No I wouldn’t to be honest no matter how much I supported that fighter, I would rather them win properly than have the decision given to him. Once the judges make a bad decision there is nothing we as spectators can do so I guess we can only put up with it. Even if a fighter is given a bad decision you cannot blame the fighter because he was just doing his job, the judges would be the ones who made the error. I compared this to the Oscar-Bernard fight because I just had a gut feeling that Oscar would win if it went the distance.

yip I have wez, another good one is "Facing Ali" cant remember the author but its 15 of his opponents, and what's happened to them during and since meeting ali, focussing on their fights with Ali obviously, very entertaining read.

Especially the frazier chapter, amazed me that Joe actually helped Ali so much when he was out in the cold.

The book is so massive and expensive cos its signed by Ali, only a 1000 copies signed I belive hence the hefty price tag. It is however a work of art.

Hmmmm I may have to look for the “Facing Ali” book, I always like to hear about what his opponents thought of him. Muhammed made a lot of people famous in his own ways, Chuck Wepner became a star through fighting him. Coopmen became a local hero too for fighting him. His life story is amazing, he has lived through so many great experiences. The sadder part to it all is that most of the people who influenced him were just after his money because they knew he was nice. Some say Ali even knew people were stealing from him but he turned a blind eye to it. I would pay any price for a good Ali book.

I'm going to look on Amazon to see if i can order it. I suppose i am an "Ali Lover" but not in a ****sexual way of course. I just admire the man and the life he has lived.

I haven't seen much of Scott Dann, how did you get to interview him?

You get some work done anyway, getting the sack is no good at all. Boxing is addictive but it's not worth losing your job over.

IM BACK BOSS IN A MEETING

he is our british boxer of the week at the site I write for so just got his managers number form the esteemed runner of the site, who has forgotten more about boxing than Ill ever know.

Its a pretty tight community in England you know. No problem with people speaking to you, no problem getitng inteviews its just finding the time.

Anyway he has loads of peoples number Im gonna do a piece onteh Lightwieghts which is a strong division and try and get Jim Watt to do a commentary for us on it.

Oscar wouldn't have won if the fight went the distance. Hopkins i believe had a commanding lead on two scorecards and was losing on one. And by the looks of the mid rounds, Hopkins wasn't about to budge and give up some points. Had the fight continued, Bernard would've swept the late rounds and gotten the decision.

Jim Watt, i don't mean no disrespect here but he really annoys me so much. I don't know why but each time he commentates on a fight i always get pissed at him. He is so bias sometimes. I like Ian Darke as a commentator, he speaks sense.

[RockyMarciano]

The judges, the comentating and even the ref (i counted 2 nut shots, 1 bad one) were all about Oscar winnig this fight......you can't argue that point what so ever

[LuKahnLi]

Actually, at the time of the stoppage, two judges had Hopkins winning.
