WHY DONT JUDGES HAVE TO FACE THE MEDIA POST FIGHT AND TALK ABOUT THE DESICION

[JT Rock]

Why Dont judges have to face the Music in the Media about why they saw things a certain way and why they scored in the manner they did...I feel this would go along way in preventing Idiotic desicions and Highway Robbery...

DONT WORRY IKE I'M GOING TO BAT FOR YOU!!!![

[bigragu]

because half of the fights wouldn't go on as planned......You would have judges backing out left and right.....these guys need to be held accountable...Too many piss poor decisions lately. Plus I say good by to draws....Go 1 more round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like a courtroom. The judge (or ref), will speak, but not the jury (or the judges). It's a shame.

I wander if any of the judges fondle themselves during the rounds might explain a lot :P

USBA tried that a while back. It didn't work.

They (whoever they are?) need to give these judges the boot from ever judging a boxing match again. Other sports like baseball, football, basketball, etc., wouldn't put up with poor officiating, so why should boxing. The Quartey decision is what hurts boxing and has to stop.

Mr/Ms (insert name) judge; you are going to Germany*, to judge a fight involving a non German* against a German* hero.

At the end of which, you will face the (German*) media and explain the decision...

* Can be replaced with any other country in the world.

Maybe take the human element out and use video and punch stats or only hire judges that that are empethetic like retired boxers are well known people who have a reputation to up hold.

I for one dislike change. Once I get used to the way things are I want them to stay that way.

Anyway, I don't like the idea of having retired boxers judging the fights. They'd be just as likley to point a match in favor of "their man" as anyone else. I'm not saying they all would, but then all matches aren't considered robbery with the current system either.

Judges should be accountable for the decisions they make. Its a simple logic.
