http://normaneinsteins.com/20/counterpunch/ on the heels of the chisora-scott controversy, here's a little history lesson about the first fight between tom cribb and tom molineaux. this was over 200 years ago. the brits don't like it when their fighters don't win. you can ask marvin hagler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t-nZkO7ypA
it shouldn't be about nationalities. rivalries are good, but when posters lose objectivity and blatantly pull off their countrymen (bailey) then it cheapens that
somebody has pissed Kmac off. come on, who was it? LOL you should check out all the robberies that Brit fighters have had to deal with over time in the States. it's shocking. not forgetting other Nationalities. it seems to be a given that you'll be ripped off about 2 times before they give you a fair chance. and even then it's still heavily biased with refs and ****. don't forget that your country was the one involved in the Martinez/Cintron fight. he knocked him out... that wasn't good enough. he won clearly on points... that still wasn't good enough. disgustingly ripped off twice in the same fight. in America, you need a KO to get a draw. Fact! don't let the door hit you in the face on the way out.
and yes, that reaction to the Hagler win was hideous. i'm glad that he took care of business after Minter claimed he wouldn't lose his title to a Black man. he got what he deserved. but don't act like that sort of **** didn't happen in America, because it did. on a much grander scale and time as well.
What controversy? Scott waited until 9 and a half before he started to get up, he should have enough experience as a pro to know better than that.
Scott lost............... However, home town decisions make me want to puke! I just hope Kovalez/Cleverly is a fair fight. After watching boxing for so many years, I doubt if Kovalev can get a fair decision in Cleverly's home town, so he has to knock Cleverly out. All Cleverly has to do is be standing at the end of the fight. I've just seen way too many home town decisions..............
