What Would be Your Idea to Improve Judging?

[Illmatic94]

Boxing fans scream and complain about judges almost daily. but you offer no solution to something you believe is so rotten. if there's rotten food in your kitchen you don't just leave it there.

offer your solution to improve judging.

the job a boxing judge has is actually scary and difficult when you think about it. they are tasked to score a winner with the naked eye. from one angle. no replays. no luxury of rescoring the fight a hundred times like fans have. compubox means sht to them since those numbers are used to just ****e up the telecast. those numbers mean nothing and are 95% inaccurate.

Imagine your first reaction to who you thought won a fight. then imagine having to stick with this decision forever. your first score. thats it. alot of you guys rewatch a fight then change the winner. judges dont have that luxury. the only way to be on equal terms with judges is to watch a fight one time. score it. and never watch it again. but we watch a fight a hundred times and dissect every second then we attack judges after weeks and months of studying a fight.

here's an idea: have the three judges sit inside booths in different spots of the building. with just a monitor and headsets. no commentary. no unofficial cards flashed on the screen. all they hear is punches and crowd noise. they have free reign to utilize slow motion however they please. now they watch the fight from every angle. they now are no different from fans at home.

this will clear up bad scoring right away. all that talk about styles preference and bias should go out the window because the only criteria that matters is clean punching. on an HD monitor with replays they have a better view of punches than ringside.

No beginaz for one. Hoes are incompetent at the best of times

In a contreversial fight, judges being interviewed in the press fight conference should be mandatory and be given 10 question each.

1 Make title fights 13 or 15 rounds to reduce the chance of a draw.
2 Make judges retirement mandatory at 65.
3 Open a training school for judges.
4 Have judges performance reviewed on a bi yearly basis.
5 Have judges employed by a national athletic commission and have them assigned to fights randomly, WITHOUT promoter/fighter approval.

i dont see how its so difficult. either you can score a fight or you cant, and i can.

[Banko Villas]

There should be 5 judges instead of 3, we should see the score for every round live so we won't get shocking results and there should be some kind of control, which would be possible that the scores were announced live.

You had Golovkin beating Canelo and Kovalev beating Ward, lol, you can't do ****, boy.

99% yeah. I'd probably take Rosie Perez as a judge over some of the male judges though.

It's better than it used to be, judges should be held accountable to their **** ups. I like that CJ Ross got canned for her card on the Mayweather/Canello fight...but was curious at the time if she would have been fired for two lesser fighters.


Only thing I can really think of is perhaps giving them monitors so they can maybe replay some things between rounds? A punch may look like it connects in the moment, but being able to review something real quick between rounds may make a huge difference.

They should be reviewed after each fight they score. The school thing probably wouldn't fly with all the sanctioning bodies and countries and such, it would likely just cause more red tape. I really like the idea of then being assigned to fights randomly though.

Thanks! I think after each fight is too much. Maybe yearly, like the major sports are moving toward.
