Cunningham-Ross and Sylvester-Karmazin RBR

Thanks for clearing that up :good

 

M8, that's exactly what I said... boxing allows too much space for refs and judges to influence the final score. I know only of handball where similar robberies occur at a world level.

 

From IBF site ( http://www.ibf-usba-boxing.com/userfiles/File/IBF-USBA Bout Rules.pdf ):

3. There will be a non-scoring referee and three judges who shall score the contest and
determine the winner through the use of the ten points must system. In this system the
winner of each round receives ten points and the opponent a proportionately less number.
When the round is even, each boxer will receive ten points.

And why were the people from Sauerland allowed to check the scorecards, but not the guy from the Karmazin-cam?

 

Impossible. Germans get around too much. Everybody's at least .00001% German. Also Irish, Italian and Spanish. These people just go everywhere and screw, that's a scientific fact.

 

Did you watch the fight? I watched it and I honestly wouldn't know how to give this fight to Sylvester. I might manage a draw if I tried my very best.

(Also, the fightnews piece was written by one Karl Freitag, he might be rather more than 0% german.)

 

And over in Turkey you had another robbery. I wonder what tonight at Yankee Stadium will throw up for us?

 

I'd just found the same thing. Maybe we should have 3 monkeys judge the fight by throwing feces at a dartboard, that would definitely be an improvement on the current system. Would be more entertaining too.

 

I stopped following it years ago... out of frustration! The refs were killing every big game... just incredible...

I guess not a big sport in the states... but take NBA for example!? It usually a high standard and the refs get judged as well. The best get the most important fights... but then again, we have only one NBA and several sanctioning bodies in Boxing.

 

fkn ****s , Roman's last chance , he did enough to win the belt . I wonder if they got the balls to fight Pirog , no robbery in this one when Sylvester gets knocked out or stopped on cuts .

 

True... missed that one... apparently the official ARD commentator had Karamazin a point ahead going into the 12th.

Away from home, bad wireless connection, so no boxing for me .. just rbr by several different sources...who also saw it differently.

 

**** it. Get rid of judges and implement "You fight until one of you stays down"
