Is there any way we as boxing fans can use the clout of this website when **** like last nights **** poor Joel Casamayor vs. Jose Armando Santa Cruz decision pops up on occasion? If we approach it rationally and state a good case and all sign on the doted line I wonder if we can have any impact in the long run. Of course it can only be used on notoriously bad decisions. Last night was ****ed in every sence of the word. The absolute calm in Casamayors corner was strange as ****. I got a bad feeling when they announced the judges most notable Title fights. I forget who was who but One had no notable fights ( how the **** did he land a fight of this magnitude? ) one had Byrd Golata a draw and the other had Ruiz Golata wit Ruiz ahead. Thats when a eerie feeling hit me. As soon as they announced the first 2 as 114/113 My mouth went dry and my heart was pumpin. I still cant believe the scoring on that fight. Casamayor was doin nothing the entire fight. He had some sweet 2 arm grapple/leg humps and thats about it. What are the chances that if we as a boxing community state a case for what happened and get everyone to sign that **** doing any good? Remember, a avalanche starts with one pebble.
SENT Good evening, I am a big boxing fan and enjoyed the Cotto / Mosley fight immensely. Even the undercard was good, but with one glaring exception. Santa Cruz pretty much shut out Casamayor but Casamayor was awarded a unjust decision victory. I go to the Boxing website East Side Boxing alot. There is one person there that I have encountered that wasen`t surprised with the decision, and even he hasen`t come out and said he thought Casa won the fight. Everyone that posts there KNOWS , not thinks Santa Cruz won that fight. The judging in that fight was atrocious, and that was the worst decision I have ever seen in all my years of watching boxing. It is so sad that Santa Cruz Trained and worked his butt off to be robbed like that. Robbery is a strong word that I hesitate to use. Some people use it lightly. However, in this instance, labeling the fight a ROBBERY is more than justified. I, like many of my fellow posters from ESB ( East Side Boxing ) will be sending you a messege to show that we care about our beloved sport and will not sit down and be quiet when we feel someone that puts their ass on the line isn`t getting a fair shake. There are many people that care. Some probably think...whats the use. But not us. Every time we see something like this happen, you will get a messege from the ESB faithful. Feel free to stop in at any time and check out the ESB community. Please look into this matter, it is of the utmost priority that we show the fighters that we appreciate and care for what they do.
