Boxing 2.0

I was planning to examine the cool website FightJudge.com in depth a little bit later -- and I still plan to. But Corey Shelton, who runs the site, wants to let boxing writers know about a new feature in time for tonight's Ricky Hatton - Jose Luis Castillo fight. Fight Judge lets any fan log in and score a boxing match live. The software makes it easy to do, and it's free; you enter your scoring after every round while watching TV. Writers can do it from ringside with a laptop computer. The site does the math to compute your score. And then it shows what everyone who scored the fight thought. The new postfight feature: you can get a graphic of your scorecard (as above) to keep and use for publication, if you so desire.

More on Fight Judge later.
