Malignaggi: "This is Why Boxing Has No Popularity Left"

[Junito-Rulez]

Stop posting the same worthless editorial in every thread. Quoted to ensure I award you negative karma when I am allowed to distribute reputation again.




Quinton Jackson/Forrest Griffin was a perfectly judged fight. What the **** are you going on about? Jackson himself agreed with the decision. In fact, Griffin beat the dog**** out of him for nearly twenty five minutes straight. Take off your fanboy goggles.

Not sure about that, i don't really like Rampage but he hurt him at least twice a round ( in the 3rd and 4rth) and won most if not all boxing exchanges. Rampage won the first 10-9, the third 10-9, the fourth 10-9 and lost the second and the fifth(9-10, 9-10). If you don't believe me check out the fightmetrics, it's like the compubox of MMA.

UFC wanted their poster boy to get the belt, Rampage regretted what he just said after the fight and says he got robbed off his belt. Lyoto Machida agrees with me and said Rampage won the fight.

There is no way Paulie lost that fight... As always I had my own scorecard going and I had it 116-112 for Paulie.... AND I like both fighters for anyone who assumes otherwise.

It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth after seing Paulie get cheated like that. I bet if Paulie could choose between getting Knocked Out clean and this he would say KO... There is absolutely NO WAY that Juan diaz won more than 4 rounds in this fight... It is a damn shame and Paulie is ABSOLUTELY right about EVERYTHING he said before the fight and after.

Juan you are a stand up dude but as a man you should have said something about this... You could have made a difference and you stayed quiet. Like I said I like them both but its obvious that there was something fixed here.. I repeat there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY in the sport of boxing in any town where Juan Diaz won this fight... Fighters train so hard and dedicate themselves too much to get ****ed like this... Paulie made a comment that was honest when he said I didn't beat him 118-110 and he didn't beat me 118-110....

Something must be done about this or our sport is in HUGE trouble.

Co-sign! If anybody has the leverage to make a change its HBO and Showtime. They need to make sure that competent, unbiased judges are chosen in order prevent these kind of shannanigans from scaring their viewership away. There will obviously be pushback from those trying to protect their turf but the networks can threaten to pull their money out if this type of blatant favoritism continues.

Its one thing to have judges that favor ring generalship over pressure etc, but it's totallly different when they rule like they aren't even watching the fight.

i'm from houston...and i was all in for juan winning this ****...but no way in hell can i even fix my face to say that paulie didn't win that fight...that judge that scored it 118-110 needs to be taken out of boxing...

Malignaggi exposed GBP, Juan Diaz and Texas judges big time. Paulie knew the chances of him getting screwed were very high and he took some actions before the fight. People were clowning him when he said those things and look what happen.

I wonder what did Paulie said when he got the hometown decision against Ngoudjo

Diaz reminds me of overweight fighters in the HW division; he's always soft around the edges.
