Has an announcer when reading out the judges verdicts made a comment or made it obvious that they disagree with the decisions that he is reading aloud, in the case of a clear cut robbery.
I always thought it would be kind of funny or interesting if say a Michael Buffer looks at the cards...shakes his head, mumbles..."this is bullshit..and the winner is...."
Has an announcer ever....

I'm sure that would go against the contract. Would be funny as hell though.
as a ring announcer i admit to thinking it all the time
when im announcing a event and it goes to the judges and they score it differently from what i saw
of course i never say anything outloud but it is funny when i do announce it and even the ref looks at me "like do what" "you got to be kidding"
so im sure other announcers think it also but our professionalism keeps us from saying anything

The most I have ever heard was an off-mic, "Wow" (we had great seats) on the undercard to Tszyu-Leija, when someone got robbed.
In the Foreman-Ellis fight, 1991, Buffer is speaking of the Pearl Harbour anniversary & says something like, "Let us never forget the horror & tragedy..." & sort of half trails off in an amusing display of utter disinterest
