJ Ross scored Floyd-Canelo 114-114 & gets fired for it
Dave Moretti turns in 118-110 in Floyd- Pac? Ignored


Many judges who turn in these ludicrous cards have been judging for years & obviously must know what they are doing which is why they look suspect & corrupt. A fighter puts his life on the line every time he climbs in the ring he at least should be able to expect a fair fight & an honest decision every time Sadly many do get the that

118-110 in Floyd-Pacquiao is a defensible score, Manny did dick all in that fight and only had a couple of moments. 114-114 in Floyd-Canelo is a complete joke, the two cards are night and day and anyone who isn't a cheerleader knows that.

Do you HONESTLY think Mayweather won 10 rounds to 2 in that debacle?? No way in hell. He did Nothing but run & hold for 12 rounds. Even his own trainer/father told him he was losing the fight because he was fighting scared. Manny was seriously injured fighting in pain he had an excuse Mayweather was caught pre fight CHEATING!! getting illegal excessive saline drips why did he need to cheat. I think we all know the real answer to that question

Ever notice how some threads which have had a healthy and sometimes heated debate going in them, just die off after certain posters insert themselves and their idiotic ideas..?

There is no accountability and they often remain anonymous regardless of outrage. Though the wbc has reversed a few decisions this year and suspended some judges and ordered them "retrained". As simple as it sounds I've always said introduce them standing at ringside. When the decision is determined they stand ring center and read it aloud themselves. Put the light on them. If that doesn't work do something crazy like having a review board and job performance assessment and fire the ones who cannot do the job. Like just about every job we know of.

Do you honestly feed and dress yourself? Say you're right, MAnny was injured and Floyd cheated, is that supposed to change the way it was scored? I didn't like the way Floyd fought, thought he could have done a lot more, but the fact is Manny did even less in almost every round. I believe I had it 9-3, so I can easily see a 10-2 score. You could count the significant punches Manny landed in the whole fight on one hand. What did you score it, 10-2 for Manny?

What Emanuel Augustus fight did Teddy Atlas lose it when the judges score were announced?


One of the few times I agree with an atlas rant.

But you are right Walrus, this topic still burns us as fans.

Think that was the first fight with Courtney Burton. One of the worst jobs you'll see by a ref also. Teddy fookin blew up all over anything near and confronted commission official and judge Absolutely great tv. Say what you want about Atlas, the man oozes passion

I actually scored it 115-113 to Mayweather. It was a hard fight to score Pacquaio tried to make it a fight but Mayweather ran & held as usual. With one fighter injured & the other caught red handed cheating the whole thing was a rip off
