    5 may seem a bit crazy. But I think there should be a judge on each side of the ring b/c watching it from different views would be best. Also, I think one judge can be in a press box or room (alone) watching on a tv. I think that would definitely help make scoring much more reliable.

    very true, but it would still lead to more reliable scoring. but i do see how money would be an issue

    Labor cost is too costly.

    How about allowing slow motion and review by the referee or judge before making a call?

    ONE would be enough if he/she wasnt corrupt or biased

    one would never be enough. it's impossible to elliminate human bias. certain judges look for specific things. i jus tthink that the fight needs to be looked at from all possible angles.

    possible, but only when championship bouts.
