    I'll give you Oquendo vs. Byrd. I thought Oquendo won, but then again, I only had it 115-113 for Oquendo, so that's hardly a robbery.

    Mayweather beat Castillo both times, and Williams beat Martinez. Sure, maybe the scorecards were off in those, but the right man won each time.

    You're going to have to do better than that to claim the U.S. is a corrupt place

        Has Whitaker/Ramirez 1 been brought up yet? That was a terrible decision. Those cowardly French should stick to handballing to win football games. :down:

              Interesting question. It depends how you view boxing, would you support US boxers or other US athletes at the Olympics? If so, you support them by default because they're American like you(?), then you should kind of understand why other nations support all their boxers, they're fighting not just for themselves but for their nation.

                  Just as an example, as much as I hated Chris Eubank I supported him against the Graciano Rochegiani as he was still one of us, i.e. a Briton. Most nations tend to operate this way in their support of boxers, the US for some reason tends not to.

                    The U.S is just as corrupt as everywhere else.

                      Cricket, Rugby, Soccer the list goes on. NATIONAL TEAMS. It's just that the US is not involved in these sports.
