I'm fine with saying we do this for split or majority decisions. Not unanimous ones.
Collectively, boxing press and analysts usually have it right.

Watch fight for free, three weeks later pay to see who won!
Could have celebrities open those award show envelopes & give the scores round by round for a couple hours. Have Atlas & Bradley do a skit together as the anticipation builds after the 5th round score announcement from Selena Gomez & Jimmy Fallon.

LoL. . How do they determine if a judge is independent?.. Unless we get recognizable, experienced judges to review.

The way it is in todays age is wrong, and its just ****** with the technology we have, makes the sport look bad to millions of viewers.
Rules are rules for reasons when its a blatant miss call it should be rectified by qualified people just like they have racing Stewards look at protests then and there and rule.

Originally posted by Reloaded View PostYes its common sense, look at how many times where a low blow, a trip, a KD that was a slip happened, yet the ref rules wrong and winning fighter lost the round by 2 points and for the rest of the fight the commentary is complaining about the miss call that the world sees as plain as day.

Originally posted by Strategic1 View PostI agree.. those situations are not common but it's important to get the call right. A little break in action needs to be sacrificed so that they can get it right.... I think most would have no problem with that.
If its a bit more complicate they call the ruling at the end of the round or end of next round.
I don't think it would very hard to have an accurate decision making system in boxing, trouble is they don't want it because the power players like Arum cannot fix fights and would be near impossible to buy a judge in a system like this.
