Some guys are acting like they don't know this. A lot of fights are close and hard to judge but when you have a situation like last night where a loss would hurt a big money fight or damage a guy they want to build up its a fix. Delahoya vs Sturm would be another example.
Sometimes the promoter pays the judge to fix scoring or pays the fighter to lose. I know tons of lower level guys who get paid to lose. I know a guy who was offered a fight with butterbean but he had to agree to lose. Mickey rourke to. all his opponents were paid to lose.
The promoter pays all the expenses for judges so sometimes they just favor the house fighter slightly because they want to keep getting the perks and plush assignments. Its understood
some people here seem to think boxing is on the up and up and bad decisions are the result of judges not knowing what they're doing. they know exactly what they're doing and you can't stop it. 90% of the time a 2 year old could tell you who won a fight.
