    All as bad as each other

    Everyone protects their vested interests and they keep doing it as no body regulates the sport, well not independently

    Contentious decisions aren't bad, it's just Boxing. Boxing has always had decisions that people disagreed with, it's just nowaday people have become more obsessed over it.

    Neither was a "robbery"
    The Diaz fight was a fair draw.

    Barrett imo opinion beat Martinez, its just that the scorecards were ridiculous.

    If Barrett had won 115-113 x3, no one would have batted an eyelid

    Generally I associate USA more with bad judges, UK with shocking referees

    Although most judges and refs are fine

    as a canadian and seen canadians fight in both canada and the UK
    i'd say the USA judges are much harder on canadians. Ive seen a couple fights that I scored 118-110 and 120-108 only for it to be the other way. friday night fight days had awful judging.

    but UK judging has been awful at times too.

    There was no robbery in the Diaz fight it was close i gave jojo 129101112 and scored it draw. A close fight doesn't equal robbery because the fighter you liked more didn't get the decision

    Funny though isnt it Its never Canelo losing a close fight is it?? Just like Floyd never "lost" a decision in Vegas. You know how corrupt that place is was when a forum member asked Bob Bennett what he was going to do about Adelaide Byrd's ludicrous 118-110 card? He laughed & said " Adelaide is one of my best judges she just had a bad night" That says it all

    But why then, if your thoughts are correct, have neither Floyd or Canelo have ever lost a close fight?? Never lost one they clearly lost either ??
    Maybe if it wasnt so blatantly obvious it might not be so bad GGG & Pac were blatantly robbed in Vegas. Anyone that doesnt see the corruption really DKSAB or dont care as long as their fighter "wins"
