If this is true, as most everyone has said (and of course this is better than having the judges keep their scorecards till the end of the fight)....... then WHY does it sometimes takes so long to get the decision? Does it really take up to 5 minutes to add 10 points to one fighter's score and 9 or 8 to the other?



And is it any wonder people become all sorts of suspicious when it takes 5-10 minutes to get the decision?
