Perhaps a 5 (or 4?) judges scoring for all championship fights with a majority win needing 4-1 and a 3-2 being a draw. what do you think?
They don't sit next to each other. It's SOMETIMES we come across a judge who doesn't know what they are doing. Some are in their 80's. But the word "robbery!" is overused and abused, some fights are actually closer than we give credit.
