That was a rough one, I will never forget it and it also happened to be the first time I had ever seen a Maryland scorecard. The scorekeeper had drawn a line from the decision towards the fighters names, which were listed one above the other, on the scorecard that was folded into 3 sections, it appeared that it underlined the name of the one fighter - the wrong one, I should have completely unfolded the 3rd and last portion of the scorecard, because then I saw the line went between both names and then made a little downward pointing arrow to the other fighter. Since then, the scorekeeper just circles the name of the winner like everyone else does. Still, it was the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me lol. That is what I get for being in a rush on live t.v. - you live and learn. Fortunately, after working more shows up there since that night, everything has been smooth. In fact this last time, after the show the Commissioner of Boxing in Maryland walked up and told Brian from Prizefight that I was the best Ring Announcer he had worked with in 16 years on the job. That was pretty cool of him to say, he didn't have to do such a thing, but I appreciated it very much.
Great response, showed a lot class. Not surprised your still doing your thing mate. These things are just bound to happen after all.
