What can be done to prevent incompetent judges like Lisa Giampa working major fights?

At this point we're better off hiring coaches and ex-fighters to score fights.

they're way too biased, for the most part.


fighters have tremendous egos. coaches are right up there, as well. they'll favor the style they teach / use, and believe it to be more effective.

She needs to do the same thing to Floyd then she's gone like C.J Ross.

[New England]

they might as well just let the press score fights like they used to do back in the old days. i trust journalists to have more integrity and more knowledge than 'professional judges'. plus who says there only needs to be three judges? the more the merrier, as far as i'm concerned.

unfortunately, journalists in boxing today make almost no money. journalists in the 20's were well paid. it would be far too easy to slip a modern "journalist" 50 bucks. it would be his biggest payday in boxing.

Write the NSAC, start a petition, email the media heads, etc. Just be proactive. The outrage got CJ Ross to step back.


Last night had to be one of the 100 worst scorecards of all time.

The NSAC has no standing regarding a fight held in California.......

Also NSAC probably won't care much about what you have to say unless you are a resident of Nevada. Or California in the case of CSAC

Is the current system the best possible way in boxing?
...No! it ain't perfect but still needs some retouching!

What would you want to change in the boxing scoring system?
...Add one more scorer like the winner in a compubox!

Why was judges score cards not announce by round but on the last round only?
...So that gangsters in the underworld can control who they want to win the fight!

Would it be great if they announce it during every rest time, it would force the judges to be more accurate with their respective duties. Fights would be more entertaining like more knockouts as fighters would know if they needed that KO to win their fights, and it would be short.

The Jurassic system is full of corruption! Everyone complains whenever there is a robbery.

Unfortunately not a damn thing. The judges get worse each year. Women judges on average are terrible. The woman that scored that one sided fight a draw will keep right on scoring fights.

They seem to have outlawed scoring rounds even. I think that was a mistake. Some rounds are even. In the old days it was not unusual for a judge to score 3 or 4 rounds even in a 10 or 12 round fight. Now they must give even rounds to one fighter or the other. So they give all the even rounds to their favorite fighter or in many cases the house fighter who promoters have future plans for. Alexander did not clearly win 9 of the 10 rounds. Farhood is a good scorer and he had it 6 rounds to 4 rounds for Alexander. I believe there were some even rounds in that fight that should have been scored even.

That's a big fat conflict of interest just like Ring magazine rating fighters.
