Post your suggestion on how to avoid robbery..

Have the judges available to the press after the fight. If they have to publicly answer questions about why they scored a fight the way they did, two things will happen:
1. Fewer bad scorecards.
2. Greater understanding of why a judge or two gave a close round to one guy over the other, avoiding the whole "robbery" theme before it starts.

 

lol no


The only thing that needs to happen is find better judges. There are many competent, non-corrupt ones around. Weed the bad ones out and problem solved.

 

Oh my god, all these alts are killing me!!

 

7 judges?

 

Assassinate Bob Arum

 

this

 

increase judge suspensions and expulsions tenfold

 

this one, taylorswift, the wardkke guy

It's getting bad.

 

No judges.

If the fight goes to 12 rounds,automatic no contest.

However,if you knock out the opponent, you get half hispurse, and if you knockdown , you get 25 per cent.

What is the incentive of just surviving? Boxing used to be 100 rounds or more until you knock out your opponent, now it is all trying to tickle your opponent while running away.

 

KO your opponent

 

Christ, at least Ward-ke is funny.

 

Have judges who are completely indepdendant of belts and promoters . Also judges are rated on their performances and must complete a full report on what they seen within the ring.

 

Judging is subjective. There are no hard fast rules. It is based more on what the judges think they see than what really is hapening. Unless one boxer clearly wins a round. There will always be close and therefore conterversal decisions.
If your a boxer espicaly in a high profile fight. It's not good enough to be just good enough. You want to understand why Bradley won. It's because Pacquiao was just god enough. Alowing the judges to say maybe Bradley won the round.

 

A better, longer and more intensive period of training would be a start. Also a longer learning period in the lower ranks would be beneficial before judges are pushed onto the big stage. Making jusges a little but accountable by having them explain why they scored how they did might help.

Maybe having monitors for judges to view fights from several angles other than the one where they're seated might give a more rounded view of fights but this would have to be done with just a small number of fixed cameras and not TV broadcasts since that would leave the broadcasters open to accusations of trying to make fighter's performances look better to sway things.

There also has to be a way of making sure that there is a bigger pool of judges available for big fights. If you look a Nevada (where most big US fights are staged) there isn't a big variety of judges around so it's the same old faces a lot of the time which I don't think is good.
