Normally when Manny Steward is commenting on other fighters Lampley will mention he's training a fighter they might fight so viewers know what the score is. Probably he manages to spin things for his fighter occasionally but how much effect can it have on anything? Not a lot I'd say.

As far as judges go I remember a fight in the nineties, I think Holyfield on a Don King promotion, and there was a scoring controversy and it turned out the judge in question (a woman) had zero boxing/sports background, had worked in the state government previously and had only judged a couple of fights previously. There was some connection between her and the promoter as well I think.
