    Well, i recall judges giving rounds to Abraham while all he was doing was running. DLH kinda lost some points for that against Trinidad right? (on the judges card).

    He didn't win the fight normally. He would have won it normally had he not cheated. It's pretty simple.

    This is all water under the bridge anyway. The issue has been resolved for good. Miranda can go back to ESPN. Onwards and upwards for AA :yep

    I'm not hating on AA,I'm actually a big fan and can't wait till he schools Pavlik Hopkins style,but...he lost that fight.It wasn't fair cuz Neumann did everything he could to give it to Abraham,he didn't ****ing take 2 points from Abraham and took at least 1 excessive from Miranda.It was screwing with the decision

    Thats for sure. I picked Abraham to win in both fight. ONly reason it was close was because of the broken jaw. Still, the first one was very contreversial. Not stopping the fight....5 points deducted....Can we agree on that?

    Whatever your opinion on it, there isn't much point in dragging it up again. This is why we had the rematch, because there were so many doubts surrounding the first fight. Were the deductions fair? Would Abraham have continued to kick his ass had he been injury free?

    That's why we did the thing, and in America too to remove all fear of corruption.

    Well it really would be a miracle if a German got the benefit of corruption in America.

    It removed as much doubt as possible, far more than holding it in Germany or dare I say it Colombia.

    I'm saying there were probably more robberies in the US than in Germany just based on the number of fights.America ain't clean at all,as a matter of fact I think they were gonna robb Arthur in the rematch,they had Miranda up

    This was ok to me - I also had Miranda ahead 29-28 going into the 4th round...

    I think Miranda was up though, don't you think so? They were clearer rounds than some Miranda won in the first.

    Abraham wasn't doing **** until he knocked him out, really. He was just covering up, conserving energy, and letting Miranda waste his. Waiting for the opportunity to land some bombs. He lost at least the first two purely on activity.

    If I remmeber correctly I also had Miranda 2-1 going in the 4th but the judges had him 3-0...all close ones would have gone to him
