Steve Weisfeld was one of the judges last night

[ShoulderRoll]

What did this guy do at HBO or the boxing industry in general? Believe this guy got mentioned before, but I can't place him if he was some sort of on screen presence or notable cat I should know.

He did the unofficial scoring for them for a while. Here he is giving his scorecard at around the 14:20 mark:

I think it's a stretch to complain about the judges in this fight. It was so close. I thought GGG won, but I couldn't argue with anyone who had Jacobs. The cards weren't unreasonable.

To me this conversation should be less about any particular logic with this judge or any judges scorecard & more about should this guy even be judging a HBO fighters fight & arguments about what constitutes a conflict of interest.

I'm curious if the NY Commission has considered this situation at all & deemed it acceptable or what would constitute a conflict of interest along these sorta lines.

Its ABSOLUTELY a conflict of interest. I started a thread about this after the Broner fight but I had mixed up Weisfeld and Farhood, and its Farhood not Weisfeld that worked for Showtime, so I had that one wrong. But in THIS case, Weisfeld DID work for hbo in the past, and should NEVER have been appointed to judge a fight involving one of his former employers top fighters. The NYSAC should have known better. And even if you agree with Weisfelds card, the conflict still exists and he should not have been appointed.

You guys want missed barrages, taunting and pointless jivin' to score points
