True, like the 2 judges at the cotto clottey fight 116 -111 & 115 - 112? give me a break. These guys should really have to answer to someone
I had a look at some of his record... he didn't seem to be the odd man out in MD/SD fights *that* often, though it did happen. Certainly seems cozy with the WBO. It'd be cool to see the WBO make a statement about it as he's clearly "one of their guys" and screwed up.
Yea same here. Didn't see anything that out of the ordinary. i think someone is just jumping to conclusions
On the SIX PAGES of his record, there is ONLY 1 or 2 fights where he has not favored the European based fighter compared to the other judges. SIX PAGES of his history and he favors the European based fighter 99% of the time.
Paul Thomas scored Alldis vs Padilla a DRAW, which Padilla won by MD (he dominated the fight). Of course, Alldis is an ENGLISHMAN (like Paul Thomas), and this brings me to the Calzaghe-Reid fight. Paul Thomas scored it 116-111 for Reid, and the other two judges scored it 116-111 for Calzaghe. Again, Reid is ENGLISH and Calzaghe is not. Other mafia judges are Manuel Maritxalar (who scored Sven Otkke's fights with Charles Brewer and Byron Mitchell in favor of Otkke) and Franz Marti who scored Otkke vs Reid 117-112 in favor of Reid!
The Brit judge (113/113) should be banned, period, end of story. If he's not on the take then he's obviously grossly incompetent. No excuse either way. You don't make a "mistake" like that! It was clear to a blind man that Sasha did not even come close to winning more than 2-3 rounds no matter how you try and slice it. A Draw??? OK... You're fired.
I never trust judges to determine the true winner because of the frequency of these bizzarre decisions I'm almost never sure when a fight goes 2 the judges even when the winner is obvious
What about Chuck Giampa, he scored Morales-Barrera II to Barrera by 8 rds to 4 & had Chavez ahead vs Taylor, thats just the tip of the iceberg with this idiot. :-(
