What do you guys think about that anyway? Ive always meant to make a thread about it but I always forget. Do you guys think that should be considered a draw or a win? Ive always felt that it should still be a win. I think its ****** to have it a draw, like the 3rd guy doesnt even count

He counts, but the other two have it adraw.. So.. majority wins.. That'd be like if two guys had it 115-113 for the same person, but the third judge has it a draw.. that you'd go for the draw. Makes no sense.

No its not. Its still different in reality. The 2nd way you menitoned its obvious that it should be a win for the one guy but on the 1st way I think if 3 people score a fight then everyone should count equaly and if 2 guys cant decide on who won then the 3rd guy should. I think it just looks ****** if there is a super fight where one judge has you the winner but the other 2 have it a draw and they call it a draw. The public will still feel like that guy won

But it's not that they can't decide.. They just think it's even. Menaing the majority of them thought that the fight wasn't won by anyone. Majority should win.

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

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
