    Foreign boxers keep getting robbed on HBO!

    Cuban Erislandy Lara

    Argentian Lucas Matthysse (twice!)

    Ukrainian Andreas Kotelnik

    Argentinan Sergio Martinez

    Mexican Daniel Ponce De Leon

    German Sebastian Zbik

    Anybody else see a pattern here? Have you ever seen an American boxer robbed on HBO?

    Those poor guys needed a KO to win.

    Because HBO runs the athletic commissions and choose the judges for fights.

      I feel the worst for Kotelnik.. He has pretty much disappeared. Matthysse's style will get him more opportunities.

          No, it's more likely because the rich, crooked promoters and managers like Al Haymon (who are influential enough to get their fighters on HBO) PAY OFF the judges to favor their "investments" - in other words, their boxers.

              Fighters get robbed in every country

              Germany is just the most consistant and predictable

                That's not the right term for it.

                You're one of the few who thought Williams won the fight last night. That tells the rest of us that you're not a smart man.

                  Uh so. That has nothing to do with believing HBO pays off guys to fix fights.

                  Thinking that tells the rest of us you are a strange man.

                    I don't think Judah-Mathysse or Broner-Leon were robberies but last night surely was...and I deff thought Alexander lost to Mathysse...
