    your math is off.

    Assuming a 1/40 chance of Bradley getting the nod, the probability of 2/2 randomly selected judges scoring the fight for Bradley is the joint probability 1/40 * 1/40 = 1/1600.

    But that's not right either. Because there was a sample of 3. So we need the compute the probability that 2/3 judges scored it for bradley.

    And the probability of that happening is .0018 (I'll spare you the math)

    his stats made me rewatch rounds 8 and 11. 11 was a definite Timmeh round. emmanuel didn't do too much in 8 outside of landing 2-3 punches.

    I still stand by Timmmeh winning the 1st, 10-12th. 8 can arguably go to either.

    Timmeh at best won 5 rounds. Now only if HBO did their job right, no one would be thinking Timmeh only won like 2 rounds at most

    How about- headphone for judges? Or someway to reduce the amount of audience noise. Put them in soundproof booths if you have to. This obviously is the not the case for this fight, but just do it anyway. Makes sense.

    i dont think it will mean anything unless the judges views are better.

    Just made this. Each frame has a 0.1 second delay. You just need a high quality video and then you crop it.

    I'm pretty sure the blind 74 year old Ford would tell you all of those missed wildly because the arrogant old **** cant admit that he is too old to judge a fight.

    They should have 7 judges, the two highest extremes and lowest extremes should be thrown out and they should only count the 3 averages
