    It would be a nightmare for those who have paid for ringside tickets.

    My first thought as well. Could be a way around it though as it is an interesting idea

    Yes, but is that not worth it to offset some of the appalling decisions we've been getting.

    Ive always thought that sitting right up against the ring apron and looking upwards is a poor angle to see the best of the action far too many potential obstructions.

    Sounds like a decent idea, though there is an obvious problem with fans having their vision obscured. I'd support any attempts to improve scoring.

    Couldn't they be put in a room with a live feed? they could have watch from mutiple angles then.

    I wish Cortez would just go away and stop naming stupid things after himself.

    Judges don't need better views they need to be competent and not corrupt. How is it that in comparison, the press, who are sitting behind the judges, rarely do such an awful job in scoring a fight.

    :good.

    Elevation would give a superior perspective, but unless you change the hearts of men the BS will continue.

    We all know that Mickey Vann had determined Huck to be the winner before the bout started; he'll be welcomed back.

    Judges should quite simply just watch the fights on TV, you have a better view, angle, and coverage via TV coverage than just sitting ring side.

    They should just be sitting off in a room, nowhere near the ring.

    Watching the fight.

    that would be good where they could not hear the fans to sway them but not every show has the finance to do this probably

    Suppose it's a good idea, with them being higher up and easier to spot out we can pelt them with ease.
