Comments Thread For: Perpetually Optimistic Teddy Atlas Says Latest Reform Effort is 'Catching a Little Bit of Fire'

Well, Boxing's corrupt and it's not a fan friendly!

[57Blues]

Any change at this point is a must, regardless of how you feel about any particular result or any particular fight, there is a silent epidemic in this sport that the lesser known guy has to almost kill his opponent to win on the cards. Not saying it’s every case, just saying it shouldn’t be happening in any cases at all. Boxing with all of its ******** ties should’ve had harsher government oversight. Too many people have too many relationships with each other outside of the sport and there is zero ethical overview. We see favorable rankings by guys who baptize each others kids and ishhh like that. A fighter should be able to fight anywhere in the world and have the exact same judging anywhere they go. Who checks these judges finances, are there safe guards at casinos to prevent them from betting, Sulaiman and Mendoza and company have been on vacations with promoters families. There are too many ways to alter a result in this sport. We need more transparency and oversight, if not for the sport then for the ambitions and efforts of the fighters themselves who all deserve better.

Boxing answers to boxing ........................and only boxing

Where was this outcry when Golovkin was robbed against Canelo TWICE! Or Fury getting a draw vs Wilder in their first fight. Or Amanda Serrano clearly beating Katie Taylor in MSG?? GTFO man. Haney/Loma was an amazing fight that was razor thin. This is a joke

Yea I hear what you are saying, why now ? Who knows a cynical person might say to keep the subs up me i do not care so much as to the why anymore with boxing write ups. I did not listen to his pod sure it was interesting. The fan has the power in boxing but is too afraid to use there power. Boxing is about money only now, stay away from the fights and get there attention and hold to some changes. But most fans do not want to miss a fight much less 90 days worth of fights but beleive me it would get there attention and make them make changes. What would really happen is those in front of the boxing powers would get bought out with money and promises is my guess. Ha Ha Sell out to the highest number just like those in power now.

Oh please. Boxing hasn't been reformed from hundreds of other so-called robberies. I am 100%some 135lbs whining about not getting the belts, after admitting to taking rounds off, won't make a difference.

ESPN fired him for many reasons, and thankfully!

Thank goodness, that common sense shall always prevail. Nice Post!

Would someone please tell this clown to sit his ass down somewhere? He's making himself look a fool. He's upset because he didn't receive the outcome he wanted and now he wants to change all the rules.

These were 7-5 scorecards; Not 11-1 scorecards. This fake ass outrage is both repugnant and disgusting. He's only doing this because Loma is white. Had Loma won the fight; He wouldn't have done or said shit about the decision.

He just can't come to grips that "The Matrix" lost that's all and it really breaks his heart. Get over it! The judges got it right this time. The right man won!

I'm already fearful for Bud. Spence Is the A side. Bud is the older B side and the outsider in the sport. Hope that fight gets scored well if it goes to the cards.

I think deep down, Bud knows this and knows he has to at least get a knockdown or two to eek out a decision. Spence has been with Haymon/PBC long term, and a two fight deal won't make Bud an overnight favorite. For all of us who have watched boxing for decades, we know that favorites are not just at the sports book, there are favorites as to the boxing establishment or respective stakeholders at the moment. Not saying that the apple cart can't get upset, but it has to be done in a way that is clearly unexpected. I'm going to just enjoy the fight between the 36 minutes of action, because if and when it goes to the cards...oh boy.

Hilarious to read so much nonsense. At one point one just says enough is enough. Has nothing to do with race or all the bs some haney fanboys are claiming here
