Because it's not as though the judges have the luxury of doing that and seemingly it would be the way to score if for Williams. Lara was so clearly the ring general and landing all the more telling punches to me, Williams head was being snapped back the entire fight and his footwork was so poor in comparison. I'll admit I only watched it live in real time though, but it was almost impossible to give Williams more than 2 rounds after the third(when I started watching).

No, they don't. But they are trained professionals and like chess masters can see at a glance what ordinary players would take several minutes to calculate, if at all.

With the introduction of frame by frame reverse play it's possible to be completely objective and I often find such post fight analysis actually confirms the judges intuition during the live fight.

The trouble is most people watch the fight live in normal time, going forwards, and with sound, which I believe to be a mistake.
Not just this, but the judges have also have to deal with ringropes obscuring their view & ringcard girls distracting them. The only way to properly score a fight is in hooters holding some string in front of your eyes, whilst playing the fight backwards frame by frame with no sound. I shall re-watch the fight as such & then see what happens.
