    Very true and IMO this further damages our sport.

    ''Oh he isn't a big draw so we will sweep it under the carpet''

    Sad reality is its getting worse and worse and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

      I hate this.... people only say boxing is dead when it happens in a high profile fight.... only time.
      When I saw all those people on twitter saying boxing is dead... I wanted to **** slap them

        This fight could have gone either way, unlike the Pac fight which was a clear domination. Not comparable.

          119-109.....119-109 is a card Adamek's family would make
          Do people see no problem with that?
          I said judge at the start of the damn thread.... judge... singular...
          come on people, at least read the first damn post.

            1 judge doesnt decide the winner

            Did you see the fight? THere was no way Adamek won twice as many rounds as Chambers

            All the scores were crap

              it's quite obvious the traditional 3 judges to score a fight is deeply flawed and something needs to change. I didn't need Pac-Bradley to tell me this, or the fucktard judge who had adamek winning 119-109, I've known this forever (I'm sure most everyone else has as well). Boxing needs an overhaul when it comes to scoring, my opinion is to simply have 7 or 11 judges. Since boxing is mostly subjective it would be in the sports interest to have a lot more judges, like figure skating which is also a subjective sport. Same goes for MMA.

                Cos Pac beat brad 10 rounds to 2 and lost a decision, didnt even get a draw.
                So not the same.

                Pac beat bradley more convincinly than Witaker beat Chavez, but at least witaker got a draw.

                  Yes, that judge was blind. Don't have a problem with the overall decision though.

                    It's one of the few aspects of boxing that hasn't evolved along with round duration.

                      I know that, but because the decision wasn't affected then the judge isn't punished?
                      That's a horrible card, why should judges only be punished when the outcome is?
                      I saw the fight, Eddie was getting it in the start till he hurt his hand.
                      I could see it being 116-112 because of the home crowd, Adameks activity and Eddies inactivity fighting with one hand.
