Why does boxing still have three judges scoring a fight?

[HitmanTommy]

Too much room for corruption. Boxing scoring seriously needs an overhaul.

I've been saying this forever.

If not a major over-haul.... we at least need 5 judges on championship fights.

The judges would need to be about 3 feet above ring height also. That will obstruct some fan's seats, but... figure it out

Don't worry...in future AI will be in control of everything and we won't even need the judges. Deep learning to the rescue!

So...what is the alternative(s) ???

[sargo]

No 10-9 point must. If the round looks like a draw, score it a draw.

Take away confusing language like ring generalship - just used as an excuse to give a round to a favored fighter. Give the round to the one who hurt the other more. That's it.

[Murcielago]

I like the idea of having 5 judges but only using the 3 scores that are closest to each other each round.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I agree, there should be 5 judges.

Yeah what great constructive criticism. So much room for corruption, needs overhaul. Doesn't even offer an inkling of a suggestion or idea.

The crowd should have a say
