[blackrican23]

The DC Boxing and Wrestling Commission is conducting an investigation into a bizarre scorecard turned in by judge Lloyd Scaife following Saturday’s heavyweight bout between Luis Ortiz and Tony Thompson at theDC Armory in Washington,D.C.RingTV.com has learned.

 

Scaife, a local judge from the D.C. area, gave new meaning to the term “hometown judging” with his tallies. Among his peculiar findings, he scored the third round 10-9 for Thompson even though it was a round in which Ortiz knocked Thompson down. The other two judges, Tammye Jenkins and Paul Wallace both scored the third round 10-8 for Ortiz. 

Scaife scored the first round 10-9 in favor of Ortiz even though Ortiz knocked Thompson down and otherwise dominated his opponent in the round. Jenkins and Wallace both scored the first round 10-8 for Ortiz. Scaife also scored the fifth round 10-9 for Thompson, even though both Jenkins and Wallace scored the round 10-9 for Ortiz, who seemed to clearly win the round. At the time of the stoppage, Jenkins and Wallace both had Ortiz ahead 50-43, while Scaife had Ortiz leading Thompson by just a point, 48-47.

The commission will likely release a statement on Friday describing its findings and whether Scaife will be disciplined. “Everyone is trying to figure out just what happened,” the source said.
