I didn't have time to finish my post last night. But: boxing sometimes involves a good referee, and there are a few good judges. But that is not always the case. The promoter of a fight is in the position to select the referee and judges (top fighters can negotiate before signing for a fight). Thus, in many if not most cases, those officials are working for the promoter. If they want to be re-hired for the next card, they will tend to reflect the will of the promoter. Although I love boxers, and have the greatest respect for most fighters I have had the pleasure to know, the sport is as corrupt as politics. And there are judges so dishonest that they could make the USSC justices who installed Bush as president blush.
