Say what you want about this chick, but at least she's stepping aside for a while, if not completely down from her position.

Yeah, she's had some questionable scorecards over the years, and yeah, she deserves to suffer the blowback from that. But how many other judges (and referees!) are out there who don't even have the decency to do step down from their position when they've ****ed up otherwise great fights?

Answer : Not many.

Personally I'd love to see a few other referees and judges in boxing have the integrity to do what's right for the sport, too. It doesn't matter to me if she's doing it for selfish reasons (being unable to take the criticism) - All that matters to me is that she's doing it.
