Steve Weisfeld and Dave Moretti Consistant Shameful Scorecards

[TernceBudCharlo]

Completely shameful scorecards. 7-5 for Bivol? This reeks of corruption. They were also the same 2 who scored Canelo GGG 2 7-5 for Canelo. Remember the 3rd judge had it a draw. Not surprised Canelo brought those 2 judges back. Oh, and Moretti scored the Lara fight for Canelo too. 7-5.

i thought they were the gold standard of judges? LMAO, if they are gold i wouldnt want to see silver and bronze

I used to think Weisfeld was good, but 7-5 for Bivol is a disgrace. This is now the 3rd time I know that Moretti has been unfairly generous to Canelo.

they gave it their best shot to get ginger over the line and a draw but they have just gone down in history as the 3 amigos who copied each others scorecards & inflicted another deep stain on vegas boxing judges, they can now go and ask adelaide byrd out on a double date and chew the fat of what on earth has gone wrong here

Has someone ever scored a fight ringside?

Maybe judges see it completely different then from a TV.

Serious question

Not in any official capacity. I've been about as close to a fight as the judges and it is definitely a different experience than watching it on television. You can notice weight of punches, blocked punches, etc more than on TV. Crowd reaction is also magnified.

That said, I don't think variance in cards exclusively has to do with the ringside experience. There have been times when I've been ringside and still thought the judges cards were disgraceful. The fact that the A-side fighter almost always seems to get the benefit of the doubt isn't something you can attribute to the ringside experience.

[IronDanHamza]

The fact all 3 judges gave Canelo the first 4 rounds is very suspect.

[LarryY]

Culture of corruption in boxing. They just wait for their turn to get paid.

[PBR Streetgang]

Typically with Weisfeld and Moretti, I expect that they will deliver a card about 2 points in variance with my card with those 2 points in favor of the A-side. With Cheatham it's usually 1 point.

On occasion they will surprise in their respective variance.

The best seats I ever had was for Lucas vs Provodnikov in NY and I scored it exactly as the judges had it. I was in the first row of elevated seats though and had a perfect view. sitting below the ring with ropes obstructing the view is the worst place to be IMO. Judges should be perched above the ring or something. Honestly I would rather have them watching a broadcast in separate rooms with no sound on then where they sit now because it clearly doesn't work. Or they can stop taking bribes
