it's about time, i've seen the fight it was a straight up blatant robbery, the south african won a gift decision even though being brutally beaten the entire fight, even been knock down once but the south african still won the decision, they should ban everyone involved and conduct a full criminal investigation, might have ties to the local mob

Haven't seen the fight but this IBO belt, who cares about it?

a minor organization like this, don't know why boxing scene classifies them as such when they are not, 7 divisions w/out champions and no credible judges in that they are borrowed from IBF/WBO and only maintain a list of 35 officials world wide and their "major" bouts always in S Africa...get real...haven't seen the bout yet and this guy Pernik who had 10-9 for kckdwn says the guy who went down was winning the round, it happened at the end of the round where no other action took place...very rare indeed a 10-9...
