Former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko believes there is one simple solution to eliminate bad judges - a knockout victory.
Klitschko, who retired not long after his last pro fight in 2012, had knockout wins in 41 of his 45 victories.
In light of the scoring controversy in last month's middleweight fight between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez - Klitschko believes that both fighters should pursue a knockout victory in the rematch in order to produce a clear outcome.
Canelo challenged Golovkin, the IBF, IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion on September 16th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After twelve rounds of action, the fight ended in a controversial twelve round split draw, with scores of 118-110 for Canelo, 115-113 for Golovkin and 114-114 for the draw.
There are ongoing discussions to have a rematch on May 5, as part of Cinco De Mayo weekend.
"In the types of fights like Canelo and Golovkin you can always expect a lot of emotion, because it's a fight where [both boxers] have a lot of ability. But, bad decisions have always been present [in boxing], there is always someone who is not happy with the result... only now there are a lot more [bad decisions happening]," Klitschko said to Erika Montoya.
"But if you can knock out your opponents, you will never have problems with the judges... right there, a small and easy answer to that problem."
World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman is looking to create some form of technology to make it easier for judges to score fights. One idea is to have judges wear earphones, to block out all of the crowd noise which may influence how they score a round.
Klitschko supports the ideas being presented by Sulaiman.
"I support the proposal of Mauricio to add some technology ... he is someone who is involved in boxing every day. He knows what is needed. For fights you have to be very objective and if these elements help make the task of these human beings easier, I see no problem," Klitschko said.
