Judging Judges

Judging Judges

The official score-cards for last nights Pacquiao/Bradley fight show that the three judges were all in agreement in only 6 of the 12 rounds. As for the other 6 rounds, Steve Weisfeld was always in agreement with one of the other judges, while Dave Moretti was the odd man out (i.e. both other judges disagreed with his scoring) in 2 rounds, and Bert Clements was in disagreement with both of the other judges in 4 of the 12 rounds.

It would seem to me that this offers a way to judge the judges over time, but based on this one fight alone, I'd say that Weisfeld is probably the superior judge - and the commission should probably keep an eye on Clements.

Make sense?
