i think its time for a change in boxing judging!

in all sports ,were there is money good or bad some one can be bought,,the public pays there wage they should have a say some how

 

shambolic last night. I scored it 117-112, a few rounds tough to score but how on earth any1 can make a case for marquez winning is beyond me

 

No point expecting justice from pro sport. It's just business.

 

I score PROFESSIONAL boxing on these criteria:
1. Who does the most damage.
2. Who lands more punches
3. Who lands the cleaner punches.

Other things you have to take into account, in particular in close rounds are:
1. Who leads the action.
2. Which boxer seemed more purposeful and in control.

That is proper scoring criteria. After taking all of that into account how anyone can say this was a clear decision to Bradley is beyond me.

 

Bradley bossed this fight.

 

See this is where it can get messy, what if a fighter is boxing off the back foot?

 

Have 5 judges and ignore the highest & lowest scores. Not perfect, but harder/more expensive to rig.

 

Bring back no decisions...

 

After Pac beat Bradley, one of Bradley's judges was asked about the scoring, while showing a round where Pac landed 2 punches to Bradley's 1, the judge said that the fans do not know anything about boxing, can't score a fight, not qualified, that same judge later resigned!

Then there was the Provodnikov fight in which Provodnikov left Bradley on the canvas! Bradley's speech was slurred, was dizzy, his head looked like it had been in a hornet's nest. Bradley's judge did not count all the knock downs, good thing for Bradley. So...........who is paying the judges, or rather who is really paying the judges and ref?

 

Increasing the amount of judges would only increase the amount of bad scorecards.

The only way it will ever change is if the all the boxers themselves made a stand and refused to fight for certain promoters or under certain governing bodies and formed their own commision. Which will never happen because boxing is controlled by money

 

It has been time for about 40 years now, nothing changes.
The judges and referees are flawed.
The 10 point must system is flawed.
The commentators and networks are flawed.

 

Ban Boxing?
