Well, yeah but even Ottke is judged unfairly. He had one clear robbery, Reid, which really was very, very bad and a disgrace. But most of the fights people nowadays they were robberys are nothing but close fights. I never liked him and I hate him these days for what he did to German boxing but you´ve got to be fair.
If this fight was a planned robbery with bribed judges, how did one judge have Roman up by six rounds? Truth is, it was a close fight with neither fighter being convincing. Roman landed very little effective punches. His face was a mess and Sylvester looked clean afterwards. I had Roman up by one round, but a draw is not a robbery in a close fight. Robbery is something like Lewis - Holyfield.
Ottke is a poster boy for unfair judging. But it does happen almost anywhere - just that no other fighters have had that many losses or draws relentlessly and consistently converted to wins.
Even the boxers know they go to Germany to lose. Str8 fromt he horses mouth. I believe it too., i watched plenty of German fights. If AA fought Dirrell in German, Dirrell would have been dqed for belt line hits.
Sauerland is Sauerland, not Germany. A lot of german fans doesn't want the fights to end like this (and they often supported the foreign boxers after such smelly decisions).
