    Absolutely. Here's what I posted on another forum:

    Suggestion: In my view, last night’s awful verdict adds to a case for stipulating that title fights should be scored by three judges. ONE referee (or judge—remember the judge who thought Froch was winning!) may get things wrong, but there’s less of a chance that TWO of the three judges will get things wrong, and deliver an unjust verdict.

    Question: When it’s clear that the vast majority feel a referee or judge has made an awful decision, what happens? In last night’s case, can the Board make O’Connor watch a tape of the fight and give his rationale for scoring the rounds the way he did? Or is no action ever taken?

    Or Michael Alexander :-(

    He would score Calzaghe vs Lacy 115-114 to JC!

    Definitely, there's no reason why they shouldn't use 3 judges and let the referee concentrate on doing his job.
