    Makes sense. Just from Round 5 and 8 alone the chances of two judges scoring both those rounds for Bradley is about the same odds 2500-1.

    :lol:
    But like he said, it depends on multiple factors that he couldn't include in the actual calculation.

    We've seen here that about 90% scored it for Pac, 5% a draw and 5% for Bradley.
    If you take away 50% from the Bradley pickers that were essentially trolling you keep about 2.5% who actualy think he won, or are such a big Timmy fan or hate Pac that much they couldn't come up with a realistic score.

    That's about as much as the actual press who scored it for Bradley.

    So you can say the chance of Bradley winning outright was about 1 to 40 x2 (2 judges) = 1 to 80, not counting in the possibilty of corruption.
    (that's far from 1 to 3300)

    Statistical fact: 98% of stats are bull****.

    What I found interesting was his suggestion of increasing the number of judges. Not only would that fix incompetent judging, but if you were to try and pay off 4 judges (double the number needed to get a normal decision) it would look TOO obvious. Beyond ridiculous. I mean if boxing wanted to truly sink itself into the grave, it would be like a jury convicting a clearly innocent man. It would be too messy and too many tracks to cover.

    I very much enjoy this idea and support it. An even better addition would be to have them seated at different areas around the ring.
