5:10 round... WTF

Canada is slowly inching its way to becoming a laughing stock in the boxing circle...

 

In Canada, boxing is plighted by an incredibly incompetent IBF timekeeper (see Bute vs. Andrade and Urango vs. Ngoudjo) - one man - , whom the IBF should get rid off immediately. However, in Canada, unlike in the USA, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., the local favourite isn't gifted wins by corrupt judges and referees on a regular basis (see the Malignaggi vs. Ngoudjo decision (USA) or the Malignaggi vs. N'dou II decision (Britain)).

In other words, you don't have a point.

In Canada, the refereeing and judging is fairer than in the USA, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., and a travelling fighter has a much smaller chance of getting robbed (see Urango vs. Ngoudjo, for example).

I cannot think of one high-profile instance in which a travelling fighter was robbed blind in Canada, although I can think of plenty of high-profile instances where a travelling fighter was robbed blind in the USA, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc.

What is more, Canada has a reputation for home judges who are always harsher on the local favourite than the judge from the travelling fighter's back-yard or the judge from the neutral location (see the scores given by the Canadian judge for Bute fights, for example).

In other words, you talk of things you know nothing about.

 

True! :good

 

He has built legs too, think hes a roider

 

Sorry for you, Bute fights on March the 13th, Bradley-Holt on April the 4th, the same day Andrade and Tsypko for a title shot. If I understand you well, no more title fights in California because the officials were unable to notice Margarito was cheating. No more title fights in Las Vegas because I remember some fights with a bad scoring. No more title fights in Germany... I let you choose the reason.

So, where do you come from?

 

Thanks for saving me time with your excellent posts. Are the timekeepers hired locally or are they appointed by the IBF, in this case?

 

lol....maybe they thought it was MMA rules?

 

All timekeepers are sanctioned by the sanctioning body in question and the local boxing commission, just like the referees and judges. However, just like referees, timekeepers tend to be local. It seems the timekeeper in question is a local timekeeper who keeps time in IBF sanctioned fights. Who appointed him? The local boxing commission and the IBF. Of course, the promoters and fighters could ask for a different timekeeper to be appointed, if they felt like it, just like they can ask for a different referee and judges, since they pay for their services. If the IBF don't dismiss this timekeeper and/or the local boxing commission don't withdraw his licence (which they should), the promoters involved in IBF sanctioned fights in the Montreal area should certainly ask for this timekeeper to be replaced in future.

 

Last 2 big fight = farce.

Common 5min rounds Marlin Wright still getting big fights. bad calls happen everywhere but only in Germany and Canada can such farces carry on.

120-106 common!

 

Sloppy and unacceptable.Hardly a professional performance for the Quebec Commission,AGAIN!:dead

 

No excuse for that I've never seen anything like that before.

 

Shows you Canada can put on a good event but not a good boxing match. They need to work on their fundamentals.

 

I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching that. Totally incompetent

 

You're mixing things here. The judge who gave 120-106 was an American one from Las Vegas, Nevada. I don't think it's in Canada, is it? He was way out. If you want to criticize the judges job, we'll have a long thread, and not specifically a Canadian one. The timekeeper should not work again in title fights, unless something explains his error. An electronic problem, or something. Even then, I cannot believe they have only one timing clock. If it's the same who didn't ring the bell in the Bute-Andrade fight, he definitely shouldn't work again on title fights. That leads me to the Marlon Wright part of your post. See, as soon as Bute got up, the timekeeper should have rang the bell. Everything Wright did after that was strickly by the rules. Every poster that has taken the time to look at the rules admit that. I guess you didn't. Wright is appointed by the IBF, who looked at Wright's work with professionnal eyes, not irrational fans eyes. So what's your point again?

 

Teddy atlas scoring was very questionable also i thought urango ran away with it.
