    You don't know the definition of "controversial" either?

    Do you remember when it happened?

    Online plenty (the majority) said Castillo won. KO even had a cover story (Ring Magazine basically) slamming the scoring. The polls and threads don't go back that far but if you were watching in 2002 you know that was highly controversial and most had Castillo.

        Ok but you'll ignore what the General and overall perception at that time was because you weren't t watching back?

        Was Chavez-Whitaker less controversial than Canelo-GGG? It's easier to find threads and stronger opinions on GGG-Canelo.

        I wasn't watching when Joe Louis defeated by Jersey Joe Walcott by controversial decision doesn't meant because I can't find multiple threads or a full list of media scores doesn't mean the perception was that Walcott wasn't robbed.

          Harold Lederman might be the only dude that scored that fight for Castillo

            Also funny Mayweather would barely have fans if Boxing rules were applied in the Judah fight when Roger entered the ring. Not saying it would have been a good call but it would have been the correct call and instead of having legions of "fans" that defend his every move and plead he's the goat he'd have next to no fans all because of a technicality.

              Every user name I tried was already taken, so I just thought of something random and meaningless - and Kafkod was it.

              I liked it and I've been using it on social media and forums ever since.

              A couple of years ago a friend of mine told me that a crazy guy at a gaming forum he joined had invented his own religion, with gods and goddesses, and the name of his god of wisdom was Kafkod.

              It might be just a coincidence, but I like to think this guy had seen some of the posts I made as Kafkod somewhere, and been so impressed with my wise words that he took my name and gave it to his god.

                You have a point there.

                But, if we are enforcing strict boxing rules, GGG should have a loss against Lemieux for hitting while down. I thought he should've been disqualified right away.

                I'm sure you agree.

                  That's not a defined rule it's a judgement call of the referee based on intent and the condition of the hurt fighter. Entering the ring is black and white.

                    Exactly. So the ref did the right thing in Floyd's case. He was beating the **** out of Zab, then Zab intentionally lowblowed him and hit him behind the head, hard-- two obvious, egregious fouls.

                    The ref should have deducted points from Zab or disqualified him, but after Roger got in the ring, the ref used his power of discretion to balance out the situation, and continue the fight.

                    Same with GGG-Lemieux, Ward-Kovalev 2, and other fights.

                    Bottom line: Referee discretion in all cases.
