How do you become a judge?

I was watching skelton/Sprott earlier and when the decision was read out, me and my Dad talked about how often judges are abysmal. So, do you need some kind of boxing past to become one? Referee or something?

Almost every card I see, there is a decision on there that I just think is appalling. I am certain I could do a better job than some of these morons. Can anyone do it?

Mind, if Don King offered me a bung or something, I'd bite his hand off

You need to agree to do whatever the main promoter tells you and be influenced by the crowd, if you see a shot miss by 12 inches but the crowd cheer like it landed then it landed. You basically need to be a fickle idiot.

...unless theres a knock down or a brutal shellacking just score the round a draw....

another wee tip which would help you go far if a SCOTTISH boxer is fighting an ENGLISH boxer in ENGLAND the only way the scottish boxer can get a draw is if he knocks out the english boxer. no matter what happens during the fight if it goes the distance the rnglish boxer wins dont make it too obvious though just it to him by lets say........ 120-107!!!
