    If it happened a majority of the time then yes. But I love the sport and as it stands now thankfully, it's rare enough to see an outright robbery.

    However, I think that judges who have failed utterly at their jobs should be instantly dismissed, like that ***** judge in the Lewis-Holyfield fight. Instantly dismissed.

      I'm very selective with the fights I watch, so I'm not an abused customer. Boxing is very much like pro wrestling when it comes to these pre-determined decisions. The bankable star is priority over integrity of legit competition. Then you have this Diamond, fake belt stuff. Just like wrestlecrap.

          Probably not but typically the fighters that are getting robbed are more unknown or not popular and that's why the majority of people don't care as much.

              No, i'll keep watching boxing so long as it doesn't turn into WWE.

              I wouldn't mind if they hired judges professionally and paid them to do the job correctly, and fired them if they messed up badly enough.

              I also wouldn't mind an investigative committee that would govern the entire sport so that anytime a promoter decided to do something like the Diaz Malignaggi fight there would be corruption charges brought up.

              Even then, boxing has always been a little shady. It will probably continue to be so.

                If it happened like every other fight or every fight I would stop watching. It wouldn't be a sport anymore, just entertainment. It would pretty much be WWF.

I don't think I will ever stop watching the sport of boxing, because I have a great passion for it, but is becoming like the WWE. its as if the judges already know who is going to win before the fight even starts. Sturm, De la hoya, Paulie, Lewis, marquez and Roy Jones(olympic) have all been victims of politics. Why cant the fights be won/lost fair and square????????? I can't belive that a great sport like boxing is being ***ed by *** head judges and promoters!
                  i would still watch boxing.
