That's not fun and that's not what people like to see, as a fan of boxing, I'd still love to see the crowd and judges near the boxing ring to score the match, that is the normal one and that set up gives us a lot of entertainment despite watching them live on TV only.

Yes, but we are in a pandemic right? Of course their first priority is not to have fans around.

Of course I understand that there is no fans, I am just saying it's not fun to watch games like that, maybe you have different opinion but that is my opinion, however if the fight will happen with the propose set up, I might try to watch and let's see how I would feel watching it.

They are making ways to continue making money, but not the way to give people full entertainment.

I think what they wanted to do is let boxing continue during this crisis.

The intention maybe good but I think it's the right thing to do at the moment.

Of course, there are still a lot of concerns here, but maybe, just maybe this will work if ever boxing will continue in this crisis. What do you guys think? Is this feasible?

Sharing my couple of Sats. I did not read the article, though.

I don't think this is feasible. This is probably just the greedy Sulaiman losing patience on when to earn his next easy money. He better wait for the perfect time for boxing to resume smoothly and safely.

How many times has it been said that watching at ring side is a world different from watching from a screen? How many times have wannabe analysts, judges, and commentators been admonished for protesting and insisting on their own views and scoring outcome because judging the match from TV is really incomparable to judging it live and right in front of your eyes?

They would have to make do with limited angles and POVs in order to score the boxer's performance in a round. It may not be the most difficult thing to do but it will certainly provide lots of lapses in the scoring and may not even be just and fair to either side of the ring. Also, the boxers, referees, cameramen and technical staff are in the same room, so why not get the judges in the room as well if they really want to push through with this? All industries are hurting, and I don't know why boxinf associations are still trying to make something work knowing that it is a contact sport and there is a possibility of virus transmission within the room where they want to hold this event.

They cant wait much more thats why they are proposing things as long these events would push through by these means.

When it comes to lapses or missed scores then its understandble.Come to think even if they are on beside the ring, mistakes
do still happen.

Why they cant just sit just like other sports organizations do?

If they are planning to open boxing and wanted to put events in empty stadiums like UFC is planning to do this weekend they are do and have the option of remote scoring but i think UFC is going with the same stipulation with everything including judging and the only difference is empty stadiums. The success of the upcoming UFC event will determine whether other individual sports can start their schedule.

I don't see what the big deal is, this might actually be better for the sport.

If you think about it, judges sit ring side and only see part of the action, they're completely oblivious to everything they don't see, unless the ref points it out.

With the correct camera angles, judges should be able to do a better job of scoring the fight fairly. Which might help avoid some of the robberies we've seen in the past (ahem Fury vs Wilder I)

This should be the case with every boxing match, whether remote or not tbh. Judges should use all the info available to them, not just what they can see within their limited perspective.

Its still different if judges are on the ring side rather that on having that remote scoring.Well, cameras can be put up in all angles but doesnt mean that it would give out
the same perspective compared when you are beside on the actual fight.

It seems that they cant just wait anymore and do find out solutions just to make these fights happen or resume.I dont know if majority would agree to this kind of set
up but on my part, they should wait up for this pandemic to be over and watching boxing on remote scoring isnt really that convincing for me.

It would be funny how they will cope up when there will be technical difficulties during the match or there are unexpected power interruption Grin

Yes, this is another issue that they need to look at as well. Grin

I don't know but I think the plan is kinda stupid. if they let boxers do it, judges might as well be present there. How many judges are there in a boxing match? Not that many and they can be seated far from each other as they watch and score.

Only 3 judges.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on May 06, 2020, 07:09:10 AM

I also wonder why they're willing to risk the fighters while being cautious about judges' health? If they are not ready, they should just wait until the V is somewhat contained.

Maybe they think that judges health are very important that's why they wanted them to be on the priority list that needs to be protected. I agree that they should be present to judge the fight live.

Perhaps a "test fight" first and then see how it goes. But high profile fights specially with WBC belt on the line, those judges need to be present in the arena because it might cause another judges scoring controversy.

They have a solution for the judges but how's the two fighters? there's no social distancing for the both of them. I appreciate that they're making a solution how they can continue a fight but they should also be concerned to their boxers.
And for the scoring, they have to take time reviewing the match quickly.

These people are punching each other in the face, trying to knock each other out cold.

I really don't think they are worried about coughing and sneezing on each other in the fight.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a boxing match where the fighter sneezes. You would think that at some point in a 36 minute fight that at least one of the competitors would sneeze.

Now that I think of it, haven't seen much coughing either. Are boxers immune to the flu? /s

I don't know why boxers can fight but judges cannot attend the match, boxers are on the risk here not the judges, so why they are absent, I agree that if there's power interruption, the match will be stopped, this is something that they should be addressed and besides they cannot see the best angle and the whole situation and they might give a wrong decision, it's really a stupid idea.

The article says 50 is allowed, and judges are critical obviously for scoring, I think they should be in the venue itself. So don't think this will work out, in my opinion.

1 boxer has three in his corner so that makes 8 already + referee, so there still room for people inside like the 3 judges so I don't know why they have been prioritised to score outside as they can be accommodated to the max 50 people.

Looks like they can't wait anymore or they already see that it will take time before boxing event can resume to operate on its normal.

This is the new normal they like to impose, but these is not gonna be entertaining IMO, there might be no risk for the judges of getting infected but since they are watching it live, I don't think they'll be able to see all the angle they like to see to score properly, also, what if the live stream will be interrupted? What would happen to the scoring then,.. I'm not saying I am against but I just think it's not viable. .

it would be better if the judges are their while no fans are allowed inside the arena.

WBC (World Boxing Council) headed by Mauricio Sulaiman of Mexico, is thinking are explorer the possibility of using remote scoring if ever they will have a sanctioned bout in this Covid-19 pandemic.

Quote

The WBC is attempting to do its part to limit its number of onsite personnel. The “Remote Official Judging” rollout calls for its officials score WBC-sanctioned bouts either live from home or in a secluded area elsewhere, in lieu of being seated ringside on three separate sides of the ring as is normal industry standard. Judges will be required to wear headphones under such a plan, with the workflow as follows:

- Judges access live video/audio of the fight
- Judges and WBC Supervisor log into a secure WBC portal
- Judges score each round in real-time
- Commission and WBC Supervisor finalize results and hand to ring announcer
- WBC Supervisor transposes electronic scores to hard copy master sheet
- Scores feed to site admin consolidated report

Of course, there are still a lot of concerns here, but maybe, just maybe this will work if ever boxing will continue in this crisis. What do you guys think? Is this feasible?
