JUDGING - an Idea

You know what's a really accurate scoring is the Versus fan poll. It was a little off for the most recent Hopkins fight, but most times the fans get it right. It's unbelievable that a group of fans and viewers can score better than an actual judge. i dont know if you remember the tito/hopkins fight.they had some type of online scoring and fans actually had tito ahead after 7 rounds

We know there are some terrible judges and everyone has personal bias What about adding 2 more judges to make 5. They all score the fight but the highest and lowest scores if you like are discarded and only the 3 middle scores are counted. That eliminates biased judges. Figureskating and other sports with judging do this. so for example, let's say there is a fight and boxer A clearly beats boxer B but it's not a total ass kicking and let's say the scores are (boxer A first) 117-113 116-113 114-115 (this judge has a ridiculous bias towards boxer B and somehow made him the winner) 120-108 (this judge had a bit too much bias towards boxer A) 117-113 The two 'bad' scores are rejected leaving 3 sensible scores. then in the case of a really close fight the loser could claim that the results were cherry picked?!!

15 rounds. Bring it back. Problem solved.

It's actually not a bad idea. The only problem is that it's hard enough to find 3 competant judges, imagine trying to get 5 for every fight.
