The shocking facts of where Bernard Hopkins grew up

[kayjay]

Who cares what the judges saw? Judges in boxing are full of **** half the time.

This is the attitude that makes most opinions on these boards pretty worthless.

Punk kids who have only watched boxing on television think they should determine the winners.

If you consistently disagree with the trained, experienced judges, it's because YOU don't know what you're looking at.

And who says they're better then the average fan??? Who says they're superior to a big boxing fan judging the fight from home.

Most of those guys are doctors and lawyers......no better then anybody else.

Some are good and some are bad. Some just have an off night or maybe have an odd angle watching the fight.

Sometimes it's a close fight and none of the judges are right or wrong which ever way they score the fight as long as the fight is close on their scorecard and not some ridiculous 119-108 type decision.

In other words, the judges are nothing special or any better then your hardcore boxing fan watching at home.


Critisizing the judges is not the same as critisizing the fighters themselfs. If you're a couch potato critisizing professsional athetes is one thing but sitting on that couch questioning another obese guys scorecards is another.

Vlad...if this thread is closed...why do u keep adding to it ?

Lets stop being so ****in' dumb shall we and dump this thread.


Bernard Hopkins is a product of his environment. He is a hard man. He is not a ignorant thug but he is a street smart wise guy who has seen some ****.

Anybody who does 4 years in the penitentiary and goes on to become a professional fighters gets props from me. Usually when someone soft makes it after 4 years, they have booty problems and self confidence issues for the rest of their lifes.

Thread closed.

lmao.........

Because It keeps resurfing as if there is more to discuss when there isn't.

Yes there is

The fight DEPENDS on what the judges saw, REALLY. Bought off? Tell me...WHO in that scenario would have the money to pay off any judges and for what reason?

How about HBO Boxing. The people who stand to make the most money off of Jermain Taylors success. The division of the company that Lou Dibella, Who promotes Jermain Taylor used to run. Regardless of that, Are you saying that boxing Judges are honest and not bought off or encouraged to sway there decision?

Yeah right Scully. Your trying to tell me every Horrible, ****ed up decision in boxing is a legitimate result of what a judge truly saw? I know that's not true.
