I got 1 way to fix it. Screw the Unified Scoring System agreed upon by the CSAC and NSAC and use the Pride rules.

I love the Yellow and Red card system for fighters who aren't willing to finish. That would have been huge in the Tito vs Forrest fight. Tito would have been Yellow and Red carded, lost some of his guaranteed $250,000.

Problem is that the CSAC and NSAC have a choke hold on the rules. They wont agree with the WAMMA rules and WAMMA nearly went to shit after that, losing Big John Pat Militech and others.

What should happen is WAMMA should lobby the UK to change their rules, get different rules established in Europe, then try and spread to other places, like South America, then maybe Canada. Then they would have more pull to change the rules elsewhere, but I still love Pride Rules (don't really care about the stomps and stuff, more so the scoring system and refereeing)

I actually agree, Pride rules are much more efficient.

I think these ideas are largely ridiculous....stick a camera in the face of every judge to analyze whether or not they looked at the ring girl? Place a media member at the judge's table? Random judge testing? Five Judges....ok maybe.

5 million years (i know exaggeration) of boxing have proven that judges are going to be judges. Beau is right...change to the pride rules if you don't like the current rules. But don't overcomplicate a already ridiculous system (did you actually use the word "ombudsman?") .

Otherwise (as I always say), the easiest current fix would be to announce the scores after each round. That will clear a lot of it up.

Pride rules have their own problems, of course. How many times have you seen yellow cards be given for no apparent (or a very bad) reason?
