This fight will shake Boxings foundations

[latinbrawler316]

lately? this ***** has been happening for decades in boxing.

i know but its happening way too much lately its like every other fight on hbo or showtime there is a robbery

Dont forget Lewis vs Evander 1. I actually lost money on that one. I actually have stopped betting on boxing because its to difficult to really win now. You have to calculate who you think will win and then calculate all the politics behind the judges.

You said it. It's just too much. You may as well put your money on the roulette table.

You guys act like this happens every other fight. Ya matthysse just got robbed to, but in reality they get it right 95% of the time. like usual everyone overreacts and creis for a day. tWo days for the real cry babies, and then everyone forgets and moves on to the next big fight.

its like the boy who cries wolf boxing fans cry robbery over every close fight that a fight like this and Kotlenik win over Alexander gets over looked ain't **** going to change

and I blame idiots who said Mattysse was robbed against Judah and Alexander for it

[joesaiditstrue]

stick to the ****ing topic, THIS fight was as big of a robbery as there ever has been in the last 10 years, and needs to be discussed for more than a couple ****ing days you ******

Well it won't, and no it really doesn't.

As bad of a decision this is I've seen worse. This will not shake Boxing to its foundation because its so down right now that its half expected at this point.

This post is perfect.


In No Ceilings' thread I called robbery right before the decision. I've seen worse robberies.. Remember the Guzman/Funeka robbery last year or year before? It is what it is and this fight will not affect the foundations of boxing. This will be forgotten just like the previously mentioned fight and everybody will be over this by next week.

I thought Mattysse won both fights, i can see where someone can see it the other way though. That being said, The scorecards for the fight tonight were a joke and a insult to the sport of boxing. If you cant see that i dunno.

And yet you run around wondering why people talk **** about boxing being bull****? When the sport has no credibility, it's foundations are being shaken. Consider yourself smarter now. Do you honestly believe Boxing in it's current state is nearly as popular as it was 20 years ago? It's got little to do with all of the belts/weight divisions. Boxing and Corruption go hand in hand, and now with the internet/social media, **** like this will start to rumble louder and for longer periods of time, whether you like it or not.

Robberies have happened way longer than the last 20 years. Sorry to bust your bubble, maybe you're new to boxing, but this WILL not shake the foundations of boxing. Are you ******ed? Yes, it sucks, yes something should be done, yes it's bad for the sport, but can you really say with a straight face that Paul Wiliams vs Erislandy Lara on HBO boxing after dark is going to change the foundations of boxing??

And no I don't run around wondering why people talk **** about boxing and that boxing is bull****. I know why and it's not just because of bad decisions. In fact the main problem in boxing is getting super fights put together and then living up to the hype when they finally are put together: ex: Haye vs Klitschko.. That was worse for boxing than a robbery on HBO.. And yes alot of it has to do with the excess weight divisions and meaningless titles. It's too much for the average sports fan to keep up with. Not to mention that the heavyweight division is lackluster. It's all these things. Not just robberies.

Again, I assure you that the foundations of boxing will not be effected by this fight. Sadly, this will all be forgotten soon and everyone will be back to being a "fan" when Khan and Zab square off.
