Promoters are not going to want five or six judges, it's already expensive enough to bribe three.

This guy is such a clown. He makes divisions & belts out of thin air. When do you use replay? You can’t just stop action to see if it was a headbutt or not. What if it was a clean punch? You stop action & give the guy a rest? That penalizes the fighter who caused the cut. Maybe after a round or end of the fight? The open scoring thing is interesting. It gives the fighters a sense of urgency if down on the cards but it also exposes corruption even though nothing gets done about it. Years ago i seen a guy totally dominating a fight & after 4 rounds he was down 4-0 & 3-1 on the cards & after 8 same stuff. He was pretty dejected by the 9th round because even though he was clearly winning the fight he was way down on the cards. I can’t remember who it was. It was an eliminator & he lost a UD. He had to completely break away from his game plan to try & score the knockout even though his game plan was working. But he wasn’t getting credit. He was the visiting fighter…

in theory 5 judges should result in less issues with results but the officials are still picked from the same pool of corrupt useless addy byrd types who will toe the line regardless i would say

Sulaiman's a bona fide clown. How about actually enforcing mandatories onto your belt holders???

Idk that more judges helps all that much.

I'd argue having a TV monitor for each judge so they can better view the fight at bad angles for their ring position would help judges score better tho. That's what the UFC does & while there are still bad decisions there they are far far fewer bad decisions in the UFC than in boxing.

Sounds like hes expecting a low blow/ body shot controversy.

Trainer Bashir is on record saying this fight might not happen cause Fury’s cut is vulnerable to not healing in time
Sulaiman is a money hungry mofo just looking to justify anything crooked
