Would judges be better off watching a fight on a monitor backstage?

That would curb any crying of someone giving a round late to get their guy back in the fight because they know the total score they have right in front of them.

Originally posted by W1LL View PostThe only way to lessen the blatant corruption is with open scoring. Would also need some kind of governing body that hold judges and other officials accountable for their actions. If a score is challenged, it would go off to an independant committee, and if they find the score to be way off, there'd be repecussions. I'm talking like the judge who scored for Canelo against Mayweather.
Mainly I think judges should be given a means to provide rational for how they judge each round. There are 4 criteria: clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense. A judge should have to indicate which factor or factors most influenced their scoring for each round. Just shade the dots next to the criteria that were most decisive.
These scoring records should be kept as part of every judge's profile. Then we would begin to see patterns that could affect which judges get selected for title bouts at least.
The overarching problem is: How should judges weigh the different criteria? When is "defense" more important than "effective aggressiveness?"

Monitors / screens can be hacked though and oresent a different account of what is actually happening in real life. Imagine fighting a Russian fighter? They'd never lose because even if the Russian gets KO'd, the monitor would show the Russian guy KO'ing his opponent
