b) Television viewers (with volume off)

Personally, I believe that television viewers win here. They have the advantage of replays to help colour their opinion, however it must be noted that biased commentary does counter this advantage to a degree.*
I agree with your opinion. Mainly television offers a better view than ringside. The only thing missing is the sounds of the impact of punches. Ringside you can gauge better if a punch hurt the guy. My example is Mosley-ODH 2. Most ringsiders felt Mosley won because they could hear ODH grunting when he got hit.

I don't really think it is possible to make scoring better. It's always an opinion. No matter how you slice it. It's a beauty contest unless there is a ko.
