        While some fights are fixed I don't think that there are that many. I think the problem is that you get some incompetent judges that are hired by the promoters, yes some are hired by the promoters, who know that if they act more favorable to that promoters fighter, they will get more judging jobs in the future.

        The promoter also pays for all expenses for the judges(hotel,travel,and food).

            I don't think there are as much fixed fights as many people think. I think it's more with what the judges are doing. Sometimes they are just incompetent and some are swayed by the crowd more than they will admit. I also feel that some of the fans just need to realize that a fight is sometimes close enough to where if either fighter won it wouldn't be a robbery.

              People who say boxing is fixed or rigged are not real fights fans they are novices who know **** about the sport! IT is trendy to say that boxing is fixed and when you say that you expose yourself.

              Christsanswer...your boy has been in some pretty sketchy decisions, do you actually think he beat Fast Frez? How about Golota? How about McCline? Will Byrd ever ko another fighter in his life? Was Jeff Pegues the last guy he ko'd, I don't know?

                I agree with you about the fixed fights, people who really don't know the sport say fights are fixed.

                As for Byrd'd recent performances, I felt he lost to Oquendo by 2 points, he beat Golota by 2 points, and he beat McCline by 3-4 points.

                Who cares if he doesn't ever KO another fighter in is life, just as long as he wins. But he did have McCline almost ready to go.

                  McCline was off balance, I think, but definitely not ready to go
