should be banned from boxing permanently. Their scoring in that fight, yes even the guy who had Santa Cruz winning, was abhorent. Eastside should start a wall of shame for people who disgrace the sport like these three clowns did. Frank Lombardi, Ron McNair, Tony Paolillo are a total DISGRACE TO OUR SPORT.
I completely agree, when they announced Casamayor the winner me and my buddy stared at eachother dumbfounded. They should be suspended
Well at least one of them gave it to Cruz, his score might have been bad but he had the right guy winning at least. The other two- pathetic.
I've read that the WBC has ordered a rematch between Casamayor and Santa Cruz. Maybe this time we'll get a better decision. And if Casamayor wins again, I'd pick both Diaz's over him as well as Katsidis.
I am a relatively new fan to the sport (started watching just this past summer) and had a few friends who aren't fans come over to watch this PPV. As soon as this decision came out they all started laughing and making jokes about how stupid a sport boxing is and how corrupt it is and what not. Boxing had a chance to make some new "college age" fans that night and that fight blew it.
pdl- penalosa hopkins-forbes casa-santa cruz what do they all have in common besides being horrible decisions. and some of you think that gbp is actually good for the game we love.
Not really. There are bad decisions and then there are horrible plain out robberies. Last I checked I think 98% of people had Casa losing this one. It's not that often that you see a decision this bad.
Yea that's the kind of stuff I hate to hear. I had a friend that doesn't ever watch boxing watch it with me and I don't think he's too enthusiastic about boxing anymore after seeing that decision. :verysad
