As a reminder of how unreliable judges are, there are some totally fucked-up score-cards than don't get talk about as much as they should, because in the end the right person won. But deep down, you know how bad it looks and how close we've been to a blatant robbery.
Felder vs RDA is the obvious most recent case, but I still can't believe Cyborg vs Holm was scored 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47 when Cyborg severely out-struck her both in volume and power in every single round and zero TD were attempted on either side.
All three judges gave Holm the second round, where she was out-struck 21 to 4 and didn't do anything outside of some wall'n'stall that lead to nothing. Her total striking accuracy was 19% during the fight, which means she kept missing and the judges somehow thought that her shitty punches landed.
Do you have other examples?
