Crazy Scorecards,,,,

Cristian Mijares SD Jose Navarro

An absolutely mental scorecard from Doug Tucker:

Chris Wilson 115-113 Mijares
Doug Tucker 120-108 Navarro:huh
Adalaide Bird 117-111 Mijares

 

before hopkins knocked de la hoya out with that body shot, one of the judges had de la hoya ahead :nut

 

Can't remember which one it was but I'm sure Jack Dempsey when acting as referee gave a pretty wierd one in a 10-rounder (think it may have involved Rex Layne but not sure) where he scored 9 of the 10 rounds even - or something like that - pretty funny

 

06-10-2007 : Sam Peter vs. Jameel McCline
judge: Bill Costello 115-110 | judge: Steve Weisfeld 115-111 | judge: Julie Lederman 113-112

all 3 judges for Sam Peter. All 3 should be suspended for life and a FBI investigation should begin ASAP .

 

Maybe he didn't want to reward Hopkins for fouling ?

 

Here's a good argument against using a sole judge.

1956-02-07 : Kid Gavilan 147½ lbs lost to Peter Waterman 147¼ lbs by PTS in round 10 of 10
Location: Harringay Arena, Harringay, London, United Kingdom

"Outrage boiled up today against a referee's decision that gave young Peter Waterman of Britain a decision victory over Cuban Kid Gavilan in a 10 round welterweight bout Tuesday night. British fans, newspapers and officials led the criticism heaped on the aging head of Ben Green, one of the most respected ring officials in the country. Promoter Jack Solomons, ring officials, boxing reporters and the 10,000 Harringay Arena fans all believed former world champion Gavilan had won easily with a bewildering variety of punches and aggressive tactics that obviously befuddled Waterman. From the 5th round Gavilan was in complete control of the fight. He fought in flurries but was always the aggressor. He easily landed two punches to Waterman's one. He changed his boxing style at least four times and continuously drove Waterman to the ropes. Waterman obviously was befuddled by the Kid's know-how." -United Press

Protest over this decision caused the British Boxing Board of Control to hold a hearing on the matter, resulting in the revocation of the license of 71 year old referee Ben Green.

Post fight comments

"By my scorecard, Gavilan won eight rounds and Waterman two. This is one of the most outrageous decisions in a major contest." -Peter Wilson, of the Daily Mirror

"The decision was ridiculous. Green is on his way out after this one." -Undercard referee, who requested anonymity for professional reasons and because of his friendship with Ben Green
