    Should Boxing go to 6 Judges?

    So, this weekend was a bad night for the "casual" boxing fan. Us real boxing heads have grown to understand (and accept) the politics seemingly associated with the sport. And let's be honest, we are much more forgiving of the pitfalls plaguing our beloved sport. But when is enough, eenough? How many more ****ty scorecards do we have endure before some sort of change is made??? Would 6 Judges produce a more consistent outcome?

    the refs should all be in a separate rooms watching through a monitor with no crowd noise influence. their point of view should be directly above the ring, with the camera pointing straight down on top of the fighters. this way they can see exactly what punches are landing and which aren't.

      I think they should just end fights without a decision & then after 24 or 48 hours & viewing all the online comments they can + consulting with 10-100 professional judges they announce a decision on Sunday or Monday night after the PPV on social media.

        Joe Cortez has been saying for years, give them higher seats so they can get a better view of the action

        I think having them watching the fight on a monitor is the best option

            5 judges in closed rooms. If you have 6 you leave the opportunity for draws. If not closed room, have them in suspended chairs on steel arms so they see down into the ring.

                  Give them a better view. 5 judges is okay in terms of nullifying any "outlier" scores.

                  BUT, how will be positioned outside the 4 sides and corners of the ring?

                    Metal arms with raised seats on the 4 sides of the ring, then add the 5th to one of the corners. Or vice-versa with corners and sides.
