    this dude said CJ ROss got fired because of the "audacity to vote against a Floyd win"...ya let's totally disregard the fact that her score was TERRIBLE and Floyd won 10-2/9-3.

    When it comes Judging in Vegas never underestimate the long lasting effect of Duane Ford that man's stupidity will be felt in boxing for the next few decades because of the idiots he trained.

    From the guy who says that he voted Floyd UD, to put pressure on him, so that he will lose.
    Sound reasoning.

    lol 'Part of my master plan' > 'I'm going to let him out of the cage'.
    By far.
    Beautiful mind minus the IQ.

    I think the event would be too huge for that to happen, but you never know. With the world watching and it being a history making event, the NSAC and the 3 judges would have way too much heat. However, that said, I didn't think about corrupt judging, and I wish McCain's push to clean up boxing went through.

    Now C'mon be fair Bad a decision as it was C.J.Ross's card was no worse than many of the other Vegas judges have turned in over the years but they weren't fired. Do you remember Eugenia Williams totally ludicrous scorecard claiming Holyfield beat Lewis in their first fight?? That woman is STILL judging only she goes under the name Gene Williams these days. If they fired EVERYONE that turned in ludicrous scorecards & blatantly biased refereeing then maybe it would do some good
    All I want to see in every fight is that it is fair and the best man gets the win

    Tony Weekes let them both fight Maidana got away with stuff so did Floyd with his clinching & holding plus his best weapon his foream smash. Tony let the FIGHT!!! Kenny Bayless on the other hand STOPPED Maidana from fighting but still let Floyd get by unhindered. The final straw for me was when he took a point from Maidana for elbows while he'd ignored Floyd doing it all fight long

    Do you think she deserved better? She called a white washing a draw. But it wasn't just CJ Ross' card. Everyone who complained that Maidana and Canelo had the same scores were on to something. Canelo won 1 maybe 2 rounds and Maidana won 3 maybe 4. So all of the scorecards were off in that fight, CJ Ross' was just the most egregious.

    I think you're trolling on Weeks. There were so many fouls in that first Maidana fight it was ridiculous. I'm not gonna blame Maidana, if you get away with rabbit punching and holding and hitting and the knee, and your gameplan is to make a dirty fight, make a dirty fight. But because Weeks isn't enforcing the rules, Floyd starts fouling. That's just poor officiating.

    If weeks takes a point in the first round for the clearly intentional hip shot right in front of Weeks after he told the fighters to stop punching or in the arm twist and rabbit punching in the 3rd, the fight would'nt have been out of hand. Weeks gave 4 or 5 hard warnings but never took a point.

    At that point all you have to do is show the tape to Bayless and of course he's going to overreact. That's not a favor to Mayweather its a not on my watch reaction, and you get two poorly officiated bouts.

    Might as well face it, Vegas belongs to Void, it so appears that if a judges were to score against Void he would be fired. Will the referee come to Void's corner and take his orders between each round? Pay $90 for a crooked fight? I hope the fight is on the level, but I don't see how it could be.....................Mosley said that Void can't lose a decision in Vegas, Marquez said the same. Pac will have to knock Void out to win a split decision...................I don't know if a judge, any judges would have the nerve to score a round against Void.................if Pac beats Void...............there will be a rematch............and the rematch will be much bigger, so that could allow the judges to vote for Pac, but I really doubt it..............
