    Granados got ****ed in a way boxing hasn't seen since Floyd/Marquez
    Yes because Maweather promotions totally helped Badou Jack get decisions go his way didn't they?

      good time to bump this, considering steve weisfeld gave danny 2 of the first 9 rounds, which is absurd. Yes, how is steve weisfeld allowed to score an hbo ppv fight

            He's a joke of a judge and has been for a while. Time to breath new blood into judging, I'm sure there's plenty young judges out there that can score better than him & his peers.

                How could Steve Weisfeld's conflict of interest not have been OBVIOUS to the Ohio commission? And he unsurprisingly turns in a scorecard with the widest margin (7-3) for the Showtime fighter?

                Boxing doesnt even try to hide its corruption / incompetence anymore. And people wonder why its a fringe sport......
                Steve has also worked with HBO when "Jim I gotta tell ya" was not available

                  when I made the post about Weisfeld and Showtime, I had mixed Weisfeld up with Farhood. Weisfeld never actually worked for Showtime, so my critique after the Broner fight was unwarranted.

                  But the principle absolutely still stands, and tonite is a perfect example. Weisfeld should NOT have been judging tonites fight. An ex-HBO employee judging a fight involving one of HBOs top fighters??? On what planet is that a good look? The NYSAC should have known better.....

                    Jacobs could beat Cancer, but he couldn't beat the judges, another disgusting robbery in boxing. The fix was in.
