    Ridiculous. I'm sure robberies have existed for dozens of years in boxing but im soo close to just packing it in.

    Honestly wtf is the point? This is no longer a sport. The worst thing of all is that it's got to a stage where we all knew it'll be a robbery. We expect these horrendous decisions! And bob arum will walk around next week and the world will have forgotten about this. No1 will question him. No1 will call him out on it. Rios will pretend he clearly won.

    I'm just having a ***** fit and obviously I'm not gonna actually stop watching the ''sport ''. But I've never felt this pissed and felt this close to just giving up on boxing for good. Sickening.

    I'm finding it increasingly harder and harder to sell this sport to my friends or colleagues

    Anyone else feel the same?

    Pretty much.

    Boxing needs a complete overhall. Starting with the lobotomy of Bob Arum.

    Nope, done with Bob Arum and anything he touches. Get rid of that, and hell good half of the robberies will clear the **** up.

    I am done. I will maybe watch the odd fight with Mayweather and guys like Froch if it is on. But I refuse to waste my time on this ****. It is as bent as ****.

    What´s the point?

    That robbery was a ****ing disgrace, and nothing will get done about it.

    Boxing is an embarrassment. A joke.

    This kinda sounds bad but I've become a bit numb to robberies. Any oldschool fan smelled a robbery cookin' in the 6th or 7th round... Even after the blatant theft of his victory, everyone, EVERYONE who saw the fight knows who came out as the better man at the end, no matter what the so-called judges say.

    I'm a fan of the sport. I'm not gonna buy into a judge's decision and ignore Richard Abril going forward, when I know damn well he won that fight. That would be the douchy, shallow thing to do IMO.

    Many people say that but end up coming back anyways. Boxing has had robberies for a long time as they've been around since the mafia got involved I think? Something has to be done with these paid off refs and judges though my love for this sport still remains.
