    Why didnt Clenelo get Ls against Golovkin in both fights? Boxing is rotten to the core and full of inept idiots. Go ahead and call me a tinfoil hat wearer again. I'll be sure to return the favor the next time you who whine about corruption/ineptitude in the sport. :lol:

    No, I'm not part of the ****ing problem. I score fights on who beats the other guy up more and lands the most punches, and that was Horn. I'm not a ref, so therefore I can't DQ a fighter and dock him points.

    suppose he did and in any case when was the last time a ref actually did anything about someone purposefully making things dirty?
    There is also the home advantage thing,how many rounds it amounts I couldn't say but in a close fight it does have a bearing.

    I scored it a draw. People mistook Marquez' passivity and counterpoint style for weakness and age. He gave away the early rounds with inactivity but the whole back half was Marquez' since he changed gears and started walking forward. Also, Marquez ships the heavier artillery while Bradley can't crack an egg. All the meaningful punches in that fight were Marquez punches.

    DQ'ing Salido for bashing Loma's balls all night should be high up on the overturn list then.

    Yeah, because Horn is a beloved cash cow taking on a hated fighter right? If anyone should have been the recipient of a gift, it should have been Pacquiao.

    I won't call you a tin foil hat wearer, but I will call you a hater, who clearly has intense personal animosity towards someone I can't even fathom why you'd have a reason to dislike.

    100% Agree. That fight wasn't even remotely close. But don't mind Ovid, he loses all objectivity when it comes to fighters he loves, and by default, people who beat fighters he loves.

    One of the problems imo is the reluctance to score even rounds,there are rounds that are totally even but for some reason folk want to look for something that isn't there?

    Yeah we haven't seen local corruption in the sport at all levels especially in a desperate market like the Aussie one.

    Its pretty clear why Horn gets hate. He's a low skilled operator who cheated his way to a belt. Fact. We can see now that he wasn't as good as you and some others thought.

    Bob was definitely happy because he got throw an easy belt around the waist of one of his younger fighters without having to match him up against his aging golden boy. I tried telling you this before the Crawford fight that Horn was a total bum and was being served on a platter to Crawford. But you had somehow convinced yourself that he had a fighting chance and backed him to win. I'll give you one thing though. We were BOTH wrong. You thought Horn was a world class operator and I thought he was above losing to someone like Zerefa. We can't always be right man!

    He based that remark on my scoring Pac Horn for Pac and Gonzalez Rungvisai for Gonzalez. I leave it up to the rest of you to decide which of us is the better scorer.
