Quote Phil: "At the end of the day, there is always politics in boxing and other bases needed to be covered and this appointment allowed that to be covered without leading to massive complications. Translation: Khoder demanded Milham be a judge and who are we to stop him...we are just the sanctioning body, no biggy.
So Phil am i right in thinking that should Mat lose to Zab ( as i suspect he will ) he will get first crack at the winner between # 60 & # 28 ranked because he was ranked # 1 before his anticipated loss ?
Phil has already made it clear that Hatton can fight the winner of Ndou v Ndou after the Zab fight. quote: "fight makes perfect sense to me" Note he didn't preface it by saying if he wins. That's because it wont matter. The IBO don't care too much about losses. :roll: Besides, does anyone care if Hatton gets the **** kicked out of him by Judah then fights Philip Ndou for the IBO belt straight after? :rofl :rofl
read it into it what you want Balders - you will anyway. Obviously I should phrased what I wrote better but I didn't. The fight I was talking about was Hatton-Judah: it's a very big payday for Matty - why wouldn't he take it, if he loses then he's lost his chance at the Ndou winner but he has a massive payday in the coffers but Judah is very beatable these days and anything can happen. Look you're obviously choked up about never actually achieving anything and would much rather have a crack at people that aren't afraid to have a go or have had some success. That's your go but to be honest I won'tbe bothering with your **** anymore. You take care now
lol. And you're successfull at what exactly? I'l tell you what you aren't successful at dickwad...being an online spokesperson for the IBO. You couldn't have ****ed up defending your organisation anymore if you tried. Do your counterparts read the **** you post? I'd ask you to blow me Phil but you probably couldn't get that right. It's been fun clowning you on two different boards.
Toe the line and the rewards are good. That would go with most sanctioning bodies. I'm sure Phil does the IBO proud. Off line. Although he did turn in a 120-108 scorecard for Hatton/Lazcano which had one repected journo call it "the worst scorecard ever".
I would say Eugenia Williams holds that distinction. Phil explained his position on that one and I for one see his point..If we are talking about the round in question where Hatton got badly rocked then got a little help from the ref, then I can see an arguement either way on it. Lazcano's period of ascendancy in that round was fairly short if my memories serves me correctly...It was all Ricky preceding that and once he got his senses backs it was all Ricky again. I think one of the others judges had almost the same as Phil.
I've questioned the appointment of a non IBO official to the Mundine-Geale and given my reason as to why I believe it happened. I'd be happy to accept a legitimate explanation and be proven wrong. So far the silence is deafening.
