I'd argue Crosby is the worst mma judge of all time since he's not incompetent he's just insanely biased. Byrd and D'amato just clearly don't know what the fuck they're doing

I am gonna have to agree to disagree

I think all 3 have some element of corruption in them...I think Judges have been placed and bought off in many fights in MMA

that is just me though

Incompetence/bias is just a veil they operate under

If we had full view of their finances I bet we see some deposits to back my theory

Judges are groomed and placed and told how to judge for certain fights IMO



the moment Vegas puts a line on a Sport is the moment corruption infiltrates IMO

Decent point it definitely wouldn't surprise me at all

I always view the world thru that lens...never certain but always suspicious

so take it(my thoughts) with a grain of salt

But all combat sports get corrupted at times(see GGG vs Canelo split decision to rob bettors and make Vegas hundred Million or more, unanimous GGG was the smart bet)...that was Byrd and she really had no reason to be there other than that IMO

bigger the betting from public the more corruption comes into play...that is my take and what history dictates

How in the fuck does an athletic commission allow this for the 2nd fucking time?!
Trying to follow here... You are complaining that Doug judged a fight where his friend competed and yet he gave the fight to his friend's opponent? Am I missing something? Was that sarcasm and Doug has some static with Nik? Thanks for the clarification.

Most gave it a 30-27, while he gave a round to his friend

Yeah but he gave an L to his friend. I think that is more of a feather in his cap than a point of contention.
notice they hid his round by round scoring...other judges showed theirs

didn't see the fight, but you could possibly see his bias if you watch the round he gave his man

interesting to say the least...it shows an anomaly, and those should always be looked at... to keep judges Educated or Licensed IMO

This. All three were corrupted a long time ago & there is no coming back from it. Time to send them packing.

Yep, I bumped the old splinty thread from after masvidal fight...I must have been ragin on another site at that time, cause I'm not in it

MMA needs some new blood and integrity in the Judges...It should not be a lifelong gifted position...should be earned fight to fight, year to year IMO

should be almost exclusively fighters judging fights(as you said in that thread)

Well maybe it's because I hate round by round scoring for MMA and think it is worthless at best but a loss is a loss to me...

yes a loss is a loss

Yet, if bets are taken on split or unanimous decision....lot of money to be made by bettors/fixers and vegas by assuring a split

I also don't like round by round scoring...Right with ya there homeboy
