Where is the history of byrd being some terrible judge?

I posted it in another thread. There is a mention to her horrible scoring in that Arum article. In MMA forums she's been considered a curse to the sport for years too. Since Boxing is more spread out then the UFC is I think a lot of boxing fans aren't up on bad judges as much as UFC fans tend to be with judges who work both sides of the fence.

She scored it 3-0 for a UFC fighter when in reality the other fighter won every round. Dana White was going off on her in the past.

Thing is, it only takes one bad night in boxing to do irreparable damage, either as a judge or a ref. You can be a great ref, but have one bad night like Richard Steele, Pat Russell or Weeks and be labeled an incompetent moron.

Byrd screwed up the scoring for Hopkins/Calzaghe, fortunately it didn't cost Calzaghe the fight. Her scorecard on Saturday was as bad as CJ Ross scoring of Manny/Bradley and Floyd/Canelo. Incompetent and/or corrupt judges can have a serious impact on a fighter's career and potential earnings.

Burt Clements didn't know how to score three knockdowns in a round, so he cost Manny a win versus Marquez in their first fight because he is incompetent. It should have been overturned. Look at Melvina Lathan, another incompetent mess. Dave Moretti usually turns in some outrageous scorecards as well. Duane Ford another senile old fart.

I think judges should have to score the fight while watching it on a big screen television. You have a much better vantage point with up close camera angles than you do sitting at ringside. Especially when the fight is taking place on the other side of the ring and the ref is in your field of view.
