Sal D'Amato shouldn't be allowed to buy a ticket, much less judge fights

He scored
-Benson vs Frankie 1 he had it 49-46 Benson
-Shields vs Woodley for Jake.
-Davis vs Machida for mr wonderful
-Arlovski vs Schaub for Arlovski
-had Cruz vs TJ, 49-46 TJ, I guess he hates point fighting.

But he did score Munhoz-Edgar for Pedro, Benson vs Cowboy 3 for Cowboy, MJ vs Dariush for MJ. Those 3 I agree with him there

Just an absolute disgrace of judging a fight. The NSAC should suspend him immediately pending a review.

Smart fight bt Strickland, even if it wasn't that exciting. Great at the jab and controlling distance.

Let’s have a seriously legit convo here…

Was this corruption?

I ask because I saw a betting line for Strickland via UD, and it was a “boost” so the odds were like 2.5/1. Anyone who saw Sean winning a decision knew it would likely be wide, so if you’re going to back a Decision for Sean, why not double your odds with a UD?

Sal does this, Sean still wins, but the bookies don’t lose a boatload of cash.

Thoughts!?
 
He's been at it for probably 20 years. It's a government position, very little oversight. All jobs, reffing and judging included, are better if done by private companies. The customer can be the reviewer.

Even in countries where there is no athletic commission, & where the UFC picks the judges, the UFC has chosen to use him

Which would be strange. There is a long list of his mistakes.
 
1 3 and 5 apparently.

The only round where both judges disagreed with was round 5, which I gave to Hermanson.

I don't see how 2 judges gave him rd3.

Co main was also split when it shouldn’t have been. Judges tried to sabotage the night.

I could see it. But I didn't see how Hermanson got 2,3 or 4.

I looked at the judges scorecards and Sal scored it 1,3,5 for Jack. Another judge gave Jack the third as well. The third judge gave Jack the first. Not corruption, as two judges gave Jack the third. I don’t agree with Sal’s card, but what can you do. He somehow gave all three of the close rounds to Jack.

I am convinced he must be close friends with someone high up in the UFC, because he has an abysmal track record. Its not just a 1-off where he blatantly gets it wrong, its possible he doesn't even watch the fights & just writes down any random score. I have no idea but its strange
 
Agreed, he is very inconsistent, he is going the way of the next Cecil Peoples
 
hes pretty bad, but this isnt the fight that should have you worried. there were several close rounds.

should have kept the original scoring system. ppl who wanted to change it or continue to ask for change are kinda retarded.
 
Sal D'Amato should not be allowed to buy a ticket, or even allowed to enter the arena for free after that atrocious scoring. I doubt he was even watching the fight for all 5 rounds. Maybe was hung over the whole night, to come up with that ridiculous score.

Haven't watched since it was on live but I remember thinking shields won too because Woodley did dick
Those Cruz/TJ Benson/Frankie scores are atrocious though
 
whose dick is he sucking ??

I'm kinda surprised fighters haven't gone after him physically and just beat him down.

His ridiculous decisions can literally change someone's future.

Might be bc that's illegal And called assault and can result in a decent amount of jail time and will 100% guarantee you lose your job.
