Cunningham vs. Ross and Karmazin vs. Sylvester: RBR and discussion thread

[Scott9945]

a judge had it 114-113 clearly for Karmazin but in IBF you can't give even a round complete robbery German idiots!

So you had it by just ONE point, and you're claiming robbery? Hopefully you were just being sarcastic.

Heard the brawl was because the russians were trying to take a picture of the scorecards, hahahahaha that was funny.

that was karmazin's manager that they had to "carry" away, guess he saw the terrible score card

horrible Decision in Ross vs. Cunningham

Wow, I am absolutely amazed. I watched that fight between Troy Ross vs. Steve "USS" Cunningham. I am amazed first off that after four rounds, the judges could actually have scored it a draw.

Troy Ross was in control of that whole fight. He was completely outboxing Cunningham, perhaps you might score one round a draw, but then in the fourth round, Troy Ross knocked Cunningham down. It was not a "FLASH" knockdown, it was clearly hard and on the chin. Ross started to proceed forward to take control and Cunningham throws a light punch and the replays all clearly show the thumb of Cunningham ripping the eyelid of Troy Ross. Ross immediately turned away as it was clearly a FOUL.

I can understand how the referee might not have seen this at first, but the replays clearly show this. The fight in reality should have gone to the scorecards, but now I'm reading above that the fight was a draw up to that point.

This is also su****ious as Steve "USS" Cunningham just signed a multifight deal with Sauerland. It is obvious whom they wanted to win this fight.

I believe Troy Ross should have a rematch and in the least if they do have a Cruiserweight Super Six, which would be extremely exciting, Troy Ross should be in it.

Having said that, the fight had to be stopped by the doctor at that point. That was a good decision as Troy Ross clearly could not see through his eye after having Cunninghams thumb rip right into it.

That doesn't mean you're scorecard is good though. I said your scorecards with Sylvester.

See I can't really blame RJJr. not wanting to fight abroad. The corruption is absolutely terrible and it's an accepted part of the game.

There's some terrible judges with terrible scorecards hear, but 117-111 one way and 118-110 another is insane.

Yes, it's not like there is corruption in USA or that european fighters have been robbed there, right?

[The Hammer]

Yes, it's not like there is corruption in USA or that european fighters have been robbed there, right?

The judge with the crazy scorecard 118-110 for Sylvester is an American, John Lawson.

Troy Ross should be the New IBF Champion - Scandal

I really couldn't believe what I saw yesterday in that Championship bout.

Troy Ross was clearly the better man, outboxing Cunningham and then when Ross moved in to further pressure him after knocking Cunningham down, Cunningham throws a lazy punch, where the thumb of Cunninghams glove gouged Ross' eye.

It was obviously a foul, intentional or not, it should have been deemed a foul and the fight should have gone to the score cards. I'm now hearing that the score cards showed that it was a draw up to that point, but that is impossible.

On my scorecard Troy Ross had won at least 3 of the 4 rounds and the fourth would have been a 10-8 round as Ross knocked Cunningham down.

This decision was very su****ious and wrong. It should be appealed.
