        Even Calzaghe didn't complain about that scorecard.

          Thats an outrage. Joe didn't land anything clean outside of the low blow and was knocked down, you just sound like an ******* even typing that ****.

            its the promoters who do it - they either pay off the judges and extort them...anyone remember the Valuev - Holyfield fight?...Beyer vs Green...

              We gave those judges hell, and that was a one time thing, and the immediate rematch was callled for. Also that fight was clloser than the CHambers fight. Name me one high way robbery in a big fight since then.
              Sturm vs. De La Hoya

              Santa Cruz vs. the New York-based Casamayor

              Meehan vs. Brewster

              Martinez vs. Cintron, an American citizen

                American judges are no better! Examples: Briggs vs foreman,Briggs vs Botha,Byrd vs oquendo...I could go on.that's why I'm all for teddy atlas' scoring meter.the computer keeps track & a judge would then have to explain his scoring.it would expose the poor,unqualified,payed off judges.for **** sake when did melvina lathan ever score a fight correctly? They made her the head of the new York state athletic commission...I have so many fights with her as a judge & she's always out to lunch! Bring on teddys scoring meter worldwide.

                  I agree, and he was robbed of another clear UD by an English judge when he fought Reid.

                    The judge who scored today's fight a draw 113-113 was from the UK, not Germany.

                      Meehan vs. Brewster

                      Martinez vs. Cintron, an American citizen-Once again neither fighter was American
                      Valuev-Holyfield

                      Nearly every single Sven fight

                      and a million others.

                      Those examples were pitiful. I could sit here and list a hundred examples and you can only come up with Non American fighters?
