    They are destroying the sport of boxing now. We will see more and more robberies in the professional boxing in the future.
    Judges should not be blamed if the fight is very close, but Wilder vs Fury was not even a close fight.

    Nothing. This crap sells. Everyone on this site will moan and complain but go on social media and everyone (casuals) eat it up.
    I made a thread earlier that got no traction about going back to newspaper (consensus) opinions. As someone that loves the history of the sport I hate what we are seeing recently with more and more regularity.
    If we went by newspaper decisions - Kovalev would of defeated Ward. Triple G would still be champ and Fury would have the WBC belt. All 3 results would of been far less controversial than “the official” result.

    Saw this happen to some EE amateur a year or two ago. Ref obviously paid off. Boxer knocks him out. I applaud, pussies around here wring their silk handkerchiefs and get feint. How dare he? Guy gets banned for life.

    Nobody will be jailed for disagreeing with you even if they disagree with majority.

    There is nothing you can do in a subjective sport like boxing. There will always be close rounds where some people, even if small minority will lean the other way, and that's enough to let wide judging have a pass.

    In reality the only thing you can do is propose a new way to score fights. Nothing short of placing some computer chips in the gloves (and face/head) or using compubox counts will work.

    We have to feel sorry for them and be supportive, they are less fortunate than most of us. They haven’t got the privilige to see the the sunrise, the green of grass, the colours of autumn. they sit in darkness and rely on their other senses to judge fights and considering all that, they do a decent job

    Would give judges work ? Take the 3 middle scores and discard the 2 scores which are potential outliers

    Barely.
    The real issue is that most judges aren't impartial and it's too easy for them to score it for the guy they want to win.

    My solution is the both sides selecting and veto option. That way, home scorers would be out of work pretty damn soon and judges would be forced to be on the level to have a job.
    Issue is, that poweful promoters, alphabet orgs and national and state commisions don't want that to happen because they'd lose a lot of control over who wins.
