    Byrd is always biased for sure and so is Moretti, Bayless will not allow the fighters to fight, he interferes way too much, he wants to be the star.......................Sanchez should have never approved of them.....................Golovkin will be cheated...................Byrd hates Eastern European fighters to the extreme and we can't count on Moretti, so they have two out of three judges and the referee, not sure about the 3rd judges, anyone know him?

    What kind of garbage is that? There is a difference between an excuse and a historically proven concern. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me 20 times and I'm an idiot. These officials have a history of bad decisions. Fact. And that's a concern to anyone who wants a good and fair fight regardless of which guy you favor. Anyone happy with these picks will also be the same people happy if GGG gets robbed and are not boxing fans. Real canelo boxing fans would want him to win clean and decisively.

    Fool me 100 times and the adjective "blithering" to modify "ïdiot" can be justifiably employed. :risas3:

    What really irks me about this whole phenomenon is the inconsistency of policy and selective blindness that is involved. One moment such fans are happily accepting the suggested hypothetical situation and the next they are criticizing it when their favored boxer is at the receiving end of the injustice.

    As the saying goes:

    "It all depends on whose ox is getting gored!"

    The problem is if the fight is close and could have gone either way and it goes to Canelo GGG fans will cry robbery and blame the judges the ref and everyone else.

    Must be a lot of fun for refs who have a personal ax to grind against certain ethnic and racial groups.

    What they do in the ring are facts which might provide a basis for a highly probable justified conclusion. People get fired from jobs all the time based on opinions about how they behave. Being immune from losing their job only serves to add more fuel to the fire.

    There are four brown envelopes waiting for them if it goes to points.

    Yeah, I don't trust Moretti.

    Bayless' comments were made a long time ago, long before Canelo - GGG was made. Bayless' said he would like to ref GGG one day.

    Usually when there is a true robbery vs. a competitive fight, it's a pretty clear consensus to everyone watching. When polls and ringside observers all see a fight differently from the offical judges by a large percentage, its usually a good bet the fix was in. Anyone watching boxing for a number of years has seen true robberies. I'm sure you can name a few. And all the proof of corruption you ever need is that those same judges keep getting invited back to judge big fights time and time again. It's disgusting and probably the worst aspect of this sport.
