    He alread did :yep !

    Your plain bias (not just you but many of the American posters on ESB) against point verdicts in Germany sucks big time!

    1 example: Just because Ottke earned 2 gifts, every fight that's close is a robbery in your eyes...

    You should open them and actually watch them yourself instead just reading the decision and cry robbery.

    How come I am able to struggle watching all big fights worldwide and give my opinion afterwards and you lazy clowns not even seeing a fight and basing your opinion on something written about it?

    You just can't cry out about a fight held in Germany because there were some fishy decisions (the US or any other country also has its fair share of those so called robberies) in the past.

    Also alot of fighters from overseas actually won vs. the homie in Germany, like Harris, Rivera, Cunningham, Ibragimov...

    So before going all out whining about a decision you should first watch the fight.

    There are bum decisions everywhere. And this is far from an "American poster" issue here. Plenty of non-American posters point to biased American judging...but this is a boxing issue as a whole, not an isolated nationalistic issue.

    I have seen horrible decisions in France, Germany, US, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Japan, etc. Im sure if we discovered men on mars and there were some fighters, thered be some crap decisions there as well. Corruption exists anywhere where money exists. The quicker people realize this, the quicker we can get past this nationalistic bull**** and start talking boxing.

    Asolutely (Hopefully Lewis won't sue me for that :D )!

    But if you look over the threads on ESB alot of people blame Germany to the max instead of taking a look around th world scene.

    But my problem just isn't Germany but just every fight that's not held in the states (involving a US based boxer) and therefore cannot be seen live on TV (though the clever ones receive them via internet). You will see alot of guys crying robbery just after those kinda fights without actually watching them...

    I promise: we're only going to run big fights!:deal

    You might feel frustrated we don't run all the fights you would wish to pick for (kirk and especially lbarrow do a great job for those who want to pick broadly), but you shouldn't have any reason to say: "why the hell are we running this fight this week; never heard of these guys, nor should I have!":deal
