Where do the judges sit in Olympic amateur boxing?

I understand the 5 buttons, 3 within-a second stuff – but where are they actually positioned? If I’m watching a pro fight I’ve got into the habit of keeping my own scorecard and am almost always within-a point or at the most 2 or the judges. The Olympic amateur scoring system does not seem to reward good boxing – Quickly landed combinations can not count.

    Usually They are evenly spaced around the ring to allow the angles to judge the most punches. If one does not see it, the others will.

    The Judges sit around the side of the ring. You can see them with Their little buttons in front of them on the TV coverage. Amateur Boxing and Pro Boxing are basically two different sports, Especially with the button system. However, just look at the ’88 Seoul games and you will understand why It Is not left to a more subjective eye like the Pro version.

    There’s one seated at ringside in the middle of Each side. It does not seem to work very well. Are not scored many good punches, and some punches are Questionable.
