I'm catching up on some old matches this eve as those of us who work weekends are forced to do. We all see some abysmal judging but when I have a day of leisure and watch nine fights or more and see four of those fights with absurd score cards it is really concerning. Boxing aint no joke. These guys are putting their well being on the line. Waiting years for title shots let alone the money being wagered around the world. I refuse to bet on boxing unless I feel confident of a knockout. One fight I watched this evening had me seething. I won't even mention the fighters, I wasn't even that familiar with them but the cards made me nauseous. It's a theme we all see, we boxing fans know what's what but records and belts are what help make these guys the money they deserve and you have a couple idiots sitting on the sidelines handing in a piece of paper that slaps them in the face.
I know we've probably done this thread a zillion times so forgive me but do you think or have you heard of binging some changes to the situation. Bring tech or replays into the scoring process. Tighter control and review over the judges. I don't even know how the process is monitored as it stands. It just really pisses me off. Needed to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening and do you think anything can be done to remedy the situation or will it be status quo and just part of the sport we and the fighters need to accept. At this point I'm willing to elect Steve Farhood as judge for every fight.
