Re: How could Boxing be improved????

The % of "bad judgeing" in the pros compared to the ameteurs isnt even comparable, believe me i know. And maybe i havent read enough of your posts to see you say that there ARE biased and untrained judges so my impression WAS wrong and iv corrected that. I will say that the judgeing on the...
