A ****** question but why don't the commentators also be the official judges?

    Harold Letterman is pretty decent and his daughter is actually really good.

      Because they could not focus properly on judging while commentating, not to mention they are paid by a broadcaster which has vested interests in certain fighters.

      If you think there are conflicts of interests now, just think about that.

        I disagree with how Harold scores but he is pretty consistent so hard to fault him.

          They should do away with judges altogether. I can't tell you how many times I shake my head when I hear the scores and there's one or two judges who clearly filled their cards out in round one. Who was the moron who scored the Ward-Bika fight 120-108 for Ward? That guy should be fired



          ...out of a canon




          ...into the sun.

              Lederman is not usually right. Check out Alexander vs Kotelnik... He had Alexander ahead by a huge margin, a little more than the judges actually, where as the consensus is of the opinion that Kotelnik won that fight. I had it 8 rounds to 4.
