Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye June 20 in Berlin

[The Hammer]

Tunney all Cortez did was break up Hatton excessive clinching. He would have got his ass beat anyways.

He deducted a point for nothing. Up to that point, the fight was close.

And he prevented the reach-challenged Hatton from fighting his fight on the inside, against a boxer in Floyd who has a longer reach than many heavyweights.

There are home decisions and unfair refereeing everywhere. I saw both last Saturday in Houston, in the John-Juarez fight - ref helped Juarez, and the judges scored the fight unfaiirly. I've seen terrible judging everywhere (including in the UK for the second M'Baye-Kotelnik fight, even the UK commentators thought so).

I saw several early stoppages in Haye fights, such as the Mock fight, and it makes me a bit wary of Wlad fighting there. The home ref helped Haye against Barrett (for example, letting Haye hit the back of Barrett's head, and calling a Haye pushdown a knockdown).

It happens everywhere - home refs also helped Mayweather against Hatton, and Ottke against Reid. You only become bitchy and sennsitive when I mention UK refs doing it.

Yes it does happen everywhere, exactly - ALSO in Germany, if anything more so than the UK.

So what's your apparent fair take.

To say your happy with fair judging in Germany where it conveniently doesn't favour Haye.

Yet you criticise and would be unhappy with it in the UK where it would slightly favour Haye.

I'm basically calling double standards.

Shady things happen everywhere in boxing, but Germany has the worst reputation of any nation.

I'm a fan of Wlad so of course I want him to win.

Anyone with a clue knows this fight won't go to the judges - two big punchers with questionable chins.

Double standards I'm a boxing fan, dummy.

What a load of **** Hatton-Mayweather was not close for 6 rounds. Hatton won two rounds, but it wasn't close really.

"Reach Challenged" Hatton has had sucess against fighters with longer reach then him. Cortez's action was not that bad. The timeouts were terrible, but in terms of breaking them up, he was good. He had warned Mayweather too when Mayweather used tactics of his own. Hatton tried to do a lot of dirty work on the inside and was fairly warned for it. The point deduction was warranted. He clearly went for Mayweather illegally.

Also not sure how Mayweather's 72 inch reach was that much of a factor. When you jump in literally with your head, you are going to get caught. Also the fight was mostly fought on the inside when Mayweather was still out working him

[Chunk..]

Tunney got banned! YAY!

I heard from my friends in TC that Gene Tunney is actually Addison's alter ego.

The excited faces of Wlad fans, when Wlad lands a stiff jab.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The dejected faces of Wlad fans when Haye knocks him the f**k out moments later.

[My Name Is...]

Haye will KO Wlad in 3.... If it goes late it benefits Wlad and David knows this..... Haye will come out crazy early in the fight and KO Wlad ala Cory Sanders.....

Hatton fights like that in all of his fights... Then he got beat at his own game and you complain?? What a tool...........
