    About ten weeks running we've had a seriously dodgy card.

    :-(

    There have been arguements over the judging of fights since..... well, since fights started being judged.

    Boxing is littered with "...however most ringside observers had X winning by 2 rounds..."

    It's a part of boxing that has ALWAYS been controversial. Judging something live from ringside is always open to error the same way that refereeing decisions in rugby or linesman decisions in football and umpire decisions in cricket are scrutinized.

    The judges are not corrupt. Some maybe incompetant, but the system of live judging is an impossible task given that you have one restrictive view and perspective on a fight where TV viewers get several angles and replays.

    Should judges judge from tv monitors:think I think it might genuinely help get better decisions...
