Joe Cortez wants to elevate judges

They should watch it on a TV with no crowd noise.

The TV cameras always switch to the best position, there are no blind spots.

 

I wish Joe Cortez would elevate himself up to the moon and never return. But that actually seems like an interesting idea.

 

Like i have just stated the angles are better/1

Observation is the most important thing, and the fact of the matter is..? TV coverage gives you better angles and covers the action better, than sitting in one position looking through some ****ing ropes.

 

It wouldn't be practicle for all boxing, but any televised events have all camera feeds going to an EVS truck outside ( I used to work in them for a while), it's actually not very expensive to get the camera feeds sent to a "judges room" or anywhere else. it's exactly the same scenario as Rugby or cricket third umpires, they get the same camera angles as the viewers at home, but the get to choose what angles they want to see.

 

This is what I was thinking.

 

Judges are not taking the punches!

The bottom line is the coverage via TV has better angles and overall by far better coverage.

The judge is looking through the ropes, and at times may have their vision blocked, or they might not be able to see both fights equally.

 

The referee must get in the way of a lot of action too.

 

The solution to jusdging is fairly simple -

1. More judges
2. Anonymous scoring
3. Highest and lowest scores for each fighter are removed
4. Average of remaining scores are taken

Job done.

 

TBH i agree with Laikaka.

If they need help try the following:

-ear plugs
-change seat every round or two. Maybe a different view?.

But for me a lot of these bad decisions are down to money and reputations. These bad call's never go in the way of the no mark.

TBH Judges may as well tell the fighters what they want before the fight happens.

Either way this wouldn't change a thing IMO.

 

This is the way to go in my opinion too. It's so simple yet would probably work.

Maybe they could trial it or is that just too sensible for WBC/WBA et al

 

I have seen the point, and have chosen to ignore it slightly. Because the points i am making will have greater benefit to the judges.

Elevating the judges above the ropes, will make the judges look like ****ing pricks. They would get abused by ringside fans, in certain arena's.

It won't help them as much as my suggestion, of being in a special room, watching specially alternated coverage of the fight. Give the judges a opportunity to rewind and pause rounds in-between rounds, to access what ever camera angle they want! To analyse fighters in there corners etc.
