Should there be a MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE for Judges?

[DeadLikeMe]

The retirement age in America is already moved back to like 73.

I could see a mandatory retirement age for judges at 75, I wouldn't support it but I could understand it.

There should really be one for referees and fighters as well. The former would be grouped like the judges, but the latter would be for fighters health.

The point is you assciated bad judging with age when its clear there is no direct correlation between the two. You need judges that are professional. Besides, Ive disagreed with Harold several times, just not here.

are you a moron? there is correlation between old age & diminished mental capacities. why are you arguing this? did you read the op? i gave you two shady judges & their old age.

there is correlation.

Lets take a look at another robbery, Paul Williams vs Lara:

Donald Givens 116-114. Date of Birth 10-2-1934 lmfaaooooo 78 years old?


I can keep going.

[The Tase]

listen just do the research yourself. trust me, there is correlation between old age & messed up scoring.

i gotta bow out for a little bit but ill be back...

[Da Hammer]

nobody is questioning harold lederman because he got the scores right.

YOu cannot argue with father time. The older you get the slower your mental capacities get.

how are you suppose to keep up with world class athletes?

And because Lederman scorecard doesn't mean ****. He can get it right or wrong all he wants. Anyone who goes by his scorecard is obviously a casual.

There is no direct correlation between bad judging and age. This is your opinion. Being "Shady"-the term you used- is not directly connected to age either. If so, then this would mean Harold Lederman, who is also old, but scored the fight the way you saw it, must also be scoring it wrong because he has diminshed mental capacity.

I feel inclined to respect the elders, they are wise.

There shouldn't necessarily be a mandatory retirement age, but when judges clearly get the wrong result, they should be forced to defend their scoring in front of a panel and subject to punishment like suspension or revocation of licenses. Instead guys like Duane Ford, Jerry Roth and Joe Cortez keep getting jobs on a big stage and screwing up. And they'll get more jobs too. There has to be accountability, and this masochistic crap has to stop.

No one is questioning Harold Lederman because we do not know if he has the a screen in front of him while he is at ringside.

cant find a pic of cj ross but she is also a old hag who wears glasses...

You can find her pic at the web link below. Judges need to have access to the same equipment as the commentators. They certainly can use television monitors for starters. Where she is sitting, I can certainly see things that she could miss.

There should be a post fight judging system to grade them on their scorecards going back and reviewing wether they were close to what the result should of been of course there will always be subjective scores and rounds but you can ususally narrow it down and see who might be scoring from outer space and who is accurate and the highest graded judge gets the bigger fights and more fights.


Also maybe have 5-6 judges to get a wider pool to have as deciding factors
