    It's crazy how commentary can sway people to see their bias.

    Everytime I go to watch parties almost always everyone is agreeing with what the commentators are saying and even with the unofficial score cards.

    Promoters know this so they are able to rob fighters without much backlash.

    Casuals are easily swayed but this site also proves that even the hardcore fans can be swayed. Maybe not as easily but still swayed to the point where "it was a close fight, it could have gone either way"
    Even if you saw with your own eyes the other fighter clearly winning.

    True, I was watching this fight and if I had just listened to Lennox Lewis, I would think Porter was making Ugas miss everything.

        I thought Porter was the only black American fighter you liked. If so, I'm glad you are being just and telling it like it is. That decision was criminal!

                  The Horn-Pacquiao fight is the best example of this. The Americans were screaming robbery and the rest of the world didn't know wtf they were talking about.

                    Not for the 1st time either. Seems to happen on most PBC cards these days.
