Judges shouldn't score fights from ringside anymore

[JDezi4]

This thread is a sequel to: Should boxing have a scoreboard

But basically, as the title says, judges shouldn't be allowed ringside to score a fight... They should each be in a separate room watching on a silent TV that shows the different camera angles available at home...

I think that makes more sense, then sitting in a static view point, with ropes obscuring their vision, with the crowd influencing what they see... As long as there's no commentary for them to listen to (which there isn't ringside, so no big change there) they are able to objectively score fights...

And if we still get bad scorecards, it'll at least be WAY more obvious there was corruption involved cause they can't use the "fights look different from different angles" excuse...

What do u think about that?

I wouldn't be opposed to this. Have them watch a screen completely muted (separate rooms), no commentary, no punch stats after each round, etc

I guess the only drawback would be the fact that they won't be able to hear the force of the blows landed. But that should be evident based on reaction itself

[HanzGruber]

they should have a monitor, maybe its easier to see from our angle. or maybe just have better judges and hold them accountable

That's a pretty good idea and I agree completely. Although, if judges are indeed paid off, it's not really going to change much.

agreed completly, they just need to not be able to listen to hbo or showtime commentators

You could easily have them watch a different feed of the fight from the main broadcaster. No point in completely muting the television audio completely.

That's a good idea. I still like my idea if having 9 or 11 judges kinda like figure skating which would nullify the couple of ******s and blind judges.

I like that because it means paying them off will cost more then

I agree the have the isolated in a room with the camera angle that would suit judges best..... some of the latest b/s cannot be explained and this has been in the last few years and running.
