    A crude analogy might best make the point? If one is grabbed suddenly and quickly buggered... Would this be a better Hobsen's choice than being slowly grabbed, and slowly buggered?

    Knowing the judges are planning a s c r e w job is not a solution to stopping the fckery.

      Open scoring makes boxing awful to watch.

        My own thinking would be: Have six judges a fight, alternate each round judged by 3. After each round, watch slowed replay and determine your score after doing so. This would help because: If nothing else it would give 6 points of view instead of 3, also judges would be able to review key points in the rounds and be accurate about what punched landed, etc.

        Also, eventually instead of compubox which is true fkery, boxers could,like fencers, wear something that shows when most punches land... not all (fencing is very target specific) but most... And this could replace compucrap.

          That’s the thing, what do you do in a situation where you’re wrongly down every round and there’s no chance to win?

              This.

              How do you guys think Floyd stayed “undefeated”?

              Vegas bred him to be their cash cow.

                I say put the judges in a room without any commentary audio and fans to persuade judges to give the close round to the house fighter. This will also help with replays and missed calls, add another judge to we don’t get anymore draws.

                  Go balls to the wall for a knockout. Isn't that better than a guy coasting thinking he's way ahead and then getting ****ed on the cards. Don't you think Mykal Fox steps on the gas and goes for the KO the other night if he knows the judges aren't giving him rounds?

                    Open scoring won’t stop corruption. Remember Trout vs Canelo?

                      Absolutely. It's everywhere Pro and Amatuer.

                      No accountability for corrupt judges. They get away with their scam results and full pockets of corrupt money.
