Is Sal D'amato the worst judge in MMA?

[Jeffy37]

Dave Tirrelli giving Costa a 49-46 over Strickland is as bad as I can remember.

Sal giving McKenna and Moreno the decision is worse

 

[JoeRowe]

He just gave Taira round 1

This fucking tool is the one that brought all 3 of the split decisions tonight, favoring the losers. How the fuck has he a job judging?

 

[Ares Black]

Yeah probably. He was especially bad tonight.

I don't remember their names. Sal is the name i hear alot in robbery discussions though so I gotta be him.

There was one judge who had Chito winning against Vera. I don't care what happens in the future, he's among the worst just for that. Same with the guy who had 30-27 Tuivasa when he got dominated by Rozy.

Chito vs Vera. Lol I understand
Maybe sandhagen? I remember being baffled at the split there.

I seem to remember him constantly getting fights incorrect and being the 1 dissenting judge way more often than most. I have been watching the prelims today and saw him do it again in the fight between Julia Polastri vs Cory McKenna where Julia clearly won rounds 1 and 2 and the fight 29-28 but somehow Sal had the fight for Cory.

Not sure if anyone has stats on split decisions with the minority opinion but I would expect D'amato to be one of the leading judges in this statistic. What do y'all think is there a more consistently bad judges than D'amato in MMA?

Him or Rice

Hands down the worst. I want pix of this mfer up in here!

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Morono was just as bad. Not only did D-Rod double him up in strikes in the 2nd & 3rd, but he gave him a cut & hematoma in round 2, and rocked him in round 3.

You're right it was pretty bad, I just can't remember if I posted this before the Moreno fight took place.

Yeah Sandhagen. The phone glitched on me for that one.

 

[2004 account]

Theres atleast 5 bribe taking officials

 

[Evbo]

Yes, closely followed by Adelaide Byrd

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Sal giving McKenna and Moreno the decision is worse

That screams of recency bias. The Strickland Costa score is way beyond those 2

 

[Goutfather]

We should have a full on Sal d’amato thread with pix of him, his social media and family.. just for fun

that sounds like a good time.

 

[Goutfather]

so everyone forgot about cecil peoples?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Just double checked Joe Soliz cuz it irritates me how bad he is.

Between the UFC and Bellator, he's entered scores for 13 decisions, 41 rounds total.
His scores went against fan majority in 10 of those, for 16 rounds total

I mean, fuckin hell


I'm on it as we speak. You on a phone? Sometimes that gets finicky. Try desktop version?

I tried both yesterday, might be traffic to my area to the site. Didn't try a vpn to change my location.

Not going lie, thats how I scored it in the PBP, feeling that Costa was fighting more effectively.

 

[jeff7b9]

Doug Crosby and Derek Cleary have earned a seat at the table for this conversation imo.

Sal too.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

That dumb bitch Adalaide Byrd.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Hands down the worst. I want pix of this mfer up in here!

Sal, Ron McCarthy and Chris Lee are the three musketeers of shit judging.

Nailed it.
