Do the official judges have a better view than the armchair fan?

    They say we have the advantage of television cameras; however, sometimes its difficult for us to see what punches definitely landed and how clean if connected. Surely judges having the best seats in the entire arena are in a better posistion to score than say the commentators or the armchair fan.

    Its hard to believe that the Nevada state commision would be taking underhand deals but its probably the case with the amount of money nowadays.

    Your views?

    It's a myth that they need to see the fight to be able judge it.

    On TV we see what the producers want us to see. WWE is a good example of this, the camera angles alone can make fake hits.look powerful. We have the benefit of replays but the judges see a 3d view of the action something that's an advantage.

    Official judges have the better view especially the honest ones but you got to doubt the greedy ones because they could be deaf even though they're as close as the referee & that's not including some deaf referee too.
