Worst Robbery in a long time: WHEN is it gonna stop?!

I've never seen a fight judged that poorly in England. Granted: There have been one or two close fights where arguably the less deserving fighter got the nod, but nothing like last night, which was an entirely different level of 'corrupt'. Don't try and make out that they're equivalent; they're not.

 

Mckenzie's scoring was bad and the play-by-play guy called him out on it a few times during the fight. But, at the end of the day, Duke had Del winning (by one round), as did the Americans on Epix and also the Brits in the studio (who all had it wide).

 

America is just as bad -

Paul Williams (against Lara & Martinez 1)
Poor Lucas Mattyhes getting jobbed against Judah and Alexander
Mike Jones against Sota Karras
Broner against Ponce de Leon.

etc etc etc

 

i watch this 3 times and HOW did chisora lose this? complete robbery!!!

 

As a commentator Duke is a ****in' Moron. 'Twas a robbery of the highest order and like was said that big nosed bald ****er knew he had the decision in his pocket whatever played out in the ring. Farcical.

 

Italian judges dont like black people. Or they like Sauerland money. Or both.

 

I watched the fight 10 meters away of the ring and while I do agree that Chisora should've gotten the decision, during first half of the fight Helenius landed a lot more than Chisora did. Chisora's punches were mostly blocked by Helenius's turtle defense. Between rounds 6-10 Chisora had 2 - 3 rounds where he was superior, but the last two rounds were pretty competitive again.

I have not seen the fight on video yet, but all the outrage about a 'Robbery' is pretty much exaggerated in my opinion since it was a very competitive fight between two good fighters and Chisora was the only one of the two that got stunned by opponent's punches during the fight at least 2 times. Helenius was never hurt by Chisora's attacks.

Therefore, calling this bout one of the worst robberies in recent time is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

 

Every Hook was getting past his shell, every body punch was landing dont talk **** you stupid finn

 

The fight should be available in youtube by now. Watch the fight. Talk to me after that.

 

Yes, it was a horrible robbery, but for once I'm not too upset about it:

If Helenius' hand wasn't broken, despite his appalling lack of defensive skills, he would have surely won by KO. - And Chisora, despite showing surprising offensive skills, will NEVER have KO power.

If Helenius improves his motivation & defense, hw could easily be HW champion. Chisorsa has zero chance.

So, would you really want a Chisora victory, given the sad state of the HW division? Yes, he clearly deserved the decision, but it would have been very bad for the fans, in the long run.

 

Ive watched it plenty, you dont know **** about boxing. :rofl:rofl

 

Most Finnish people in Hartwall arena felt that Chisora should've gotten the decision. It does not mean that this decision was near any of the worst robberies in boxing history. Home town decisions have been and will always be in professional boxing...
