Ah this old chestnut is banded around everytime someone gets completely shafted in america. Any german posters here? Is this what you used to say when some got shafted against ottke? What's german for it could have gone either way. Can we just say that any fight could have gone either way? I mean when roy jones lost in the Olympics its could have gone either way i. My opinion, they were both in the ring fighting so of course it could have gone either way.
