    The broadcaster supply's the feed, but not the same one we get at home, they would get all ISO camera feeds on multiple screens the same as third umpires in cricket or refferees in rugby and tennis

    It won't deal with corruption, but it would take away a fairly major issue when scoring a fight. Visibility and the lack of it would seem to be a real issue and it gives lie to the "I saw a different fight" excuse.

    Their angle is rather poor at present. Looking up but they are right in the thick of it and the decisions are still too bad to blame on viewing angle.

    The thing that blows the whole judges being at the wrong angle, having poor visibility etc is commentary.

    If you watch a fight and listen to the main commentator who calls the punches, it's very rare they miss a punch and they never miss the big punches.

    How can judges claim they can't see punches landing when TV commentators see every punch landed?

    Fights should be scored based on ESB polls. We should be the ones to decide who wins.


    Seriously though, I think Cortez's idea is interesting. If it can help give the judges a better view, then why not? Not sure if it will really stop bad decisions though, but worth a try I guess.

    At the very least it couldn't hurt to trial it in some way
