Should boxing use Compu-Box statistics as a way to score fights?

[Holmes]

Somebody should be hired to watch fights in slow-motion after the fight and carefully tabulate compubox numbers so we get more precise figures.

i agree. something has to be done this is bull ****. im not really sure its the judging system in place that is the problem is the bull **** judges and you never know if anyone is getting $$$$ or not?


i can see why my friends dont like boxing. one told me its too corrupt so he doesnt bother watching it. dont blame him. that decision was utter bull ****

i always thought we should do away with judges completely, and let the fighters decide the fight. Basically, unlimited rounds until someone decides to quit

I would prefer online scoring where just fans watch the fights and score them because it has had good results when FX had boxing on and there is no corruption because I think most fans want to see the right guy get the W.

They should use a method similar to NFL were they critque and rank the judges after fights and determine who scores more appropriate and use them for the bigger high profile fights.

Unfortunetly that'll never happen as well as a national commision

no, that wont work either.

they need to revamp the criteria to become a judge though I think. And there should be like 7 judges, or even 11 judges. That way it should help reduce the impact of incompetent and blind judges.

What about BLIND REFS such as Randy Neumann in Klitschko-Peter 1?? Or the guy who refereed the fight between Emmanuel Augustus and Burton, whom Augustus KO'd on the return. That first fight alone might have finished boxing for ever.

You miss the obvious. Who will determine who scored the most appropriate way??

Add two judges, throw out the highest margin score and closet margin score, plus keep who is judging it confidential until the fighters come to the ring, then bring out the judges.
