Originally posted by FeFist View PostI think that Judges are sometimes given a raw deal.
When we assess how a fight should be scored, there is a tendency to think it is a close fight so the score cards should also be close. What usually happens is individuals allocating rounds to even things out.
Judges should score rounds in isolation; to that end, lopsided rounds could be a result of consistency. If a round is close, and all the other rounds follow the same pattern, they will likely score those rounds the same.
That being said, robberies occur and certain patterns are emerging. If these things were a one off, I would chalk it up to the above; but, the tendency to have at least one card being overly generous, to the favoured fighter, is a cause for concern.
Every single time a "judge" makes an indefensible score, they need to be called on the carpet and explain themselves. This sport is a borderline joke. If the scoring isn't dependable, what's left? "Sports entertainment." That's what.

Talked to Nevada Athletic Commission at post-fight Presser and they expressed concerns over Levi Martinez's work judging Canelo-Lara
NAC chairman Francisco Aguilar and exec. Dir. Bob Bennett said Martinez's scores differed by one third with Vegas judges Roth and Moretti.
The width of those scores are what concerned them. And yes, they asked him to explain his card
Granted this was not an easy fight to score but the NAC said Martinez's work deserved to be scrutinized. I agree.
Bottom line: don't expect Levi Martinez to judge a big fight in Vegas anytime soon.
He scored Lomachenko over Salido and Viloria over Estrada. I thought both were bad calls but the Viloria Estrada card was especially bad IMO.

Originally posted by .:: JSFD26 ::. View PostDo you really want me to go thru his BoxRec and post all his scores? Its not about messing up the scores. Is it a coincidence that he gave Lomachenko the fight plus Canelo and Broner some scores wider than they shouldve been?
I can easily bring up others. I couldnt bother. Not worth my time. People know who this guy is and what hes been up to.

Were the judges investigated... Typical bias.
