OK, so you say that the corruption goes on and on, and on and on..... Are you saying, just continue along these same parameters, or should we pull it up and deal with it...?
I say its got to be dealt with. When promotional teams become bigger than state or national bodies, it's time to snip things back. The ANBF needs a government input. The ANBF need to oversee every state action.
Ive been trying to dig up some footage today and stumbled into something quite bizar, i did not realise that it only takes ONE corrupt judge on a panel of three to rob a fighter blind. I thought that the reason they have three judges is to keep them all honest, ie if two judges are scoring it correct but one judge is corrupt and isnt scoring it right then the two judges scoring it for the other guy to win should outweight one judges corruption but it doesnt, your prob thinking WTF is he talking about lol, give me 20 min and ill show u
one Judge scores the fight 39-38 for fighter A, the second judge scores it the same, the third Judge scores it 40-35 for fighter B, giving fighter B the Victory?
Agree. I think that had this been the first time that Mundine turned away and bent down to his right, one could conclude that the headbutt affected him and led to the knockout. But since he was doing it regularly it's a bit hard to determine the effect of the butt. Gives him a decent excuse if he wants one though.
really.........who cares,mundine & green excited aussie fight fans with promise of good things to come, now both of them r bringing the sport down in the chase 4 the almighty dollar,sad,cause there are some promising newcomers who are climbing the ladder the right way & are not getting the recognition they deserve
I think the Queensberry rules have always had competitors who stepped over the line (eg. Hall of Famers like Dempsey, Greb, Zivic, Saddler) so today's era isn't much worse than those gone by. An elite level dirty fighter is very difficult to deal with. Wood is far from that and I'm surprised that experienced fighters like Oganov and Choc (despite their shortcomings) couldn't handle him with ease.
It wouldnt of been the headbutt, its not uncommon for fighters that try use the shoulder roll defence - to turn their back or duck their head, Mayweather does it often, the only difference is Mayweather owns the shoulder roll and when you duck your head down to the right, it leaves you vulnerable to a left uppercut. While Mundine uses the shoulder roll, he hasnt perfected it or even realised that its more effective using it on the inside - than outside. He didnt use his left shoulder to block and his right glove was too busy trying to block both lefts and rights while he practically had his eyes closed, too much pressure caused him to turn him back IMO, whilst ducking his head caused him to get KTFO.
Here is the fight im talking about [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzb8HSCEcg8[/ame] Fighter B (Mohamad Elomar) got the decision and it was a 4 rounder your correct, i am still scratching my head trying to figure it out and the only conclusion i come to was that all points are tallyed and the fighter with the most points wins, if thats the case then this clip proves that one judge can corrupt an entire decision. Whats even more odd is the scores on boxrec are not the same as the scores that were read out, in particular one judge on boxrec had it a draw but that wasnt announced on the night.
Referee: Charlie Lucas | judge: Bernie McMahon 40-35 | judge: Craig Waller 39-38 | judge: Don Marks 38-38 Gerongco deducted 1 point in final round That's a majority decision...
