    The judges simply won't allow the money guy to lose. A KO is the only way. The judges in PR tried their best to snuff out Salido, but Salido finished the job.

    Will an old wily Marquez beat arguably the best fighter P4P? Nope.

    Will the skillful (but relatively unknown) Campillo beat an undefeated American star on his way to big money fights? Nope.

    Will this no-name Abril defeat one of the hottest fighters in the sport with an exciting and marketable style? You're kidding right?

    It's just tiring :verysad

    Yeah, achieving a major upset seems like a big no-no if you're not planning on doing it by knockout.

    Khan vs Peterson - LP won despite alot thinking Khan won.

    Robberies will always be the case in boxing - where money is involved more often than not so is corruption

    True, and I'm not saying every judge is corrupt or for sale, just that more often than not if the less-marketable guy wins, he is robbed.
