What is it with close decisions and crying robbery?

[Mozza]

The three guest judges on Showtime all had it 116-112 Dawson as well.

Well that's even more unusual then. I think the safest thing to say here is that sometimes we get bad decisions and some shoddy judges but claims of robbery and, by implication, corruption are unsubstantiated and we should be careful of making such allegations without proof.

No they didn't. One judge had it 114-114 and I can't remember the other scores.

It wasn't close like the judges and some biased ppl had it. It was 8-4 glen johnson, he picked dawsons punches off and deserve the win. Glen had the better offense and defense, landing more punches per round and blocking more often then dawson.

For the fight to be close chad dawson needs to learn not to punch Glen johnsons gloves because your not suppose to get points by punching the other boxers gloves yet ppl seem to score it for him even though thats where the majority of dawsons punches landed.

**** was robbery, if Nate Campbell didn't get the decision over Juan Diaz. And one corrupt judge had it for Diaz, then that would be bull**** too.

guess what your opinion and score of a fight is just that an opinion, a score. I thought a draw was appropriate for this fight but a one or two point victory in either way would have been acceptable to me. Sorry your guy lost but this is boxing get over it or that **** will eat you up.

for the record the judges score cards were all 118-114 in a UD win because some ppl are confused

If the Majority of the people who saw the fight say it was a robbery then it was!

Are you talking about the glen johnson vs. chad dawson fight? The Official scores by all three judges were 116-112, that's 8 rounds to four. I personally had it a draw but I understand 7 rounds to 5 for dawson. If you weren't talking about the dawson/johnson fight disregard this message.

I thought your post was about the offical judges not the Showtime because the Showtime scored it differently

[raabd]

I don't think so.

Yes. You said guest judges not official judges. The official scores were all 116-112 for dawson. The ringside guest judges had the following scores: 114-114,115-113 for dawson, and 115-112 for dawson.
