Why mistakes made by score judges are not corrected after the fight?

Post by dagilechia »

i remember some fights where a fighter obviously won like 90% of the rounds and the scores were 60-54, 59-55, 55-59 and it was an obvious mistake made by judge, he just mistaken the cards. why this kind of mistakes are never corrected after the fight or at least why those judges are not even punished?

Like the judge who scored Burnett-Haskins. He had it wide for Haskins then admitted he didn’t know which boxer was which? I think he was Italian.

Not sure if they changed it to UD instead of SD.

i checked it out, they did. but i know of 2 such a fights from this year in Poland and the results were not changed and i guess that Burnett-Haskins is an rare exception, also in the USA or UK the results are usually not changed.
