Comments Thread For: Roach Hopes Postol Gets "A Fair Shake" From Referee, Judges

[r1onnie2]

How is it B.S. exactly?
Bias does exist in favour of American athletes are you willing to deny that I mean me as a Brit I can even stand up and admit plenty of times we've gave unfair scores to our home fighter that didn't deserve it.
Terence Crawford has his 0, he is American and he has a good amateur record similar to Andre Ward and we all know how lenient the referee was when Ward clinched and headbutted his way to a disgraceful win over Kessler.

Bad decisions happen all the time no matter what country your from or what your record is. Example, Paul Williams for Eslandry Lara was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen but it's boxing, it happens. What I'm saying about Roach is that he's always talking about his fighter getting a fair shake. When some of his fighters have gotten the W when they shouldn't have. All I'm saying is stop whining and whatever happens just happens.

No doubt about it, the officials will do all they can to help Crawford win in his home country.

It's bullshiet because his fighter (Postol) just won the title by clinchin non-stop for the first 6 rounds.

He should shut the **** up. I hope he gets points deductions this time. WTF is this? crying on advance to have his fighter clinch with no warning? Just because Mayweather and Wlad could do it it means it's right? no, it's not right.

For some reason I'm not getting that vibe from this fight. I feel like I should expect some shady judging, but I don't.

Wouldn't be surprised it happens a lot in the US and If the Kovalev fight with Ward fight is close you can bet your ass off that Ward will get a wide decision victory.

Remember the Ricky Burns fight with Figueroa there are so many damn awful examples of bad bias and fixing in the sport, Postol will need to go for the kill.

That's why Ward just narrowly won on the cards versus Froch even though he won nearly every round, right ?

He didn't win nearly every round, you don't win rounds by cuddling someone.
