Should a referee score a fight?
Simon Euan Smith examines the issue of whether a referee is in the best place to judge a fight
IN his editorial last year, “The Bog of Eternal Stench” (BN October 22), discussing the problems in scoring bouts, Matt Christie wrote: “An eternal debate is the issue of point of view. Who really has the best view?” My mind went back to 1968, when I attended a “Boxing Brains Trust,” chaired by former BN editor Gilbert Odd. From the audience I asked the panel (which included British and Commonwealth bantam champion Alan Rudkin) their views on the relative merits of referee only or referee plus judges. Gilbert had no doubts – the referee moves around the ring, whereas a judge is watching from one fixed position. At the time, major bouts in Britain couldn’t be televised “live,” and Gilbert said: “You go to a fight, then watch it on TV the next night – it’s a different fight.” He was strongly in favour of “referee only.”
