This was a robbery. The Haitian won the 1st and the 2nd rounds. Russel won the 3rd, but he should have lost.

I wouldn't call it a robbery, it was close.
They fought twice before, including the olympic trials a match in the pros would be fun.
Berto was sponsoring the kid.

Very true. But they can't have Russell and that other bum being the first two losses after a good 5-0 run.
Haymon needs another bum squad like the 2012 one to sign. He can't have them taking all the polish off of them already.

no one gives a crap about the Olympics or USA boxing team

Olympic boxing is a joke as no one in america cares for the olympics. air pistol shooting, horse riding, swimming, volleyball what a waste of time. Boxing is a joke also with all the ****** kids no one knows or cares about. what a waste of billions of dollars in a poor country that could use the money for hospitals and sewers. DUMB fricking really DUMB.
