    This should be STANDARD in boxing..... after the fighters have been interviewed, before the farewell address of the commentators, the judges should be interviewed..... and give an explenation for their scorecards. Their faces should be seen, and they should have a personal stake in their rending.

    Im sick of this ****.... and im not talking robbery, because im usually the guy trying to tell others hey, it was a close fight and i can see how someone could sway the other way. Im just talking about.... ok, a huge controversial decision, everyone is pissed.... and its like the judges just leave and have no accountability for their actions. Everyone is in an uproar for a few days, things die down..... until it happens again 6 months later, sometimes by the same judges!

    whats it gonna take for networks to start holding these people to their scorecards, and making them having to get on national tv and explain their decision. Might make a few put a little bit more into doing the job better, IMO.

    I don't know about interviewing them after the fight but I would like to see if they could somehow post the judges scorecards rd by rd after the fight and see how they judged each round.

    Last night I was thinking there is no way in hell Guzman won more than 4 rounds and not one but TWO judges have it a draw? I'd like to see what 6 rounds they gave to Guzman to get that score.

    IDK what the solution is besides not allowing incompetent judges to do big fight cards.

    Certainly disgusting how they are beyond reproach. There has to be a way of mediating their scores by an independant body and if deemed incompetant they shouldnt be allowed to judge.

    Judges fill in their scorecards before the fight then during fight time they will be mere spectators.

    They should definately be held accountable & if neccessary explain their scoring.

    although i think paul williams might have eeked out a very close fight, or the fight was a draw, that one scorecard was a complete crime and yet again, the judge responsible gets to slither away

    When every official in every other sport is held accountable, home cooking goes on in every sport, that is a fact of life.

    How many times did I see Williams' head knocked back?! How many times does it take?! Whatever, no wonder they hide the judges! They cheat because they know they can get away with it. A lot of noise needs to be made.
