Comments Thread For: Photo: Chavez Jr. vs. Vera Official Scorecards

[turnedup]

Might as well watch boxing these days like we used to watch the WWE back in the day..hoping the right man wins but knowing its pre-determined.

Carla Caiz was bought and paid for, she obviously thought she was giving Chavez the first four then had to make up for it and give the rest to Chavez..No way in hell did Chavez do anything to win the 8th.

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!

...or 9th or 10th.

6-4 Vera...Chavez had his eyes swollen and face cut at the end and knew he lost...that's why he was bitching so much after the fight.

Some rounds you can argue because Chavez would lose most of the round then would land a big shot here and there, but the 8th round I thought was the clearest of the fight for Vera.

That's like Eugenia Williams giving Holyfield Round 5 against Lewis I.

You know what's fuct up? Is that these people get PAID to score these fights. Paid! If I got paid you better bet I would get the score as right as possible!!

The problem is most these guys are old and have been buddies with the promoters for ions. It's a tight nit group where you scratch my back and slip you an envelope or help your kid get into that college he wants.

It's not about the promoter, it's about the networks. They (Judges) know they are less likely to get selected for televised fights if they don't mostly favor the star out of the two boxers. Whoever is likely to have the bigger future is who from the start gets favored. Keep in mind these judges get flown to the events, put up in insane suites, get all expenses covered and it's a side job for them..so it's a vacation you are also getting paid for.

It's all connected.

Promoters,Networks,Sanctioning bodies. Different fingers same hand.

There's no way in hell Chavez gets 8th,9th,10th unless Carla accidentally scored the first 4 for Vera.

Reminds me of a judge giving DLH the last round against Trinidad because he was giving Trinidad so many rounds early that his card would look fishy since Trinidad didn't do anything in the early rounds.

It's like she didn't even watch the fight. Gave Vera all the rounds she was going to give him early, right at the start. To get them out of the way.

Then just filled in Chavez Jr the rest of the way.

Quite frankly I agree with both. It's a problem that will unfortunately never be fixed.
