    There's been boo-coo threads of scoring in general. If we're going there, there's plenty of things that can/should be done or at least considered in an effort to fix it. If it wasn't a real problem, us fans wouldn't be bellyaching after just about every decision. Nothing should be discarded initially, as all ideas deserve some consideration.

    For starters, I don't get the time it takes between the end of the fight and the announcing of the decision. Sometimes we get some sort of explanation which doesn't fly. Honestly, how hard can it be to collect three cards and add the totals to the totals of the previous 11 rounds. Delays in this process, only to announce an unpopular, controversial decision, just add fuel to the fire and raises speculations of fudging or some other nonsense.

    We've talked about using 5 judges instead of 3. Now we're discussing .5 increments. They've tried announcing scores mid-fight (bad idea). Bottom line is there apparently is no authoritative body within boxing whose role is to fix these maddening problems once and for all. Yes boxing is tough to score... but it is hardly the only sport which relies on judges' appreciation. Considering the time and effort that fighters spend to get ready for a fight, it continues to be shameful to leave it up to sometimes inept, sometimes corrupt (sometimes both) judges, working with a system that could certainly be improved.

    There has always been talk of implementing new ideas to improve things but nothing seems to ever happen.

    Pod index rates judges performance & consistency but is relatively unknown.
    Judges having access to monitors to refer to has also been mentioned.
    Using noise reducing head phones to stop distraction & crowd influence.
    The use of instant replay to review and make a call.
    Anyone heard of Punchforce?
    There are many others. Unfortunately there is no one overall fix but some of these combined can help to improve.
