Wow. This guy (Blea) went all out. If only other refs owned up to their shitty decisions and even suggested more training and/or changes to the way judges are located... the sport would be a bit better off than it is now. It takes gumption to come out and say all the things Blea said.

Just like I'm not a fan of watching live fights at ringside... it doesn't seem that's the best location for judges, either. You're looking up into the ring... and your vision can be impaired by any number of factors. Blea explained it very well. Some may think he's making excuses... but he clearly blames himself for a job badly done. He's just naming some factors that could be changed in the future to make for better judging. Heaven knows boxing needs better judging like.... YESTERDAY.

I don't like the Sulaiman Mafia, nor do I believe any of the alphabet orgs are as blatantly bad as the WBC. But if Sulaiman is on board with improving the vantage points of boxing refs... that's a point in his favor.
