I had the fight the same as Harold Lederman, 8 rounds to 4 Golovkin and that was being generous! I spoke with Bob Bennett today on the phone. He said that Byrd had never had a bad card for three and a half years, I told him she had had bad cards for "many" years! He pretty much told me the same thing he told the reporter at the conference after the fight. He was a lot nicer on the phone than he was on the air.................he said that fans do not know how to score a fight! Harold Lederman has been scoring fights for many years, he knows how to score a fight, he had it 8 rounds to 4 Golovkin..................I asked him if we should have x-fighters scoring fights, he said that they were not interested in doing that...........Bob Bennett said that Horn beat Pac and that Atlas was wrong, however, the huge majority of fans had Pac winning that fight................he was well aware of the fans being upset at Byrd's score, said that she just had a bad night...........................I asked if she was going to be retrained, but he said she was the best judge in boxing today, only had one bad decision in her life.................he was wrong on that! I also asked Bob Bennett if Mark Ratner was still around, he said that Ratner was doing UFC. I told him that boxing was losing fans after bad decisions like the Golovkin/Alvarez fight, that fans were angry after paying huge amounts of money to watch a fight PPV or live at ringside, that this was destroying boxing. He did say that if she had been bribed that she would have made her score much closer, probably so, but if she was not corrupt then she really needs to buy some glasses and be retrained.........................Bob Bennett does not usually answer the phone, but he did today.....................for some who do not know who Bob Bennett is, he is the Nevada state boxing commissioner...................What can I say? We need more complaints.................702-486-2575 watch the replay of "The Fight Game" with Jim Lampley, then make your voice heard................he is aware of the complaints..............
I also talked to him, just hours after your conversation he said that 'wanted : dead only!' bounties have been issued for both andre ward and Floyd Mayweather, but he failed to elaborate on what had caused this shock decision
A lot of boxer's careers are ruined by bad judging and in Kovalev's case both, bad judges and bad referee! Boxing has rules, but only has to be followed by one of the two boxers, at least in the Kovalev/SOB fight. What more proof does anyone need? This content is protected I should have asked Bob Bennett about SOB's low blows as they are so damned obvious!
You do this for real? He seemed like a damn angry man in the post fight presser having to respond to very similar questions. Fair play though unlike the rest of us just pissing and moaning on forums but ready and waiting to pay for the next one.
I was about to say you forgot to link that video I'll never watch and mention Andre Ward, but luckily I read the whole thread before posting
I'm sure Bob Bennett valued the opinions of little ol' Farmboxer very, very much. Probably even changed his mind completely... I would have loved to have heard the kiss-ass nature of Farmboxer talking on the phone. Cause if he went on the call trolling and whining like he does on here, I'm sure Mr. Bennett would have thought "prank from a dude who lost money on a bad bet" and hung up.
