    What would happen if...

    A referee took a point off for a borderline low blow, and a judge disagreed with it, so they just decided to ignore it?

    Has this ever happened?

    I don't think so unless the referee didn't make it clear that he took a point away, a judge always has to take point deductions into account.

      They also have to score rounds for the guy that is winning the round, but they don't do that sometimes.

      I can imagine a rogue judge telling a referee to **** off if they didn't agree with it at sometime, somewhere.

        I would've liked to see that.

          Well a judge could listen to the ref, take the point for the low blow but still score the round for the guy that fouled even if to the fans it looked like the other guy won it. Remember JMM-Pac I, round 1 Manny knocks JMM down 3 times 10-7 round humm.....most judges take minus 1 point per knockdown and minus 1 for winning the round so if a 1 knockdown round is scored 10-8 humm....but that's an example of bad judges like eugenia williams scoring Holy-Lewis I 7-5 Holyfield, etc.

            Not sure but I remember one judge scoring a 10-9 round for Moorer (against Holyfield) even though he was knocked down. The fight would've been a draw otherwise.

              That was because the judge didn't know he could score a round 10-6 though, it wasn't that he just decided not to score the third knockdown.

                A judge that doesnt know how to correctly score a professional boxing match humm....so is incompetence excusable but blind judges like williams are not? Fools like that judge who "didn't know" should've never been there in the first place, it's judges like that that cause the public to lose confidence in the sport.

                  I'm not saying it was competent judging, it's very incompetent.

                    No I understand where you're coming from but I hate hearing that a judge "didn't know" this or that about how he/she is supposed to score. If they cant do the job correctly then wtf are they doing there.
