And they wonder why boxing is dead in America? They’ve destroyed it with corruption..

[R01]

MMA got popular because of boring fighters like Fury.

You must not like Floyd Mayweather

and people laughed at my poster saying I was anti-american

You know when there are clearly paid-off scores in the undercard bouts that the whole show has been compromised and officials are being "leaned on" back stage.

Which isn't hard seeing as boxing is ******uous and the promoters, judges, refs tend to be related through marriage.

So people start predicting that we will see a beyond-explanation scorecard in the main event that alters the result, protects the more connected fighter and sets up a "controversial rematch".

Almost every time they are correct.

But it will keep happening. Because the fans of the fighter who was protected will lash out at the "conspiracy theorists" and this is what the promoters count on. If everyone just agreed somethings up and walked away they'd go broke.

It's not just an American thing. Canada is really bad too as far as locally promoted, gang-affiliated fighters. The UK is only marginally better. And Russia? Well maybe the officiating isn't as bad but look at what happened to Denis Boystov when he tried to "stray the path".

Boxing just hasn't come very far in the past century. It's still extremely corrupt and you can still get thrown in front of a train for getting in the way of a plan.

Another black eye for American boxing. Embarrassing result and the judge who scored it to Wilder should be taken outside and shot! I've got to give credit to Fury, he didn't tire as early as I expected him to AND he was far from negative. The man boxed well and showed serious heart to get up from that final knockdown. 115-111 Fury.

I had it 115-111 as well. You are also very correct, corruption is the #1 cause for boxing's demise in America and it will continue to be corrupt until the sport is all but gone.

That's the classic Marxist/leftist retort to anything that exposes the truth about an issue..."conspiracy theory". Whenever you here that term tossed about by a large group when there is a growing population of evidence to the contrary, you know the conspiracy theorists are on the right path and those using the term are all in on the coverup effort.

horrible scores

there was only ONE bad card. The other 2 cards I have no problem with. 115-111 for Wilder was the only bad card

Because wilder was champion... It's part of boxing since the beginning.
I too had fury up by 1 rd for a SD but can see the draw because of the 2 knockdowns.
Neither boxer looked like they got beat up after.
And fury didn't completely outland wilder no matter what you believe.

What I've noticed here on this site is that people will watch a fight and just give rounds to whomever they want to win and then scream robbery when their favorite fighter doesn't win. How is every close fight a "robbery"? haha

It's not about what I believe, it's what the boxing world believes. The judges are getting panned and rightly so.
Fury had to win more rounds and stay on his feet, that's all, and he did both. Even with the KD's.

It's not and never has been. But last night's fight wasn't close.

When the world has its eyes on boxing it always leaves a bitter taste. I used to defend boxing but I can't anymore. This is why MMA is gaining an upperhand and we're losing fans.
