what people dont seem to get is that there is a difference between a close fight and a robbery
Burton/Augustus was BY FAR the worst of the year

to me, it was felix sturm-oscar dela hoya fight! just because dela hoya-hopkins fight is waiting there at the side, they would let this happen and award the fight to dela hoya? if we watch the tape again, sturm was the clear winner there so i am voting for this fight! no controversy for pac-man and marquez, it was a close call but the judge who admitted he made a mistake judging for a 10-7 count should be banned! i don't get it why he admitted it although the fight was over and the decision has already been given to the fight. he should have sticked to his previous judgement which is 10-7!Comment

Why the judge admitted it? Well because sooner or later that mistake gonna be discovered and brought out in the open. If he didn't admit it as early as he did, that judge is going to be accused of altering the result of the fight intentionally. He wanted to clear his name and put that incident as a case of plain and simple error.
Controversy on that Pacquiao/Marquez fight? Well I will go back to my original contention, it is still unbelievable and unacceptable for me to accept that the REF and a JUDGE would screw up big time at the same time in a fight of such magnitude and stature. It's hard to prove anything so that will stay as is . . . and who's the promoter for that DLH/Sturm fight? . . .suprised? I just hope and pray that Arum suffers a heart attack that would paralize half of his body . . . . no I don't want him dead yet . . . I want him to suffer as payback for the injustices he had commited against the fighters and the sport.Comment

Yeah Pac-Marquez has to take my vote of course though without a doubt I'll never forget Juarez-Raheem. Jaurez got saved by the ref without a doubt. I'm sure that ref will be banned. It was disgusting watching it. Maybe the ref wanted to get popular or something because he was the main focus once he got into the habit of yelling at Raheem every 10 seconds.
As for the Pac-Marquez scoring. Ya know it was a close fight though in the end where it matters, if you score everything properly, Pac should have gotten the win. Making these Oops, I didn't know I was suppose to do that or, people usually don't give 10-6s, that's just bad for the sport. Boxing is a hard sport as is with all the corruption. With a judge admitting his wrong scoring AFTER the fight just takes that to the next level. I'll tell you this though, Arum is very good at protecting his fighters...Comment

Come One!!!!!
A REAL robbery is the Burton fight. COme on, Marquez-Pacman and Byrd-Golota were close fights and were not clear robberies at all. Just b/c your favorite fighter is in a close fight doesn't mean he won . . .Comment

No question, Augustus vs. Burton was the worst case of home
cooking i've seen in years. I saw that fight, several rounds went by without Burton landing a single punch and they had him winning. BULL****!!! ...Also Byrd - Oquendo, Byrd lost that fight and the judges gave him an early Xmas presentComment
