DISGUSTING

One other thing...
Taylor's constant whinging was that of man who was frustrated from the off and was venting as a result.

 

Not that it will have any effect at all, but there's a petition to have Catterall named champion.

Big mistake writing Taylor off on one bad night. Judge him on his outstanding record. I’ve seen several sub par Catterall performances, but yes, he had a good one last night and deserved the decision.
With the title being fragmented, Jack, no real consolation, can win a piece of it.
Taylor’s post fight comments on the verdict were similar to the vast majority of boxers regarding disputable decisions.
Richie Woodall is the only “lucky” winner, that springs to mind, that admitted that Glen Catley should have got the decision.

 

Ray Leonard would later admit he was lucky to get a draw against Hearns in their second.

 

A lot later, not at ringside like Richie.

 

I think that was at some reunion, years later when Ray was trying to bury the hatchet, from my memory.
Hearts should have got the nod then.

 

Wasn’t it ESPN’s best boxing rivalries or something like that?

 

This has been happening for years and nothing ever changes. Why don’t they experiment with something different. The most obvious thing to me is that 3 judges is too few, it only takes 2 corrupt or stupid individuals and it throws off the whole result. Why not have 5, or for a big fight why not a whole jury’s worth. If you have more people watching and independently scoring the fight, surely it’s harder to influence the result?
Also proper accountability for wild scoring needs to be in place. There should be a black list for repeat offenders who are never allowed to go near a fight again.

 

The board does nothing to improve the situation. Ian Lewis is often involved. Can remember in ancient history, when a channel called BBC1 covered boxing. Lewis let fights go on too long, I recall an Enzo Macrinelli fight, as well as “eccentric” scorecards.
Over the past year, Bradley Skeete has retired after being blatantly fouled, without a proper resolution. Barrett and Hatton’s “wins,” over Kiko etc, there’s more, but it’s a side hobby keeping track.
No doubt, they’ll have Robert Smith on Steve Bunce’s podcast, and he’ll say exactly the same things, he always does, and so it goes on!

 

Yes, I think it was that series. Leonard had a few disgruntled opponents. They missed doing one with Donny Lalonde though.
No doubt a similar series would bulge at the seams, with material involving Saul Alvarez.

 

Hahaha not a bad idea but we'd be waiting til the following morning to get the result.

 

bbboc need boycotting
and reminding of the reason boxing as been dropped from the Olympics
all fighters should withdraw and fight on foreign sanctioned bouts
freeze them out let them fall into bankruptcy
its the only way to teach theses twats a lesson
the police should investigate the bbboc offices
anything found unto smoth should be held culpable and in turn should be free to be sued by any fighter whos earning have been affected by this man

Boxing is being dropped from the Olympics because dishing out medals to working class people gives the organisers the boak. Weightlifting, likewise.

The excuse is because of doping concerns even though those concerns affect practically every sport.
