    Worst robbery i ever witnessed. Just a shame. Those judges need to be taken back and shot. If not, shoot the guy who paid them off.

    Boxing is losing casual fans, but true boxing fans are still watching. Ppv numbers are still good. There are tons of boxing gyms all over the world filled with thousands of future boxers. Its the older generation that is hurting boxing, not the fighters themselves but old tired officials who are showing poorer and poorer judgement. Referees, judges, the commisioners who appoint them, and promoters.

    How much longer can this happen? This is beyond just your run of the mill "robbery". This is criminal. Judges need to be accounted for.

    The worst robbery I've ever seen remains Coggi-Gonzalez 1.

    Coggi should've been KO'd, or lost by DQ, on 3 different occasions in that 2nd round. He still managed to get out of the round and win the fight.

    The only reason I say its not the worst I've seen is because of Casamayor-Santa Cruz. Granted, Paul got more busted up than Casa, but at least Paul threw more punches than his opponent by a wide margin. Casa only won two rounds (like Paul) and threw and landed less. At least Paul gave the judges something to cling to. Casa did not that night and Santa-Cruz became the worst robbed fighter I've ever seen.

    He doesn't know, he's an idiot. It's basically like this, he's one of those guys that if we were all standing around having a conversation he would blurt out some nonsense just to hear himself speak. Since we are all are on the internet though, it's just a bit different. Instead of speaking, he's typing, typing just to see himself post. Either way, speaking or typing the final verdict is that he's an idiot.

    I just listened to his rant and now I don't know if I'm more disgusted by the refs or by these idiot.

    Neither Paul or Casamayor gave anything to cling to it, Casa lost because he loss and Paul loss because he got beat up from pole to pole, no excuses.

    Lara/Williams fight is one of the worst decisions I have ever seen! The judges should be investigated, follow the money. Did they get paid for this? The worst decision I have ever seen was Dale Brown Vs. O'Neil Bell, Brown beat Bell around the ring staggering him over and over with blood everywhere! Even Bell's home town fans were booing! Martinez/Williams I was bad decision, etc.

    Every bit as bad as Santa Cruz-Casamayor, Everett-Escelara, Whitaker-Ramirez, or Reid vs Ottke.

    (I refuse to list the "winners" first.)
