What ufc fights???

I have watched it since ufc 1, and have never thought any fight was fixed...

I don't think a lot of boxing is fixed but obviously Tim-manny 1, evander-lewis 1 andthe judge that gave canelo a draw vs floyd were all crooked..

Oscar-hopkins looked staged as well

I always thought dlh vs Hopkins looked funny too, most guys who take a liver shot don't start pounding their hands on the canvas & then the next week him & bhop r business partners & Hopkins never ko'd any1 ever again...

These are some of the famous very controversial and mischievous decisions by the judges, but there's a whole lottttttt more. In fact, too many to mention. This is all because they are still using a very subjective and outdated type of scoring system and is refusing technology to help make the scoring very easy and very accurate for them.

And that is why:

We now have the technology in our hands and this isn't 1800's anymore, change the scoring system and find a way to incorporate replay system with it; --every modern sports now have incorporated replay in their scoring system, why does the most dangerous sport in modern times, where every punch thrown can cause hematoma and death to human being still doesn't have the luxury of a truly accurate objective scoring system? Basketball has one now, Tennis has one now and a countless many other modern sports, and that's ridiculous because that's not so dangerous as boxing.

If they can find a way to incorporate a replay system, we could eliminate 99.9 percent of those controversial and cheating perceived decisions. It's only fair, because these guys lives are in peril in every damnnn time on every second of the fight; and sometimes, one fight alone can determine where the direction of their life is heading, because for most of them, there is no life after boxing, and it's too damnnn hard to live knowing that in your heart you had it, but they took it away from you unfairly. They deserve fairness more than ever period.

Replay would be hard, idk how it could be done, I think judges should be polygraph tested before & after prize fights...

I was at barrett-Rahman ringside in Chicago... I thought with their styles it would be a barn burner but it was the biggest crap fight ever

Sorry to hear that man lol - I bought that PPV thinking the same thing. And for Mayorga of course

[Dean_Razorback]

the promoter of this fight (the same guy that told bolonti to stay in the canvas vs pascal) said in an interview (a year ago i think) that it was him the one that pressured the time keeper to ring the bell with a minute to go.

Fighters taking a dive, phantom punches, bought refs (early stoppage), or just plain fishy outcome? Im not really looking for fishy judging unless its a rare circumstance judge call, not a reasonably close fight...

... kid, there are so many fights like those... don't you mind... "it's entertainment"...

Replay would be hard, idk how it could be done, I think judges should be polygraph tested before & after prize fights...

I suggest the following terms and conditions on how to apply for replay petition:


You cannot apply for Replay Petition if the fight ended in:

1. Knockout or Stoppage
2. Overwhelmingly one-sided fight and no one in the other camp protested (This must go hand in hand together, so that the judges or commission of boxing can't exploit a hole; wherein, they could make the fight appear so one-sided that it doesn't need for petition anymore.)

Otherwise, if factors above doesn't apply, then a fighter may apply for Replay Petition. I think the boxing commission may charge a hefty fee here as well which may cause a lot of arguments. sort of application fee.lol

*When a replay petition is initiated, public and betting business will have to wait for at least an hour while an independent designated officials are reviewing the fight. The result will be final and incontrovertible; no additional appeal can be accepted again.
