    Yep, because boxing is the only sport with bad decisions.

    The first ones a disgrace, Hammil tooled Bisping.

    Hughes/Serra ain't that bad (although I cannot stand Hughes). Its the same level as Hendo/Franklin which I felt Rich won

    Exactly right.

    Sure...every knowledgable fight fan knows that the sport of boxing contains the more skilled athletes.
    But boxing now is dull, the judges are **** in close fights.....and it's all about dineros.


    MMA is affordable......on TV much of the time......and exciting. The best usually face the best.

    Bad decisions in every combat sport. But last night was a disgrace.

    I cannot stand Hughes and hate him more then any other fighter but I felt he edged Serra in a very close fight and franklin and Hendo had a very close fight as well. I wouldn't call either one a robbery. Bisping-Hamill, that was a different story.

    Yeah...Bisping-Hamill was a robbery. But considering where the fight was,...not surprising.

    It happens in boxing all the time.

    There are robberies in MMA but I wouldnt include Hughes/Serra or Hendo/Franklin as one of them.

    In MMA, there are some highway robberies in smaller local shows i've attended in Quebec.

    Hughes/Serra and Hendo/Franklin are close fights, not robberies.

    Difference with the Bisping Hammil robbery is the way EVERYONE kicked up such a fuss. Dana will have hated that, and make sure it doesnt happen again, unlike in boxing where it happens very often and has been going on for many decades

    Not necessarily true. I didn't see no rematch. Didn't want to hurt the stock of his British poster boy?!

    Thats absolute nonsense. In boxing the Judges are indepedant of the promoters the fighters, the sanctioning organisation on the line etc. You're talking a plethora of people who come together to make a whole that all have their own agenda. The UFC is the jury judge and executioner. They have to work with no one. Its not comparable in the slightest. Bad decisions happen in both sports.

    Hughes edged Serra with his lay and prey tactics I thought.
    I thought Akayama beat Belcher, despite how he looked after the fight.
    Hamill was robbed plain and simnple, that was one of the worst decisions I've seen.

    Both sports have bad decisions, it's the nature of the game unfortunetly.
