  • May need to start scoring holding and faints since there is more of it than fighting nowadays. Holding still a foul???

  • WBC…BLAH BLAH BLAHHHHH!!! Hard to eliminate the practice of scoring based on subjectivity and scoring based on external influences (i.e. money and favors). However, never give up trying to minimize or eliminate negative, boxing scoring practices – sadly though, it will only end when the world ends.

  • Why cant there just be three monitors at the judges disposal . When the camera switches to a better angle they simply just have to look at the other monitor in front of them. Something needs to change because they should not be watching 3 different fights

    • All judges need to do is pay attention. You cant use monitors because people shooting the fight are programmers. Essentially the audience sees the technical directors view of the action. Bottom line is there needs to be a wider pool of judges and a more fair system of selection. The process itself is beaurocratic.
