This article first began to develop when we were contacted by the Bronco McKart camp asking me to look into irregularities on the fight card that took place on March 29 at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt.

I was provided with documents that were at best a product of bad math and at worst altered scorecards.

By Keith Terceira - Boxing in recent decades has been kicked to the curb by the general public due mainly to the focus of main stream media on the few bad apples (promoters and fighters) and rather than balance the coverage the majority of print and television companies stopped reporting anything that was good in our sport, choosing to pander to other professional sports.
