Yep its crazy. The rigging of the "random" selection of the judges is a huge concern. The scoring in that final olympic qualifying comp was shocking and the fact that the poor scorecards are turned in by the same elite judges shows how rotten the system is. And all the solutions suggested around training is just nonsense. Either you can score a fight or you cant. Most of these scorecards seem to be decided before the fight starts.
