With so many fights being fixed.....

[Nautilus]

i don't think there's that many fixed fights anymore, but i've seen more than a few cases of incompetent judging

incompetent or arranged for?

[phallus]

when the judges not only don't know what a majority decision is or how to give one, i'd call that incompetence, or when the mofos don't know what to give points for ( boy have i seen too much of this )

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

Oh yes was, at one point he was holding ont o Byrd for dear life.

But it is hard to say really, since Chris has not knocked out anyone in a very long time.

One can influence the official outcome of the fight by appointing incompetent judges that would be biased in favor or against certain boxers. Don't boxers/promoters have something to say when judges get appointed?

I heard something that the promoters give a pool of judges and the commission picks the ones the feel are necessary for that particular fight or it could be the other way around.

i don't think boxers have any say on the judging, but i'll bet the promoters do... i'm just tired of these bull**** hometown decisions like the biggest **** of the year - Augustus vs. Burton

i agree, too many incongruities are going on

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'm not a novice, and I'm not trendy. Maybe I should have said that someone should slide some extra love toward a couple of judges. Damn.

.....why the hell dont don king fix a holyfield fight and get his ass home before he hurts himself. ****, Brewster has been a part of two fishy fights in a row, put him in there with holyfield and king can have Brewster take a dive.

I read that Holyfield is now 'put on hold' by the boxing council. I doubt that he will be allowed to fight again.
He can now compete with Big George in the cheese burger eating contests!
Unfortunately, a lot of people hate seeing themselves lose their edge, or growing old!

Living one's life is about aging gracefully and accepting what life has to offer.

Strangely enough, I have a feeling that Tyson is going to go off the rails again quite soon. He is one person who will not accept that he is through.
