There should be mandatory reviews and evaluations not only in close fights but all fights a Judge AND referee are assigned as often they are tasked with both.I dont know how often this happens on the same card but it should not happen.Commissions must hold its representatives accountable!
A judges history should be treated like a complete resume and followed accordingly,are their patterns,what past scores were tallied with same fighters....hometown fighters or even a fighters style.Boxing has always shot itself in the foot 12 times without reloading once and while it should never be shrugged off and treated with an "ohhh well" mentality you cannot forget that fighters are complete contrasts,especially last night.One in reverse the majority of the time ...ring generalship,controlled boxingand one plugging forward mostly...effective aggression,forcing a pace
Paulie might as well have put a scarlet letter on his chest going in and he made it personal before the cards were even handed in.
