If 2 Judges have a draw and the 3rd favors 1 fighter....

If you could count on all judges then i'd agree.

But at the lower end of the sport, like the ESPN events, judges are probably easily coaxed into leaning one way or the other u know?

I think its safe and fair either way, but the way it is now is just a bit safer.

Plus, in that situation, ud only have to pay off one judge and a get away with it you know/ even if it is a long shot that 2 judges score it a draw

true but in most cases I think the crooks would be the other 2 judges. Like the Sweet Pea-JCC fight. 2 of them had it a draw.

I know the rules. Ive been watching boxing forever. I know the rules and I know why they do it. Im just saying that I dont agree with that one rule. I think in this one case then it would make more sense to give it to that one judge. I dont think its the same as looking at it like the other one you compared it to. I know thats how they do it and its why they do it but I dont think it should be like that in that case

Scenario........Judges A and B score the fight a draw....it was a difficult fight to score...very even and the majority of fans agree that a draw is a sound and proper result. However, Judge C gives it 118-110 to fighter x so fighter x gets the verdict. Do you really think that is fair?

What if its the other way around like in the JCC-Sweet Pea fight? The 2 guys had it a draw while the other guy had Pea winning and everyone thought Pea easily won the fight.

I just think it looks weird win somone has you winning the fight and no one has the other guy winning the fight but you still dont get the win. Thats all Im saying. Its just strange. I could see if there were 5 judges and it was like 4 draws to 1 win but not in this case. What if there were 5 judges and it was 3 draws and 2 guys had it a win for the same fighter? Should it then still be a draw? It just doesnt look right

But in order to watch boxing.. you have to have a certain level of faith, and rightfullly so in the judges making a DECENT decision most of the time. So, would a ref get it wrong sometimes? Yes. Fact is, majority should always be the way to go. What if some ref was just ****** and in the same Whitaker and Chavez fight.. Two judges had it a draw and he had it for Chavez.. Either way, that fight should be a draw.

It's kind of like this.. If you ask three of your friends about a movie, and they give you mixed reviews, but one of your friends says it's GREAT.. I hope you're not the type to just go with him. If that happens to me, I say.. "I heard the movie is decent, and some people realy liked it.. but.. mostly decent"

Toney/Rahman was a Majority draw, even though one judge gave it to Rahman.
