Should boxing be investigated?

It should be banned before Tyson Fury does some serious harm & a demolition job to a cruiserweight

 

This.

End thread.

 

Of course it should be investigated the corruption is blatant. It makes no sense that its not investigated, well from what I'm aware of.

Stuff like the Canelo-Kovalev sparring session and the constant dodgy scorecards many boxers receive should all be investigated. And it's an absolute utter disgrace it is not... Because no one gives a **** about anything but money....

This is essentially fraud, and should be treated no differently and especially as it is done so on a maasive scale

 

Stop crying "dodgy scorecards" everytime the outcome of a fight doesn't go your way it just makes you sound like a whiny sore-loser.

 

You're one of those idiots that support this blatant corruption by that ridiculous attitude. Do us all actual boxing fans a favour and get the fook outta here

 

Honestly, I think the authorities view boxing like WWE, but with better Kayfabe.

Heck, some of my friends who don't watch boxing assume it's scripted, and really don't understand why I bother with it.

You can bet on WWE, so why not boxing.

 

Man-up and stop crying everytime the scorecards don't match yours, it's all i'm saying.

 

It's not mafia corruption anymore, it's regular business corruption. The promotion companies, the sanctioning bodies, and the government regulators all need to be not just investigated but regulated. A system like compubox ought to be mandatory for all fights to ensure a more objective standard of measuring outcomes. Then a database of judges needs to be established to track how accurate their cards are against either the publics or their fellow judges cards. Third, we ought to have a rule that if you fight in the US and want to be a legally recognized athletic sanctioning body that you need to rank all of the fighters in the division. No more delisting your rivals champions. Last, the promoter is not allowed to give gifts to either the judges or the regulators officiating the contest. This includes buying them meals or throwing parties.

 

I like all of this except the compubox idea. (Compubox doesn’t account for hurt fighters and can’t distinguish things like a jab or hook that knocks an opponent’s head back vs a regular jab/hook)

 

There is'nt anything to recover from, boxing has always been corrupt and always will be.

Btw, when you say certain fighters allowed to test positive for Clenbuterol, who was allowed to get away with testing positive?
If you're referring to Canelo, he was suspended and then before getting reinstated was made to submit to a hair follicle test that Victor Conte himself stated would show how long Canelo has been exposed and taking Clenbuterol.
Canelo passed that test as it did'nt show a history of long term use, yet people like yourself talk about it like he's been taking PED's like Lance Armstrong and getting away with it.

 

Floyd & now Canelo have been allowed to get away with no punishments. The 6 months suspension for Clenbuterol just happened to coincide with the knee surgery Canelo required
How convenient !!!!!?????? Don't mention Floyd & the IVgate scandal among many others. The Commissions must think all boxing fans are idiots or extremely naïve, but who can blame them you guys STILL pay out big $$$$$$$ to watch their circus acts & still idolize the cheating fighters they protect

 

It should be torn down to its very roots and rebuilt with a single governing body which every fight, promoter, fighter and management company must go through. With people at the top of it who have no bias, no conflict of interest, just a duty to the sport and all-round fairness.
Like the PGA of golf, like the FIFA of football.

But then I'm a 147 pounder and should be heavyweight champion of the world.

Such is life

 

It’s no more corrupt than other sport that requires a human to grade a performance based on certain criteria. Gymnastic comes to mind. Extremely hard to prove what the judge score isn’t what they saw.

This does lead to bias scoring and home cooking.
