    if it's not outright corrupt, it's definitely 100% incompetent. he's worse than a politician trying to cover up a sticky situation. of course everyone knows you score each round independently. but when the entire world sees it one way and you have one idiot who sees it another way, something's wrong. and when it's the same idiot that saw another clear fight the other way, something's really wrong.

    This judge, CJ, is a complete joke. She is incompetant, corrupt, or both. What they should do with her next time is have her judge a fight and use a standard. For instance, the director or a committee should evaluate the same fight as her and see if her score is relatively similar. If not, dispose of her.

    People like CJ are ruining the sport. If I was about to fight in a big fight that I was favored, I would appeal to not have her on the scoring decision. If I was the underdog, I would appeal her to be on my scoring decision. Manny got screwed by her. There should be no more victims of her corruption or stupidity.

    I'm glad the other judges know what they are doing.

    All I can say is Money May!!!!

    Judge CJ (I'm blind) Ross has stated that she is stepping down indefinitely due to the uproar over the scoring she submitted for the fight

    That is good news! A quote I'm reminded of is that "on any board, panel, commission or the like; if all vote consistently the same, than all but one are unnecessary." That said, I don't begrudge her the ability to see the fight differently and score accordingly, but to have been soooo far out of step with her peers, fans, etc. means she was watching a different fight for whatever reason and that's not good for the integrity of the sport.

    Yeah, she was also watching a different fight for the Pacquiao / Bradley fight, which was equally as one sided
