Comments Thread For: McGirt: If Kovalev Gets Robbed, Whole World Will See It

[Curtis Harper]

If it goes the distance, haters will cry ''ROBBED'' and ''FIXED'' even if it was earned. Boxers have to go out and win every round convincingly or risk losing it.

The whole world has seen countless robberies and it's not made a blind bit of difference to the official result; Canelo-GGG (definately 1, if not 2), Canelo-Lara, Wilder-Fury, Pac-Horn, Kovalev-Ward 1, Lewis-Holyfield 1, Foreman-Briggs, DLH-Trinidad, JCC Snr-Whitaker, Bradley-Pac 1,Pac-Marquez 3, Ottke-Reid, DLH-Sturm, Sturm-Macklin, Abraham-Smith 1, Burns-Relikh, McDonnell-Solis 1........ and that's just with a few minute of thought on fights during my time. Older fans of the sport and true boxing historians would be able to provide countless more.
Unless there is an official system of inquiry and punishment brought in for judges, then unfortunately we will continue to see robberies for as long as money talks.

The fix is so easy....the technology is out there. Each judge goes into a separate room with a big assed monitor, that shows all the angles and replays. Pause and rewind buttons. NO SOUND. That room is of course mic'd for sound and with video cams.

Judges cry about not having the best viewing angles, well..........

Some sort of video-replay ref is involved in almost every other top international sport, the answer seems obvious to us as fans.
But will Promoters and Sanctioning Body's ever agree on and implement a system that may disadvantage their favourite cash-cows?

this is why kovalev is such a big underdog. he needs an absolute KO to win. I wouldn't even be surprised if kovalev somehow gets dq'ed for ko'ing canelo.

To beat Nelo u gotta win by “Two”

Boxing is slowly trying to join the rest of us in the 21st century. Right now they are in the 19th.

Well Kovalev has to focus on his defense so that he makes it to the scorecards.

I think this is the reason why Canelo was hated, because there are judges who is helping him to get a win he doesnt deserve. It also doesnt help that he believes he really did win and made him feel a diva at times (Caneloweight, remember).

Granted he really is a warrior, fighting anyone.

[DuckAdonis]

Is there already an assigned ref or judge?



Man, imagine Tony Weeks and Adalaide Byrd getting that call.

I'm not even Joking, Tony Weeks was considered an option for this fight... seriously. But Kov's team protested so they gave them an even worse ref: Russell Mora. The one who allowed Mares to lowblow Agbeko all night.

Every fighter who was gifted a win feel they won that fight. Every last one of them
