No one usually knows the winner of a horse race until it ends. I have seen a horse come from behind in seconds and win by a nose. That probably is true of many races, but I'm only interested in horse racing.
It's also true of sports like figure skating, where the judges confer on the decision (though those can be fixed).

No, scoring in boxing matches is subjective. You, the spectator, just think you know who is the leader.jester wrote:The same could be said for boxing, the "right" answer.canvasbck wrote:I don't mean to be a nit but, I'm pretty sure you know who the leader is during a race.
