On an individual basis, yes, deeply. Imagine if the World Series, World Cup, or Super Bowl outcome was based on sujective and potentially biased points of view from judges. There would be riots in half the civilized world.
What i don't get is why judges seem to be 70 years old who watch fights like statues. If i had the responsibility of judging a fight, i would need the entire side of my ring to constantly move back in forth to get a good view of every second. I don't get it.
I prety much figured Berto would get the decision over collazo mostly because his punches were flashier and more eye catching even though he was missing a great deal of them. That kind of cracp usually gets the attention of lesser judges. Most of these hacks who call themselves boxing judges have never actually fought themselves and don't know how to discifer between flashy swings and effective landing, particularly when it comes to infighting. I also knew Collazo would get hosed because of how long it took to tabulate the scorecards... took an unusually long amount of time to add them up if you ask me.
I didn't notice bias from the HBO crew. Lederman even scored it 115-112 for Collazo. I guess that's something one can always lean back on if the fighter they wanted to win happens to lose to an "HBO house fighter".
