    Do you know that you can pay someone regardless of who appoints them?

    Aye, everyone knows that, but promoters are also responsible for the judge's expenses.

    They also have pull.

    Only Booth had Zelfa winning by a point, Clarke, Nelson and Macklin had it draw as did I.

    Dreadful judging (and it wasnt Terry Oconnor for change) taking the shine off a good fight.

    Awful cards for Barrett vs Martinez. Kiko deserved better then that. Warrington vs Lara doesnt go past half way mark

    And you know that that is a criminal offence so you are telling me that Matchroom are going to put the future of their business on the line for a Zelfa Barrett fight?

    Because as we all know, 'under the table' deals are neither a literal OR real thing.

    I want Lara to win now just to put a dampener on Adam Smith's valentine weekend with Warrington's jock strap

    You think something being illegal makes people stop doing it? I hope you're not that naive.

    On the bright side, Warrington usually dismisses guys that don't belong in the ring with him, so we shouldn't be here too long (unless Lara has a granite chin...or something capable of resisting feather tickles...).

    You are correct, the promoters do have the ability to influence judges but I would argue it is more in the decision of which judges to appoint (and therefore which fighting styles they favour) than in the individual scoring.
