It's a pretty sick sport in which mobsters like Don King flourish

    ...while walking tributes to the beauty of the game like Librado Andrade get ****ed over.

    Don't get me wrong -- no matter who you are out of the ring, once you're in there, all that should count is your performance. It shouldn't happen to anybody at all.

    But especially not Librado Andrade.

    I hear you, Boxing needs transparency in judging and accountability for refs and judges. The ref last night should never ref another fight for the rest of his life and he should also be fined, to discourage such actions.

    Money makes the world go round. No matter what it is. Peoples greed are bigger for money and riches than anything else.

    What a fighter has to do from now on is win by KO or TKO. You can never leave your victories in the hands of the judges or the ref. This is the future in boxing for the great fighter that is not as marketable.

    Looking at last night, KO and TKO arent enough either.
