    Well said. Honestly I don't know how boxing fixes poor judging. Maybe they ought to have a jugde score from the press box so they can observe the action from the television perspective. I personally just would like to see a 13th round implimented to hopefully resolve closely judged fights; and to get 1 more round of entertainment. :yep

    Everytime her score differs from her dad's, Lederman can't shut up about it for months. I can't think of a time off-hand where her scoring didn't pass the smell test, though. Did you have a bout or two in mind?

    Tom Kaczmarek's always impressed me as a judge. He seems to travel a lot to balance out hometown judges in big fights, too.

    No. Only the euro hating fans had hops winning. Anyone who knows boxing had Joe winning that fight. Even teddy atlas said Joe won hands down. And he's notoriously bias for northeast american fighters. Get over it man, hops lost to that white boy!

    I'm still clueless on how CalZ managed to get a W over Hopkins in America.

    It was a great fight and I am not surprised by the decision. Rocky started well and ended great... John controlled the middle rounds. Close rounds... sometimes that happens. I definitely felt that JMM beat Chris John though.

    Thaxton didn't get a home town decision in Norwich a few days ago against some random french man.. I scored it a draw.. commentators had Thaxton winning by a few points. French man won a UD.

    Don't forget Bradley coming over to the u.k and taking Witters belt which was a close fight. Theres examples both ways.
     
  8. You meant "was throwing inaccurate but many punches" right?

    Do you think the alien fraud Valuev would even have a career if it wasn't for fighting in places handpicked with the judges?
