welcome to boxing!

Hopefully they change decision to an ND. Not sure if anyone has the authority to order a rematch but that would be ideal.

Regardless of what the Iowa commission decides, Showtime could offer the following to Mattice's team: either accept a rematch on a future ShowBox card or never fight on Showtime again.

Agreed, someone (TBRB, Ring, BWAA, ?) needs to come up with a list of officials who are clearly either incompetent or under su****ion of some type of corruption. A Hall of Shame ranking would be posted with links to critical articles/quotes by respected boxing people.

If a judge wanted to be removed from the list, they must record a YouTube video of all disputed/shady rounds (e.g. Adelaide Byrd rounds 5, 6, 8 and 9 of GGG-Canelo), explaining their rationale. If the explanation is accepted by a minority (say 25%) of the rankings panel, the judge would be removed from the list. Alternatively, they could voluntarily accept a suspension.

We also need clear, round-by-round comparisons of shady scorecards juxtaposed with "neutral" scorecards by boxing media members in attendance. This would enable a quantitative basis for a "disputed" or "shady" performance.

This happens far too often without consequences. I was actually dreading hearing the cards read in Russia for Usyk-Gassiev. I prefer Gassiev's style but Usyk dominated the fight - thankfully the scorecards aren't even a topic of conversation.

What sux is the guy trained his ass off. Then gets cheated.

Yes a list needs to be made because I would bet a lot of the same judges are getting paid. It would sort them out real quick!
