This guy's dlasses are thicker than coke bottles & he's reviewing it...he needs to get out of boxing & stick 2 the innacurate books he's written...he was a good jjudge, MANY years ago...

I don't understand why people think this bout was particularly controversial. Yes, it was stopped earlier than it should have been, and the referee should not have jumped in and seperated them when Taconing was attacking, but I think to call it a robbery is an ignorant and/or biased stretching of reality. At no point was Taconing dominating the fight and at least 3 of the rounds (1, 2 and 3) were close enough to be scored for Kompayak. I thought he won the first two clearly and even though he was being outworked at times, he was consistently landing the harder, better punches which should count for something in a close round. A lot of Taconing's punches were grazing blows and it didn't look at all to me like he was going to stop Kompayak if the fight had continued. I don't agree with that at all. In fact, towards the end of the 5th round Kompayak started hurting him. I hope there will be a rematch to end the so called "controversy" but in my opinion it is really not the neccessity that some people are making it out to be. I have seen far, far more controversial decisions than this that didn't receive this kind of backlash. It was close, yes, but not a robbery at all. Should there be a rematch? Probably, ideally there would be, but it shouldn't be considered a necessity.

And for a guy who scored the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight for De La Hoya to be the judge in all of this is every bit as if not more ridiculous than the people who are crying about it being a robbery. Why can't they just let the WBC supervisor review it? As apposed to someone with little to no credibility like Kaczmarek.
