WBC overturned judges scoring and title fight result...

[Wales]

Someone mentioned Kerry Hope in another thread. Remember he lost a fight on the cards for the WBC Asian Boxing title against a Thai in Thailand in 2015. One judgr scored it a draw on the night, one gave it Hope by 6 and one against Hope by 2.

WBC viewed the fight back on tape, changed the decision from a draw to a Hope win (scoring it 117-111 on all 3 cards), and suspended two of the judges until they'd undergone rigourous further training.

Has this happened many other times? I can think of numerous other fights that could've been taken to appeal.

Don't think it has but needs to be done much more often.

The issue is the WBA make FIFA under Blatter look as clean as a whistle.

You mean he drew the fight and it was not one judge drawn and two giving it to Hope, that would have still been a win to Hope, but glad to know that Judges are being corrected, if wrong, shame they can't have someone doing it on the night.
