Read this article on Eastern Europeans with fake records https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxi...hts-with-uk-champs-a-georgian-insider-claims/ and then read this on the Scene http://www.*******.com/british-board-tackling-issue-foreign-fighters-falsifying-records--114032 ...Robert Smith doesn't seem to understand that the national governing bodies are the problem and are neck deep in this, not just the matchmakers. Sounds really easy to fake people's stats, pretty disappointing Smith is just dismissing this. It's pretty shocking.
Haha, wow. Not all too shocking, honestly. Makes sense. Not something you think too often about, though.
Suspect Hungarians do something similar, seen guys with winning records from there who are totally garbage...
Hahahaha. Check out the fake record: http://boxrec.com/boxer/455379 Look at the names of the guys he has fought. Did Whyte's and Chisora's guys really give this a pass? Or did they just not give a ****? Christ. They're not even trying...
I always thought that all Georgian ' professional' boxers just received a license after a bar fight. There are very much Georgian boxers, but seems to be zero talent. These fictional fight and I even think fictional fighters explain a lot.
As long as Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and all of his opponents don't get accused, I can sleep easy at night.
Boxrec isn't professional so this doesn't surprise me. I was thinking making a thread about the top 5 countries with the most suspect records. Basically opponent factories. Argentina has to be up there.
It's not like they didn't already knew that for decades. The teak-tough Ghanaians, Latvians, Georgians etc always seem to have lost said toughness the moment they step in the ring with a legit opponent. Brazil is even an boxing insider joke, with guys with 41-0 records that fall over their first legit opponent exhales a bit too hard.
