But Americans have so often said the same about German judges, or British judges, or judges from many other foriegn countries. Some of the worst robberies have been in the US!
Why are people not being "too grim" if they say the same about boxing judges in other countries?
judges are judges. they get some right, and others wrong regardless of where they are. it is human nature. happens all the time, and to say everything is biased and racist as much as you do is very grim,and bitter. but whatever man, it's all good.
No way did Sosnowski lose EVERY round of his close fight with Zuri Lawrence, nor did Wolek lose seven rounds in his fight with Smith, nor did Pavlik lose all but one round of Pavlik-Taylor I.
But Holyfield-Lewis I, Meehan-Brewster, Casamayor(fights for American promoter)-Santa Cruz, De La Hoya-Sturm, Golota-Ruiz and many others were.
It's at least as difficult for a foriegner to win a decision in the US, as it is for an American boxer to win a decision in Europe.
I see your points in a way. But this will be a style fight and Jones style will look better than Joe's. Like Joe's last fight he just "LOOKED" better by throwing more punches than Hop with a result, winning more rounds to win a very very ugly and sad SD. But who doesn't look ugly in there with Hop right?
Jones vs Calzaghe. This is the same in a sense. Jones style will look a hell of a lot better than Joe's and YES if the round is close. I would assume it will go to Jones just like they went to Joe in the Calzaghe Hopkins fight. Styles make fights and Roy's style is as EVERYONE knows better or appears to be. Which is the point.....
So over all if the round is close, yes it might go to Jones who will be flashy, quick and will dance around and clown Joe to sell the judges, JUST as Joe does with his little windmill super flurry work rate style to win rounds.
That was in Las Vagas. Only one of the three judges was biased against Joe.
This will be in the New York area, where a higher percentage of the boxing judges are jingoistic - they LOVE Roy Jones and dislike Brits.
If Julie Lederman works the fight, she will not score a round for Joe, unless there's a knockdown. I'm willing to bet 50 K to anyone's 1 K on that. Care to bet?
Please explain why Adalaide Byrd was "bias". I got to hear this. Also, why your at it why don't your try and explain what your suggesting about Lederman.
So fighting Glen right after being KO'ed by Tarver so soon had no effect? Like I have been saying Jones will NOT (not) be punch shy by Joe Calzaghe's power (or lack of) beleieve it. Jones was scared of Tarver and just punch shy in the fight with Glen because he was fighting too soon. FACT.
Like I said Joe Calzaghe will present no such power to have Jones scared like he was with Tarver and Glen. Truth.....
Can glass hands break a glass jaw??????????
Go ahead, I'll wait.......
No, I'd agree. Jone's chin has been more vulnerable after the 2nd Tarver fight. But Glen caught him with a shot ON THE TEMPLE! Your chin doesn't rebuild itself. A lay-off might rejuvanete your body but not your chin.
And in the Tito Trinidad fight, Roy wasn't exactly trading punches with a natural welter/junior middle either! He was walking the smaller man down just like Winky did. Something he is not going to be able to do with Joe Calzaghe.
If Roy obviously respected the smaller Trinidad's power, he's going to respect Calzaghe's as well. He wasn't even winning rounds against Tito trying to box. He won them with the high guard. And Tito's a straight forward fighter who has problems with movement.
Theres only two fighters in the ring, its not hard to be right in this sport. gamblers advisory brags about there picks when there right, but are they ******? It's like anyone can choose a fighter to win, the odds are good that your fighter will win when theres only two fighters in the ****ing ring.
I know it's a ****ing joke, that's like 50% chance of winning which in ********...is ****ing high!
