    How funny is it always when Harold Lederman introduces the judges?

    First of all, we know anyways that in 99 % of the fights at least 2 judges are paid off. I watched Froch-Kessler II on HBO and again I heard Lederman "introduce" the judges to the audience right before the decision is announced. As we didn't know they are corrupt. And as if we didn't know Lederman is also biased when it comes to HBO housefighters.
    I laugh everytime I hear this guy say how good a certain judge is and what a great scorecard he had in some random fight from many years ago (probably the only fight in which that certain judge wasn't paid off).

      I knew somebody would say that.
      And no, not at all. I thought Froch pretty clearly won the fight, I did not score it but I felt Kessler was winning maybe 4 rounds or so.

        Whichever judge had it 118-110 was horrifically wrong, to the point where I seriously doubt if they have ever been involved in boxing before.

        I had it 115-113, which was the same as one judge and only a point less for Froch than the 3rd.

          I never get how people accuse judges that score wide margins of being corrupt.

          If you're a judge and someone offers you money to fix the fight, for example Froch in this case. Why would you score it 118-110 and bring su****ion on yourself. You would score it close so it's not obvious.

            Fair enough. I also felt Kessler won four rounds.

              Honestly though as a fan, its often tedious for me to score a fight. It kind of takes the fun out of watching because I have to closely watch every second of every round and it takes quite a bit of concentration. I don't enjoy fights as much when I really have to focus that much.

              If I'm drinking, forget it, there's no point of trying.

                I also never score fights when I watch them live. I only score them if I already know the result or that it went the distance and was close.
