How many more bad decisions till we take a stand??

A fight that we should look at is the Charlo-Tony Harrison fight. The judges scored the fight correctly and the right guy won. This fight is the only fight that I ever saw the challenger get the nod over a A side fighter being a close fight.
Other than that it’s fair to say that boxing has the worst fans of all sports. This poster wants change and a bunch of people just rag on him.Comment

Boxing fans are too immature, racist, nationalist, and obsessed to ever backlash against bad decisions in any meaningful way. No one actually gives a ****. The fighters don't care unless they are the one robbed, the managers don't care, the promoters don't care, none of the alphabet organizations care. The fans should care, but they're too busy sucking off whatever fighters they like or hating on whatever fighters they don't to care like they should.
Boxing is irreparably ****ed.Comment

I can’t imagine a tennis fan who likes Roger Federer tell a Rafeal Nadal fan all this racist and nationalistic crap haha

the mistake you are making is thinking people care. as long as the fighter who gets the decision fits an agenda, people dont care. look at wilder/fury, theres was a hell of a lot of 'fans' on here justifying that robbery. same as the pacquiao/horn one, kovalev/ward, ggg/canelo. the barbershop conversation presenter as good as said to andre ward we knew you got a gift in kovalev 1 but we defended you nd denied it because you were black. but its not just black fans, it everyone doing it with their fave fighters. As long as the fighter people want to win 'wins' and someone gets robbed and its an opportunity to say theyve been exposed, people dont care.Last edited by Madison Boxing; 03-11-2019, 05:29 PM.Comment

if people have their heads in the sand nothing gets done, people have been saying this for years, its only when its so obvious v fighters u like that u actually start noticing how bad it really is, people dont see robberies if they want the loser to lose or see it as a personal attack for whatever reason, on their country for exampleComment

The bad decisions take their toll man, and it gets demoralising, sure, but I just wanna say that in some ways it is more de****able when bad decisions happen at the amateur level, and especially when it happens to kids. Moreover, the fact that bad decisions happen at all levels of the sport indicates to me that the problem is SYSTEMIC. It makes some sort of sense that big-money fights have lopsided scorecards, but when you see hometown cooking at some tiny show, well that's when it really hurts
I like the idea of 'name&shame', I think social media could be a tool for good in this case, but just so long as there is also room to recognise the officials that do their job well. For all the talk of bad officiating, we would do well to remember that most officials (I would hope) are in the sport primarily because they love boxingComment

We all need to come togather for the sport we love and show these corrupt motha****as we ain’t standing for it no more! These fighters lay their lives on the line and the sport needs to grow some damn integrity
I’m suggesting we go to press confrencess mocking judges, officials, commissions, stop showing up to live events and if we do we cuss out judges from the rip. We also need to push a qualified judge job search I wouldn’t get hired in any field if I never done it but these judges never boxed and get to judge a fight it’s insanity.
Bottom line The only way we solve this problem is if we all come togather.
You'll still be here after the next 20 robberies that happen on US soil. And the next 20 after that as well.Comment

Check the history of corruption in the US then get back to me. It's been going on since the beginning of the new era when the queensbury rules were brought in. This is nothing new.
