    I was wondering what people would prefer in the following scenario: One of your favourite boxers A is fighting an opponent B. The fight goes to the scorecards and the common consensus is that B was clearly the winner of the fight and even you have to agree with that. Now which of the two options would you prefer when the scorecards are revealed?

    1. A wins
    2. B wins

    B wins. I hate seeing guys who obviously won being ripped off.

    eg. Kessler vs Calzaghe.

    B wins.


    I'm a big Calzaghe fan (there, I've said it! I feel better now!!) and want him to beat Kessler. But if MK clearly wins I'd be really embarrased as a Brit if the decision goes to Joe. It would do his rep more harm than a legitimate loss imo.

    It's best for teh sport if there are no robberies though I personally think they need to revamp the scoring to include when fighters are chasing the other fighter and they continuously run from them. Aggression should count for something.

    B.

    I didn't like it when DLH got the nod vs. Sturm.

    Not even after he had been ROBBED against Tito.

    But what if a loss to "A" ruins a super-mega fight with Bernard Hopkins?????? Then you have to want "A" to win right?

    It depends. If B wins 8 rounds or more, then most of fighter's A fans will want fighter B to win the decsion. Bad decisons hurt the sport of boxing.

    However, if the fight is close with B edging it say 7 rounds to 5, I'd betcha the majority of fighter A's fans will claim he won the fight.

    If A loses clearly his fans will claim that he won anyway so...
