    True. Though anyone watching a replay would have to be totally corrupt to not see Weeks was bought and paid for. Rolly was too terrible to even hit Barroso cleanly and make it appear anywhere near legit. Weeks was told, when Rolly starts throwing, you call it off. Incredibly obvious, especially when you look at the fact that Romero threw next to nothing all fight, and suddenly turned into Clubber Lang, lol. They probably told Weeks and Rolly the actually round and coordinated it.

    Boxing is what it is. You get that first fight, which was a thing of beauty. Then you get the last two debacles.

Pure insanity that this is allowed to happen week after week with no repercussions. That's what happens when you have a sport without any kind of real regulation or oversight, everybody can do whatever the **** they want without having to worry about consequences. Sport should have been disbanded immediately after Hagler/Hearns and gone out on a high note
      We're also getting fights every week, so it gives us a bigger sample size of questionable behavior. We just had the RCC card last week.

        Nothing.

        This fight happened because boxing is a business.

        Tank knocked Rolly out.

        That's it, really.

            Jack almost let a fighter die tonight. Terrible night from referees

              I give Barroso credit. Chronologically 40, biologically 60, and still whipped Rolly’s ass before the corruption landed.

                Yep, that card immediately came to mind. Two of the worst robberies by judges in history, followed the next week by one of the worst robberies by a ref in history. Boxing just keeps finding ways to one up itself and not in a good way

                  I've been watching boxing for a long time. That was possibly the worst stoppage I've ever seen. So bad that I logged back on to this website after like a year and a half away from it.

Only an idiot would drop money on a PPV fight. The **** is rigged anyway! Ole Spudz McKenzie looking ass Tony Weeks wouldn’t even show his face to comment on the stoppage!
                    Yeah that's how I saw tonite....But I won anyways. 3 more 2 go.

                      I'm not even sure it's corruption. I mean Tony Weeks is an awful referee now. He and Kenny Bayless should either retire or be demoted to club fights.
