Should judges be required to turn scores in per round?

Or maybe just have open scoring at the end of each round because you know shady **** is going down when they take long to "collect" the scorecards.

Anyway it shouldn't be a surprise to you who won if you watched the fight and scored it properly.

Open scoring is horrible. It killed what was on its way to becoming fight of the year material in Bell/Mormeck 2, after revealing the score at the end of the 8th. Without open scoring, Mormeck may have to hold his ground a bit longer and its possible the same thing happens as in the first fight. The 1st 8 rounds were damn good.

Btw- both fights have become pretty underated.

the judge who scored round 12 in hopkins taylor 1 for taylor
the judge who scored the last round in pascal dawson for pascal
the judge who scored 11 rounds for williams in williams martinez 1
the 2 other judges in williams martinez 1 who gave the first round to williams

modern day heroes!

They tried it and it changed nothing. Finding good referees has always been a problem. I think they should evauluate referees constantly and put them on a list for bad decisions. That should be on their record for the rest of their career. After a couple questionable calls they should be blacklisted.

Supposedly, they evaluate referees and judges after each fight.(At least the NSAC, says they do).

Well if they do the should put it on the screen for open debate amongst the analyst and not wait until the end where they can group their scores together and run out the arena and all you hear from the analyst "I don't know what fight he was watching!". Bad judges need to be held accountable. I am not saying all judges are bad but their is always one in the bunch.

I'm absolutely all for putting a judge that has made a horrendous decision on live television and asking them what the hell they were thinking. These incompetent and corrupt judges need to be put on the spot.

Really? I'd rather stick my head in a microwave then listen to Chuck Giampa bumble his way through why he thought Montiel's ring generalship was more effective than Arce's effective aggression. It would be a waste of time. Wouldn't you rather see undercard highlights or maybe a thoughtful preview of upcoming fights? Cool thing about boxing is you dont have to agree with the official decision and are free to make up your own mind.

Can anyone think of a bad decision that really effected the loser in a negative way? Not that it hasn't happened, but I cant think of any off the top of my head. There has to be cases when a fighter gets screwed on the cards via homecooking, then never gets a crack at a world class fighter again.
