    I didn't find it that bad

    they called pedrazas punches and got excited during the knockdown

    I've never really liked tessitore, not too fond of kriegal, I do think Bradley is great

    Right, as evidenced by how they responded to GGG's fight against Canelo. They cheered GGG since Canelo was running most of the fight. They were actually pulling for a GGG decision.

    Fans need to realise that this is an issue across all countries.....

    Sky/HBO/Showtime/BT etc all do it.


    It's the same with 'Home Cooking' - Favorable refs, premature stoppages, pre-filled cards....It happens everywhere.


    Too many times i've seen people arguing 'Typical British Stoppage'....'Typical American Cards'....'You can't win a decision in Germany' etc etc.




    The sooner we realise the problem is global, perhaps fans will stop arguing with one another and look at the corporations involved.

    Nobody mentioned that fighters get older in the ring overnight.Beltran looked shot he couldn't pull the trigger.Never got in position to throw hard left hooks to the body and didn't t throw enough punches.Great respect for Beltran and his long climb to be a champ but as we have seen renetly with siri salido and all great champs at the end of their runs its time to retire.Teddy Atlas is the only commentator who tells it like he sees it unfortunately he pissed to many people off.

    Ive got to admit I was pulling for Beltran Boxing has never given him a thing he EARNED the success he had. He just came up short last night I scored it 115-112 to Pedraza he deserved the win

    CJ everyone who follows boxing knows it can be corrupt and fights can be fixes.Commentators go with whichever fighter is backed by the network or the favored fighter.Teddy was taking shots at Marc Kriegel and Bernardo Osuna Plus went wacko after the Manny decision justifiably so.. Was just making the point that teddy would have seen that Beltran was shot and probably would have mentioned it and I miss Teddy's insight.

    The Beltran ‘story’ has been horribly overplayed for ages now by ESPN and HBO.

    ESPN went hard with it!
    I would not be surprised if they even play his loss to Pedraza as controversial. Beltran himself said that the KD was the difference. GTFO. Dude got pretty much dominated and won one round.

    I saw the fight on ESPN Dportes and even with most of His staff are Mexicans or Mexicans Americans they clearly had Pedraza ahead and didn't bias to their local fighter.
