    with all these stupid ass judges who dont know how to ****ing score a fight, taking dirty money under the table to come up with ridiculous scorecards like 118-110 is there any wonder why most of the youth's are more interested in following MMA, a sport where at least the fighters get a fair shake.

    Boxing is becoming like a stage show, almost like WWE, why do we even need judges, we should have seen this **** coming.

    Like Paulie said all the chips are stacked against him but many many TRUE HARDCORE BOXING FANS who know how to score a fight will know that MALIGNAGGI WON THE FIGHT HANDS DOWN.

    I see boxing pushing away more and more fans the more these type of decisions keep on happening. It will only be a matter of time until you see the shift. MMA is going to take over if boxing cannot get rid of the corruption.

    I for one feel like enough is enough with these stupid scorecards being read out.
    Too much corruption is still in the sport and its killing it slowly

    Totally agree with you and this is my fear. It only ads more insult to the sport.

    There is no decision bad enough to make me wake up one day and rather watch two dudes bearhugging inside of a cage instead of boxing.

    I agree that this type of s**t is not good for the sport. But MMA is not perfect. Its fighters are split up amongst multiple organizations and sometimes matchups people want to see don't get made. They have plenty of boring fights as well.

    Boxing needs to go back to free TV' or at least have more big fights on basic cable in order to increase the popularity of its fighters beyond hardcore fans. By sticking all of the big fights on PPV or premium channels the sport is really missing out on getting more peoiple excited and into the sport.

    MMA is becoming popular ( at least in the US) because it appeals mainly white people. Boxing is heavily populated by blacks, and Latinos. Even though there are plenty of good caucasian fighters, most of them are from Europe and therefore don't get the love from the US.

    With all that said im still diehard boxing fan and will always be. I respect MMA, but in my opinion it just doesnt compare to the sweet science.

    No its not. What is annoying is all the fickle fans who listen to all the hype and spin and repeat it as fact. Bad decisions happen in the fight game. Thats part of the business.
