Drop the freakin headgear and make em fight till one gets KO'ed or quits. I guess that is extreme but this other version is pretty unwatchable.

The judges sit in different areas, too. So only one may have a good angle to see the hit. It's crazy. The rule is that the white part of the glove has to land in the front of the head or body without touching any part of the other person's gloves, arms, etc first. I have no idea how these people can see something that's happening that quick. I've been watching a lot of the boxing on Universal HD, and the problems with the scoring haven't created any controversial winners yet, but it's only a matter of time.
