I have left several message...this guy cannot ruin someone livelyhood like that and not explain himself.
His scorecard was beyond disgraceful, it was heartbreaking!!!!
PM for the number!!!
What people need to understand is that when have bad officiating sport wide, you are going to lose fans. The scorecard was horrible plain and simple. Its obvious that Mr. Benoist doesn't know more about the sport than we do because if he did he would have had that fight much closer. His scorecard showed that Paul Williams won rounds 3-12. There's no way that happened. I had the fight 115-115.
Couple this bad scorecard with the 2 morons that scored the Funeka fight and the idiot in Texas that scored the Diaz/Malinaggi fight and this demonstrates that you have a serious problem. There plenty of fights in 2009 where the judges blatantly got it wrong. Right now these people don't have to answer to anybody. So it wouldn't bother me if ESPN or a couple of reporters gave them a call.
I'd pick a profession where 3 random people's opinion didn't influence how I got paid. Either that or I'd man up and not allow the fight to be close.
I guess you like robberies in boxing, cool.....Oh and everyone in this world can't do the same profession.....some people have to be cops, lawyers, football players, boxers....
Yep, you're an idiot.
This is why women and sports don't mix. Don't get so emotional. As someone else said, it's not like he raped Sergio's wife. Cut an old blind man a break.
So if you fought for 12 rounds and you knew you won and then you hear a score card that said you only won 1 round and then on top of that...the judge that gave you one round won't even explain to you why?
yep, you're an idiot!!!
it was a bad scorecard but nobodies livelihood got taken advantage of. it was a close fight and a lot of rounds could have gone either way.
How do you know...How do you know what Martinez and countless other boxers have to sacrifice just to get to that next level and stay relevant.
I mean being away from your families for months, the cost of training camp, losing weight, learning technique all so u can get on TV and sometime a loss get you kicked off TV.
So all that hard work to win a fight or perform to the highest standard and some judge robs you, and you are saying nobody livelihood got taken advantage off....are you kidding me?
All these inept judges should at least explain their scorecard instead of going into obscurity like they always do when they are finish doing their famous John Dillinger impression.
wats not cool is putting the entire sports integrity up in question for the billionth time.
Lets not be so fukin sensitive, post the # and make him blow his paycheck from the fight on a new phone number
I agree, these corrupt officials need to feel the repercussions of selling their scorecard to make an extra buck.
If the extreme incompetence is from his age, then he should retire. Being a boxing judge isn't selling avon products and shit, it directly affects other peoples lives. Fighters train and deprive themselves for years to get to the point where they're on HBO. Shit isn't some retirement fund for old judges to make money.
There's probably a better way to go about it though, like emailing HBO and threatening to cancel subscription or boycott promoters. C.R.E.A.M. so that's what would motivate them to actually do something.

what I don't get is that everyone who is mad is mostly saying they thought Martinez won. but they'd still be mad if this guy turned in 115-113 Williams. same deal in the Malignaggi-Diaz fight. Diaz won a close fight with or without that BS card. one card does not tarnish the result, and neither Malignaggi nor Martinez did enough to win either of those fights. close but not a win.
I'd be mad if he scored the fight 119-110 for martinez, I thought Martinez won by a narrow margin. Seriously though, this guy aint worth the effort, time, and long distance charges for shit like this. You can get in trouble for harassing him like this too.
Thats ridiculous. If anyone is going to be expressing disgust at anything, it will be at your avatar you fucking queer.
His scorecard was absurd, but that's no reason to harass him. Neither guy won that fight clearly, it was a very competitive contest.
damn man looking at your avatar has me wondering how long it's gonna be before MJ and Toney are doing those commercials during Friday Night Fights
your beard is weird
your stash is trash!!!!!!!
I think the article in "The Examiner" was much better.

It not about who win or losses...it the constant bad scoring in these fights....Boxing, the sport we love, is hurting because when casual fans watch, and this is all they see...it turns them off.
hey, the fight could have gone either way but to condone this continue behavior is unacceptable....three time this year it's happened
It not about just the boxers per se, it about OUR sport!!!
you have a naked guy in your avatar, for Christ's sake. what about preserving the the good name of this forum! it's bullsh*t like this that makes me keep my f*cking avatar
bullsh*t like this and the photos of the Klitschkos ass f**king butt naked by the ocean is the reason boxing is in the deep sh*t it's in right now, literally and figuratively
Why don't you post George Bush's # too while you're at it so that millions could call or probably even harass his ass for doing such a shitty job. Just a thought.
