Comments Thread For: Sylvester-Karmazin in Controversial Draw, Brawl Erupts

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF middleweight champion Sebastian Sylvester (33-3-1, 16 KOs) retained his title moments ago in a heated fight against aging Russian veteran Roman Karmazin (40-3-2, 26 KOs) with a bizarre and controversial ending, which has in many ways superceded the fight itself. The official outcome of the fight is a split draw that helped the German boxer to save his belt and championship status. [Click Here To Read More]

What a strange day for boxing. I missed this fight and the Aydin-Jo Jo Dan fights but from what I've read, judging in worldwide boxing went down the ****ter today.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come tonight during Foreman-Cotto.

[Blue Heffner]

I wanted to see the fight but I'm glad I didn't get to. It pisses me off when fights aren't scored correctly. These type of things have been happening forever, I doubt if it'll change.

2/3 Disgraceful Robberies today, just waiting for Cotto to Hammer Foreman so they can hand Foreman the win.

The sport of Boxing has taken an 8 count today.

don't hold your breath...consider the religion of the undefeated champion and you can easy figure out the outcome of the fight...Cotto needs to KO Foreman to get a draw

what is the point of boxing anymore. all the hometown guy has to do is survive and they win. jo jo dan clearly beats aybum and gets robbed. prepare for berto-aybum on hbo! woot! this fight could be even better than berto-mickey rodriguez.

and karmazin should have won a close fight against sylvester but the judges were huffing glue and changing scorecards like they were finger painting.

[Mr. Philadel]

the fight was super close and that dude who was trying to take photos of the score cards got bum rushed ....I think they (the judges) did Karmazin dirty....he outworked Sylvester early and often....usually the workrate wins the close ones...but NOT in Germany

I had Roman winning 7 rounds to 5, but the scores were way off, i thought only the judge that had it 114-114 had it at least reasonable. They were taking way too much time to announce the decision which is the reason for shenanigans in Germany. The ghost of Ottke lives on in Germany, ref only gave one warning to Sylvester for rabbit punches,he averaged at least 3 per round.

damn man I saw that fight and I only gave sylvester like 3 to 4 rounds.I don't know what everybody saw but Karmazin out worked sylvester all the way.give the guy credit he's old .
