Well they are nothing different than the WBC, IBF, etc, etc, as far as I know. All boxing ''organisations'' who's goals are to make profit. So in the end they are all companies, right?
:bart I saw the vid you posted but Tolppola didn't dominated at all. He might've won a lot of rounds but sorry, Floyd vs Gatti, that is domination! Branco was still constantly in the fight and punching back, landing shots of his own. The stoppage of course was unbelievable and a huge disgrace.
What, did he find that moustache in a Christmas ******* or something? EDIT - man, gotta love the autoedits here Crack-er.
And you Europeans wonder WHY American fighters are reluctant to go overseas. :-( Also add that Germany promoter who rang the bell early because his fighter was getting beat up in the Williams fight. Or Hatton's pet dog, err, ref who pretty much did what Hatton wanted him to do against Luzcano. Or the Lute/Andrade ref. Admit it, the U.S. has the most leglized and professional standards for boxing rules and regulations. Over here, you can't have people blatantly doing something wrong without something being done about it.
Looks like he had the beginnings of a Hematoma developing. Iv seen far worse Hematoma`s on Vargas and Rahman. But thats Italian boxing for you.
Remember the rubbish they pulled when Danny Williams fought there? There far worse than the Germans. I cant remember the last live body that ever came out that wretched country. As a boxing nation there garbage.
Don't you guys think Pavlik should defend against Sturm in Germany? He would get a fair shake would he not?
