Maybe Boxing Needs More Than Three Judges
By Jason McIntyre
"I found 18 reporters of varying reputation that scored the fight round-by-round … Treating the judges as robots that will adhere to these percentages when judging each round, we can calculate the chances that Bradley would be judged the winner purely by random bad judging, thus answering the question posed in the title of this post. Pacquiao wins: 99.38% Draw: 0.59% Bradley wins: 0.03%"
Crazy result, indeed. Which is one reason why everybody’s talking about the fight being fixed. [Ken Pom]
