Comments Thread For: Stephen 'Breadman' Edwards: Judge's Scorecard Killed My Joy

[angkag]

What happened when you made this comment not long ago? I gave you a big list of corrupt decisions in the US and asked you to give me these supposed ones from the UK. What did you then do? You ran away and couldn't justify yourself.

Don't ever put us anywhere near to the extreme corruption that goes on in the US and has done for many decades. We're not even in the same realm here.

Not getting involved in the US vs Brit judges as there have been questionable calls both sides of the water. Reminds me of Hagler/Minter though where an English judge Harry Gibbs was selected for the Hagler/Leonard fight and the memory of the Minter fight had Hagler's side throw in a challenge to remove him saying 'no English judges'. So Gibbs was replaced by a judge who went on to give Leonard 10 of the 12 rounds. Meantime, back home in the UK, Gibbs had it for Hagler......

Nash knows, he just likes to play around like this. Still can't understand why Fury backed off Usyk when he was clearly hurt in Round 6.

Fury needs to stay on his front foot and stop the the showboating in this fight, as much as Nash loves that, his legacy depends on revenging this loss.

I felt Fury was only vulnerable against the ropes. Usyk is not a massive puncher, but he's so accurate, and Fury saw none of that punch, so took 100%,of its force, hence, how rocked he was. Of course Nash loves to call it a flash knockdown to wind a few here up. Nash out

I know Ib was just Bustin b a l ls. Fury usually has very good instincts about when to turn it on, you are right.

I don't think Garcia won more than two rounds. I remember thinking Garcia won the first round, other than that I think the 9th, like Bread said was a good round for him, but that's it. These judges need to explain themselves and be held accountable for bad judging like this.

Now now Sid-knee... Don't know if British judges are particularly good or bad but I do know you're British boxing council are the dolts that tried desperately to stop one of the best heavyweight brawls, wouldn't actually call it a fight, when chisora took on haye.

All those British bureauc**** and their stiff upper lip decided how immoral it was...the bad and threatening behavior of two men who get in a ring and smack each other for profit... And became determined to make sure this injustice did not perpetrate how silly!!!

Those wankers almost managed to stop what was, and remains a truly entertaining scrap a real treat for boxing fans who just want to watch a real blood and guts type forman and Lyle affair.

If the British council had their way? Chisora and Haye would have never became friends!

I had no problem with the board looking to stop the fight, considering. Although i was happy it went ahead. There has to be some form of responsibility. Not exactly a stain on them, is it?

As for the robberies... Well, we had another one last night with Nova clearly winning but getting jibbed. It's constant. As is Phase running away from me and not replying with anything of substance. In fact, he isn't replying at all. He knows the list i'll give him. He knows he can't come close to matching it either. But he still persists in saying that nonsense.

I think it was a stain on them. It was quite manly to settle differences in the ring, that was the purpose of boxing when the Marquis gave his approval to it. Prior to men killed themselves in these horrid confrontation (duels). It was like "sorry family but dad's gotta defend the family name, your uncle can help ma raise you!

Robberies suck... they destroy the sport. I wish there was something done about them.

So I'm assuming that Edwards has made an official complaint to the athletic board? Surely that's the procedure rather than just complaining via the press and "hoping" the board hold that judge to account?

[SUBZER0ED]

He said Garcia missed weight, the rehydration clause was probably his asking price for the fight to go on

That was the negotiation point for their team, since he missed the initial weight on weigh in.

By knowing what the hell you doing for your fighter and getting them to sign an agreement or else clause.

Ok, I see. I didn't realize Garcia missed weight.
