Over a Caucasian opponent in a high profile fight?
Dirrell= Was clearly robbed vs Froch
Degale= Dominated Groves in those last seven rounds or so but got nothing
Eubank jr= Took over the fight after the 4th round tonight, the commentators on the radio including ex fighters Steven Collins and Richie Woodhall all had Chris winning the fight
It would appear that a KO is the only road to victory for certain fighters in the UK....James was a gold medallist on a great run but british boxing decided to invest in Groves which now looks like a pathetic decision. James was pretty much thrown in the trash...had to fight on channel 5 instead of Sky and fought in some right old dumps. Thankfully James has stuck two fingers up at those forces now.
The same will be true when it comes to Eubank jr...Billy Joe won't amount to much from what I saw tonight as the lad's got nothing on the inside...but british boxing has invested in him like they did with Groves...we'll see what happens next.
The bottom line though is if I were advising a black prospect in the UK I wouldn't allow them in fights like Degale/Groves or Eubank jr/Saunders as recent history suggests a decision is simply not likely regardless of how the fight goes.
WTF? The fight was close and to be honest It could have gone either way, a draw would have been ok too, so am not sure why the colour of the fighters skin is playing on your mind.
Brits deserve this thread
They are always portraying the US as a backwards racist place... They deserve their turn of false racism accusations
Proceed brotha, show these racist limey turds who's boss
"Searching for a great black hope"? erm why would anyone have to "search" when Floyd, Rigo and Ward are the best three technical boxers out there? :pat:
Floyd is a has-been who is ducking Pacquiao.
Rigo is Cuban, not African.
Ward is half-White and semi-retired.
1. firstly FECK YOU!!..you don't even know what "race" I am
2. Steve Collins and Richie Woodhall had Eubank winning and are they "black"? NO!!
Honestly some people are so damn ignorant around here (smh) .
Freedom is the first to cry racism so don't mind him.
LOL keep reaching son!!..your favourite fighters aren't better than those three...FACT :bottle: .
Well they won't fight them so we can never know :afro::nono:
Eubanks own corner were saying 'WHATS A MATTER WITH YOU. YOU NEED A KNOCKOUT'
Does his OWN CORNER not qualify as experts? You just GOT TOLD SON!!!! Sweet dreams.
His corner were fully aware of current climate in the UK scene that's why...he was never gonna get a decision no-matter what he done.
HAHA are you on crack? Many experts have said BJS won. Bookies MAKE A LIVING FROM CALLING THINGS RIGHT. Do you think they would get it wrong?
Eubank did NOTHING for 5 rounds!!! The other rounds he maybe won 3/4 at most. Stop your racist **** and get lost. Idiot. People like you are the reason for racism.
Who are these "experts" you Muppet? please enlighten me!!...furthermore quit your garbage "racist" line as clearly you don't know what the hell it means you silly prat.
LOL yeah "bookies" are better boxing "experts" then REAL boxers right? get real SON!!.

THE BOOKIES **NEVER** HAD EUBANK WINNING THE FIGHT AT ANYTIME SINCE THE BELL RANG AND THEY MAKE A LIVING OUT OF GETTING THINGS RIGHT!!!
Eubank LOST on a unanimous in my eyes SIMPLE AS. I don't care if Eubank was white, black, yellow, red or purple. HE LOST. Get the **** over it boy.

Well tbh I said BIG FIGHTS, so Kell Brooks early shows aren't valid and even if they were he's rarely ever had a close fight domestically has he? the Jones fight was close but Jones isn't Caucasian.
Cheers for posting without insults though.
Leonard Bundu, a foreign black fighter won a decision over a white British fighter Frankie Gavin in August.
I wanted Eubank to win, but he lost the fight. His own corner were telling him he needed a KO to win.
Again SO YOU NOW MORE ABOUT BOXING THAN STEVE COLLINS AND RICHIE WOODHALL? who btw incase you didn't know ARE CAUCASIAN!!

Floyd's ducked Manny for half a decade.
Rigo is overrated and is ducking 126.
Ward doesn't even fight anymore.

The OP has a good point. Personally, I think that in any close fights between a white man and a black/semi-black man, the non white fighter should always lose the fight on the grounds that it's racist if he doesn't.
I would go so far as to suggest that even if a white fighter beats a black/semi-black man by knock out, instead of being awarded the victory he should be disqualified and charged by the police with some form of racially aggravated assault, instead.
Racism needs to be booted out of boxing, and the best way to do this is to show overt favoritism to black boxers.
To do otherwise would be racist.
Another IDIOT who can't handle the facts :pat:
