    Litigation was appropriate when Holyfield lost ten rounds and got a draw with Lennox Lewis. To claim this was in that category is ridiculous.

      The worst thing about it though, is time is not on Johnsons side, but Chad's.

        No, this is in the nate campbell kind of fight. Where it was clearly obvious that Glen had won, but just like Nate. Nate had one judge in his fight against Diaz who scored the fight for Diaz. Piss poor judging and corruption in boxing happens way too much, I'm 100 percent sure the judges were paid off unless they were smoking crack all night long and couldn't see how much better johnsons offense and defense was all 12 rounds against Chad Fraud Dawson.

          How are you 100% sure the judges, who were all from South Florida, were paid off and how can you prove these statements. Either they are statements you can prove or you pulled them out of your ass, which was it?

              That was then, judges are now paid by the athletic commission.

                  That wouldn't stop them from being paid extra on top by others. Not suggesting that's how it was, it's just a thought.

                    Johnson was an easy guy to root for. The problem is that Dawson won more rounds than he did. What has some people fooled is that the rounds Johnson won, he won them more impressively. But boxing matches are scored by rounds, and all this outrage is misplaced IMO.

                      This BTW is a press release, sent out by the promoter of Glen Johnson, and in no shape or form an unbiased opinion.

                      Promoters filing protests after close decision losses is almost as automatic as lawyers filing appeals when their clients lose a case these days.
