Teddy Atlas is the most powerful man in the world, he brainwashed EVERYBODY lmfao, even all these fighters lol, only h0mosexual here was immune to the brainwashing

Absolutely ridiculous. Plenty of the media have closer relationships with certain promoters and fighters depending on who gives them more access and time.

They're just as biased as anybody.

I post a lengthy list of actual people in the sport who scored it for Pacquiao, you post a meme over and over and over.

I rest my case.

Whenever someone says "it's best to believe the media" in any context or situation, you know it's the complete opposite.

I never believe the media because the media is always propaganda. Nice try though and I'm sure some of the sheep will believe this propaganda piece.

There are hardly any knock outs at the top level in boxing because fighters don't care about taking any risks and are able to clinch at will without a point deduction.

Broner just fought to not get knocked out.

Ward was only able to stop Kova because of the excessive low blows - in fact the last shot he landed was a low blow...

GGG v. Canelo will not even have a knock down and I wouldn't be shocked if the judge's rob GGG.

Self-preservation...

Hometown advantage, the judges wanted to get out of the stadium alive!☠️☠️☠️

I wouldn't want Steve Kim scoring fights.

"For the record, I believe most judges on all levels are excellent. They know their craft. They pay careful attention. And there's not a hint of impropriety in the way they do things."

Obviously the judges in Toledo for the last Easter fight don't fall under "most judges". Ward-Kov 1 - all three judges scoring round ten for Ward when virtually all fans and writers had it for Kovalev? Pac-Horn fight?

I think judges should be scored by the media. Bad judging should be criticised. Continual bad judging and bad refereeing for that matter should be shamed.

That's a laughable suggestion. Members of the media are so biased and probably more prone to pick favorites than the average fan. The author's mentioning of the Horn fight proves my point. Horn outworked that little midget, but because the writers are so blinded by their love for Manny they all picked him. Best to keep these pencil neck f@gs from deciding the outcome of any fights, let alone title fights.

You sir are speaking TRUTH. Media's are the ones who manipulate the fans. Plus commentators like jim lampley, harold ledderman & promoters like bob arum.
