Comments Thread For: British Board Tackling Issue of Foreign Fighters Falsifying Records

[Sparked_26]

Nevermind the fighters falsifying records. How about judges, refs, promoters and commissions ?

I've definitely seen Danny Garcia lose twice but somehow still has a 0 on his record. Not just him of course, just an example.

The whole game needs investigating. It's rotten to the core really.

Yeah it is the doubt that hurts the sport.

I was honestly relieved that Vargas got the decision against Gavin McDonnell. And McDonnell won 3 rounds at best. And still one of the judges called it a draw.

McDonnell was game but come on....

Lots of corruption in Eastern Europe, apparently.

This happens in South America and Asia too. You think those Argentinian and Thai BoxRec records are all legit?

The WBA recently accused one of those big Chinese heavyweights of fabricating fights too

That fight was never in a million years being called to Mcdonnell even with Ian John-Lewis and his funky eyes that only see british punches land.

That wasnt a fix so much as him being a ****e judge easily influenced by crowd, as much as what said by Hearn afterwards because he had Mcdonell winning max 4 rounds.

Garcia however just as an example.. thats a whooooooole new level of bull****. Winning by 4 rounds against Herrera? GTFOH

The complete failure of a single scorecard to go to Peterson? GTFOH

I do remember seeing that Georgian heavyweight fight Chisora and Whyte, lol.

Unreal, he may literally have been a bum off the street.

True! I bet Hearn won't want him judging any fights soon.

You absolutely can't have dodgy decisions going in at this point because boxing is flying and we need the best fighters to be willing to travel. We've been alright over here really but now and again you just think...f.ucking hell.

No doubt, it happens elsewhere too.

LOL i love this little snippet from the WBC's own rules and regulations.

Elimination Bouts. The WBC may order one or more qualifying or elimination bouts and tournaments to determine ratings and to select the boxers that will compete in a final elimination bout to designate an official mandatory challenger. Therefore, elimination bouts do not necessarily result in the designation of an official mandatory challenger, and the winner of an elimination bout does not become mandatory challenger, unless such bout
has been sanctioned by the WBC explicitly as a “final elimination” bout.

Only the winner of a final elimination bout shall become a mandatory challenger, and shall
be subject to the provisions of these Rules & Regulations and such additional conditions
and exceptions as may be imposed by the WBC in its discretion on a case-by-case basis.

Unless you are a Don King fighter.
