    The Real Purpose of the + Wide Score for the Actual Loser

    One of the many ways to fix a fight is to have 2 of the judges in on it.
    Some fights have the clear loser being given the decision win, when all 3 judges should have scored it for the other guy. I'm talking about impartial people not some fans who'll say anything.

    The wide scorer makes people overlook that the other corrupt judge also had bogus scoring though not as absurdly wide as the first one cited.

    It makes the W seem far more legit than it was for people to focus on just the one "worse" scorer, when people should realize both were corrupt if the vast majority saw a clear W for the other guy. And I'm sure it's all worked out in advance if needed, with the promoter.

              What he's saying is...
              Two wrongs don't make a right...
              Or in other words...
              A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

                  Honestly what you're saying makes perfect sense and works. It's almost like reverse psychology so people can focus on the wide score and say "well the other judge had it 115-113 so his card is not a robbery"

                    Also I'm 100% certain the promoters have paid online shills. Even here on boxing scene who will come and post agreeing with the robbery.
