View Full Version : Ban Germany?
- Evil - 10-01-2005, 07:25 PM Germany should be banned from boxing, its a disgrace how time after time they continue to rob fighters. The belts should refuse to sanction fights there anymore.
I accept hometown decisions, its been part of boxing since it began but a hometown decision is IMO where the home fighter wins the close rounds, its not them winning every round regardless of how they perform!!
I can only think of a couple of times when a fighters been "robbed" in the UK. When Johnny Nelson fought Guillermo Jones i'd consider that unfair even tough the fight was a draw and when Scott Harrison beat Victor Polo it caused a few deabates. Even then when it wasnt really robbing i felt sorry for the opponents so the German fans surely must feel like fools because ALL OF THEIR FIGHTS ARE FIXED!!
Dont confuse Germany with other european countrys, they are on their own when it comes to biased decisions.
Tha Greatest 10-01-2005, 07:28 PM YES!!!
Not only the judges are fixed, but ALSO the referee and ****.
No. Because not every single fight that takes place in Germany results in a bad decision.
In my opinion.....if you ban Germany...
You should ban ****ing Las Vegas. Its ten times worse.

Rovers 10-01-2005, 07:30 PM i remembered being so pissed off at the decisin of ottke vs reid
reid had him knockedown the ref down everything to help ottke , now they act as if he was the best supermiddleweight at the time, he would of been ko'd by the top 15 supermiddleweights around if he'd faced them outside germany

EVen the between round replays were funny. The German would get pounded by Brewster but they'll show a replay of the other guy landing a jab. It was as sickening as it was funny.

De La Hoya was robbed against Tito, but i suppose he shouldnt have assumed he'd won run for the last few rounds.
Its hardly the same as losing every round but still winning the fight(Ottke vs Reid)

While I do believe that DLH won against Trinidad I wouldnt call it a flat out robbery. The fact is that DLH ran and didnt do enough to win convincingly. A little of the same can be said for BHop vs Taylor.

Even if Hopkins did win he can only blame himself, he wasnt even fighting for the first half of the fight. Thats probably the worst fight plan i've ever seen anyone attempt.

You win.

No I dont have it. I saw that fight a long time ago and it still remains a complete robbery. Anyone will tell you that.

I am also sure he thought Foreman recieved a gift.

Its pretty hard to remember them because there not big fights, all i know is everytime i watch eurosports(shows a lot of German fights) i see someone getting robbed.
Sven Ottke was probably the worst for biased decisions, i've never seen an unbeaten fighter get beat so many times.

Ok sure. I will agree Germans have a strange system in place for reffing and judging fights.
But going back to the point of the thread, I say no. You cant ban Germany without banning Las Vegas.
It is equally as bad. And maybe worse in a sense because of the big names and marquis fights.

The thing that really gets me about German fights is that no matter now bad the decision is the fans will always applaud the winner. When i see a bad decision in Vegas the fans normally acknowledge their man should have really lost.
If not ban them they shoudl at least investigate some of these decisions, especially something as bad as Ottke vs Reid, i know everyone keeps mentioning that fight but it just goes to show how bad it really was.
But i suppose fighters go to Germany knowing the could get robbed, but they take the risk because the moneys so good.

A very small ratio of these fights are robberies, where in Germany a large percentage end in robberies.

Hopkins dominated in terms of power-punching in 8 out of 12 rounds, including rounds 3,4, and 5.

I only see the bigger fights in US, so i probably dont see these robberys. Here in the UK fights normally get judged correctly, theres always a few debates about close decision but thats always going to happen because its personal opinion.
I like Augustus, but he does get a few bad decisions. Surely a man who give Mayweather trouble should have a better record than he does.

Its not banning the sport there, no one other than the German government can do that, its stopping world title fights until the judging improves.
I think thats fair because the judging has been terrible.
I feel bad for Larry Donald. But everybody knows he really won the fight. He is promoted by Don King. If he keeps fighting well I am sure he find his way to a title shot. And who do you think Don wanted to win this fight. Valuev or Donald? I would opine that Ruiz vs Valuev is a more promotable bout that Ruiz Donald. And isn't Ruiz sueing King? Valuev might match up better against Ruiz, A man you would assume is on King's ****list.
