    Boxing Decisions, how good are they?
    People have to be trained to score a fight, very subjective.
    Not like the ball sports, the points are well defined and publicly acknowledged as they happen.
    Boxing on the other hand is scored by judges based on their observations and the score is announced at the end of the fight.

    MY question is, how accurate are boxing decisions?

    Let's just say I would trust any 3 random ESB posters with scoring a fight than most judges.

    Too many recent fights were scored incorrectly.

    The only requirements to be a judge:
    * be at least 60 years old.
    * be blind as Stevie Wonder
    * Be DK's buddy
    * have deep empty pockets.
    * be in your own backyard and cheer on your neighbor.

    I'd say 70 percent or so.

    I do think that bad angles from judges viewpoints can cause those weird ass decisions we see that and bought off of course.

    id say around 70%. Some were fair decisions, but the most will make you scratched your head.
