I like the idiots who suggest Crawford should fight Charlo for pointing out the corrupt judging of the fight. Props to Bud for having the guts to speak out. This is killing the sport. Disgraceful corrupt judges, especially the one who had it in favor of Charlo. Last nights fight demonstrated once again why Al Hayman is a cancer of the sport. Anyone who doubts it should rewatch the fight. Hayman isn’t just normal cancer, he’s terminal ball cancer. Boxing is in serious need of chemotherapy and eliminating Hayman for life would be a great start. Ban him from the sport and eliminate some of the alphabet soup sanctioning bodies while they are at it.
Can’t say I’m shocked…I don’t know why some of y’all even watch boxing anymore. Every close fight is a robbery, fixed, etc etc. it was a close fight, ruled a draw, they’ll fight again and decide what’s what. Neither guy clearly won the fight, I’d prefer to see more draws more 10-10 rounds, I mean if you don’t want the judges to decide then clearly beat your opponent. I didn’t think either guy clearly beat the other. Obviously the judges didn’t either.
One judge had BC by a point, one a draw, the other had Charlo ahead (which I disagree with). Charlo swept the last three rounds and earned a draw. He was losing the first half of the fight, dug a hole, But pretty clearly won the last 3 rounds.
A draw is still a good result for Castaño with many people thinking he won. In fairness I didn't really score it too closely when I watched it live. I did think Castaño was winning heading into the late rounds but it was far from one-sided. And you know I'm not one of these people who always screams robbery every time there's a decision. There's nothng wrong with that CST, doesn't mean you have to agree with the decision but at least try to understand it and have a rational debate about it. After going back and re-watching rounds 4-6, it appeared to me that Charlo won rounds 5 and 6. Those combined with rounds 2 + 10, 11 and 12 gets him a draw. I don't see how that is even remotely controversial. I challenge you to go back and re-watch rounds 5 and 6. Now you might give Castaño the 6th with those flurries in the final 30 seconds of the round but it was definitely a close round. And I know you're big on not counting punches hitting gloves. Well in that late flurry most of those flashy wild shots from Castaño were in fact blocked or partly blocked, especially that last flurry with about 10 seconds left. So if you're a man of your word take a look at those rounds, and tell me if you think it's unreasonable to give those rounds to Charlo. If it's not, then there's nothing wrong with scoring it a draw.
The only thing close in this fight was the payoff and the judges at ringside pocket!!! No way that was a draw
Give some credit to Charlo for having an effective jab, hurting Castaño on two occasions, and pulling out the late rounds when he needed them. Boxing matches aren't rigged like you think they are. Fighters don't just get results for showing up. Charlo fought a hell of a fight, so did Castaño. Castaño had plenty of success but Jermell blocked a lot of his shots. There were definitely six rounds that you could legitimately give to Charlo.
Easy its because in this day & age in boxing Its not a fighters skills that always get him the " wins" Its a matter of the $$$$$$$$$ & influence backing you that ENSURE they get the right decision.. Sad But True
You act like I'm the only one who said that the Euros were rigged for England. Tons of fans made statements to that. England got into the Final on a blatantly corrupt VAR decision in extra time. What more evidence do you need of corruption? Boxing is completely different, scoring is subjective, and the way to determine if a result was fair is to look at the rounds and see if you can get to the verdict in your own scoring. It's like Al Bernstein said after the match, the result was fair but the 117-111 was incorrect. So one judge scored too favorably to Charlo, but the result itself was fair, and that's what's important.
Yes. I do realize exactly what I am saying. Furthermore, I have very clearly and explicitly stated what I am saying here in this thread and in the RBR. Do you have a problem?
