Well MMA sort of has the same problem and the scoring system is based on boxing largely. What it is is that you have judges who value different things and see things differently. For example one might consider power punches the most significant thing in the fight. Another might care more about who seems to be going forwards versus backwards. Another might care most about damage done. With MMA 90% of issues are related to how they score a takedown in relation to other things.

I only watched the first round entirely and most of the second round. I skipped ahead and only watched parts of the other rounds when I saw it was going to be boring. But I was tempted to give round one to Alvarez myself. Compubox stats don't always tell the full story.

Someone on Sherdog made a suggestion that I think is possible. They mention the odds for a majority decision were 21:1. That is a good point in that one judge has a lot of influence there and could potentially give someone a nice payout if they were corrupt. It would be easy to do.
