Serious Judge Trouble (??)

[thegreatone1]

"The Canadian judge (Woodburn), I have no experience with but if you look at the scoring, he changed his decision in the 12th round where he initially had scored a 10-9 round for Glen, he reversed that after the fact. He crossed out the '10' and put in a '9' in Glen's column," said the manager. "The guy named Hidalgo, the Venezuelan judge, this guy, I mean, he didn't even know who was who. He didn't know who was Johnson and who was Dawson and he had to, in the 11th round, go to the commission table - and this was witnessed by the WBC supervisor - and reverse the names because he didn't know what he was doing. So that kind of incompetence in a world title fight, that shouldn't be allowed."

If this is true...WOW... imagine a judge being this confused and he doesnt realize until the fight is almost over???!!

Who promoted this card?

The promoters and the boxing commision should take some flack surely.

The worst part about it is that ***** Dawson is already hundreds of miles away from Johnson and vowing to never fight him again, chicken**** pansy.

I'm torn between picking Tarver or Dawson. On one hand I hate that ***** Dawson and wish to see his title taken from me, on the other hand Tarver is a raging crackhead who never shuts the **** up about how great he is.

Talk about a lose/lose situation.

No wonder those scores seemed off. I still thought Dawson won, but damn why are guys like that allowed to judge. For official judges that kind of stuff shouldn't happen. I mean if there is one thing you should know is who is who. That's pretty ridiculous.

And what's worse, the ref collects all scorecards at the end of each round and takes them to the FL. Boxing Com. tables to be added up - if a judge doesn't realize before he hands the card to the ref. that he made a mistake, it goes down in the books just the way it was written - mistake be damned...

The Florida Boxing Com. really needs to do some serious housecleaning, begining at the top....

You're thinking of Jack Woodruff who had it 115-113 Whitaker (Boxrec)

Thanks for the correction, at least I got the canadian part right.

I'm not even shocked by this. It's not even eye-opening.
I should be shot.

Do any of you know how one becomes a judge? What are the requirements and if you need an EDUCATION for this job. Judges get to travel all over the world and witness the best athletes in the world, the least they can do is judge a fight correctly. Any help or informantion would be greatly appreciated.
