LAS VEGAS - Chris Colbert wasn't sure who Jimmy Lennon Jr. would announce as the winner Saturday night.

If fighters like this, like Tim Bradley, Andre Ward, Canelo, etc admit that it just wasn't their night and that the judges got it wrong, maybe things would begin to change. The rematch between SRL and Tommy Hearns was clearly won by Hearns, but the judges scored it a draw. I applaud SRL for admitting that Hearns won. More fighters should do this. Maybe it will embarrass judges into scoring the right way if they are being called out by the loser they gave the decision to.

Sometimes it’s just better not to speak. Someone needs to advise Colbert this is one of those instances

They're not doing Colbert any favors. How many fights is he going to win like that? He got lit up like a Christmas tree. He looked like a pin ball getting bounced around. Tap tap boing.
