Corruption does exist but I don't think its the reason for every bad decision. There's a lot of general **** that has gone on in boxing for years like close/even rounds go to the champion/home/in house fighter or a fighter that falls behind is given sympathy rounds because he did better than he did in the previous rounds.
Often what you see is a fighter that builds a lead start to coast because he thinks he built up a big enough lead. This has proven not to work over and over again.
No sympathy in boxing - that's some BS.....

Malik won that fight 7-3 on my scorecard but I'm not exactly outraged. Listen, Scott was clearly the more schooled fighter, his punches were quicker, he landed the cleaner shots, he was rangy and his defense was pretty solid. However, he shouldve been taking the fight to Glavoz and busting him up. Scott has all the tools and weapons to hurt a guy like Glazy but he lacked the mental fortitude to press the fight. I can't stand that in some fighters - go out there and put the hurt on your opponent not bicycle around and merely outbox.
He should have really let them hands go & knocked Glazkov out. No excuses - he even said it himself in the interview.....

Tell someone who cares, oh no one does? Take the money from your purse and buy a horse, move into the mountains, stop bothering people. Scott is insufferable to watch. He might have won, but that was the zenith of his career last night. No one is going to give a 0 action fighter like him a chance. He's impossible to look good against, but won't dominate either. Exactly the kind of guy who is going to have to find another line of work. If he was entertaining, id be outraged, but I hope he fades into oblivion.
