    Close fight is Holy Lewis 2. A robbery is Holy Lewis 1.

    This isn't changing the judging itself its changing how a winner is picked. Right now every judges vote is 1 regardless of context.

    Also while one rogue card can overwhelm the other 2 under my idea what about now when 2 close cards outweigh one clear one? Thats a more common scenario.

    In terms of Fury v Wilder I don't agree with the score itself but its hard to complain when the other guy scored 2 knockdowns flipping 4 points.

    With this system 4 or 5 judges would fix your concern though.

    With 4 or 5 judges, there'd be lower odds of a draw under current rules also... So why bother with the flawed addition?

    Depends whether the two close ones are the most justifiable (in which case, it's good that they overrule the clear, but rogue, one)... Or whether the two close ones are spun to rob a clear winner (and the clear/wide card is actually the correct one).


    It all comes down to balance - to be honest, I think the current setup is better than adding up points.

    Lomasexual? haha I am a Loma fan and have the upmost respect for him but I was cheering hard for my man Kambosos to beat him but of course an insecure clown like you would paint all Loma fans with the same brush. Everybody knows Tank has been ducking Loma for 6 years and has finally found his nuts now that Loma is almost 40 so nice try. Loma is a man of honor unlike clowns like you who count other men's money, men with honor can't be bought and you know nothing about that because you are a phony.

    Again you could not answer the question because you are a simpleton. We all know the answer so I wish comrade Vassily a happy retirement. He does not want to go out suffering a spectacular knockout.

    The number of indisputable rounds for the fighter that "lost".

    If half or more of the rounds boxed...robbery. Easy.

    You don't wish Loma happiness at all so stop being a phony. You and I both know that a prime Loma washes Tank but of course you will never admit that. Even now I wouldn't count out a 37 year old Loma in the fight that just shows how great he is but he will never get the respect from phony's like you.

    I am not counting Loma rather he Loma is counting himself out because he realises Tank will inflict a vicious KO on him. That’s the truth. Admit it as the truth will set you free.

    I don't need to be set free because I am not a phony like you. Loma has never ducked a fight in his life we can't say the same for Tank. 37 is a normal retirement age in boxing but of course that doesn't suit your agenda.

    Facts are he called Tank out and Tank answered his call and when the reality sunk in then Loma ducked. Keep making excuses for him and use it as a warm comfort blanket if that helps you.

    Why didn't Tank answer the call when Loma called him out a few years ago?

    Tanks now signed to fight Lamont Roach…

    Come on bro… if they don’t change the way they’re managing him he probably won’t even be making it into the HoF at this rate, and certainly won’t be going down in history as a great fighter… and the reason it’s sad is because he probably would if he got the fights….the guys exceptional and very talented…..

    ….but he’s making money and enjoying his life, so eh….maybe that’s all he wants out of it.

    He said he would and did. Guys call Tank out when he was not available but chicken out when he is.
