    I posted the following in a diff thread but after 30 views and no responces I decided to create a poll to lure in a few more people to read what I wrote....

    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.

    That score was DISGUSTING and made me sick to my stomach. I don't know how we as fans sit back and let this **** happen especially when we're paying 50 dollars to watch that ****. And it's ****ed up for Santa Cruz too because he wasted all that time training for this fight to get ****ed over when it was obvious he DOMINATED Casamayor. The judges are disgusting and should NEVER work again. Can anyone find out who we can write to about complaining about the judging of that fight?

    Dang, I made a mistake on this poll and voted for Casa. It was obvious to me that Santa Cruz won, and I'm a big Casa fan. Not sure if it was age finally catching up on Joel or the ring rust, but Santa Cruz won that fight in my eyes.

    Those refs were the same ****ing crooks who scored Ruiz over Golota and Golota Byrd a draw. They should be in jail.

    8-4 Santa Cruz with the KD in the 1st round a clear cut win for for Santa Cruz.

    That decision cost Santa Cruz probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 million dollars. Just imagine doing your job better than some other slob at your work, and he gets the promotion over you because he has been there longer. It's disgraceful.

    We as consumers and fans deserve to get what we pay for, we paid to watch a night of good, fair boxing. What we got was far from that. Why have three judges when the outcome is decided in a phone call, why should guys train and fight 12 rounds when they can pay to win.
    Its not about boxing anymore its about bank books :-(

    With any job, you would get a bollocking or even fired if you fail to perform at it. Why is it that judges get away with this rule? They can show complete and utter incompetence at their job yet manage to keep it. They should be fired and made an example of, that way roberies will cut down.
