    Flawed logic. Having more judges doesn't mean more judges will get it right.
    If two can have off days, so can four.

    More judges = more judging assignments = keeping WBC staff busy.

      Hmm, Always thought you needed judges to give a UD.

        This will just make things worse.

        When Fury gets his late stoppage win, the Usyk fanboys will claim the Ukranian knew he was gonna be robbed on the cards and that's the only way the fat bald guy was able to land on him.

          Boxing judging is flawed because they get a worse view of the fight than we do on TV. Sometimes all they can see is a fighter's back. How the hell can they know if a punch lands or not in that situation? They also don't get to see slow motion replays. Often when we watch at home it's hard to tell if a punch lands or not.

          ​I favor Usyk in this fight. I think Fury will reap what he sowed by not fighting anyone with decent boxing skills in the last 8 years. Wilder and Whyte are the only top-10 fighters he has fought but neither is a skillful boxer. You can't keep your skills sharp when they are not being tested.

          I think also they are worried about the judging because Fury will probably try to lean on and grab Usyk all night

            Same ref who called AJ and DDD's body shots low blows will not be in the ring for this fight. Don't like either but the Ukraine Fraud has to go. Sugar Hill SD.

              follows direction well

                Sulaiman needs to deal with his Jermall Charlo issue first. He must be worried about Usyk winning and losing his Fury income.

                  fury is now facing a serious opponent with very good stamina

                  its very likely to go the distance, over to the 'judges' lol

                  i think they will get it right this time actually for some odd reason

                    Why not give everyone in the building a scorecard, and then release the results in 6-8 weeks?

                      The answer is not more judges. More accountability by the judges with sanctions more readily imposed for incompetence. Perhaps more importantly, the judges to be paid by the state athletics boards not by the promoter.
