    Anybody else sick of this sport?

    I know it's not far enough removed from the fight for something like this, but is anybody else's immediate reaction to this fight just sickness for the sport? I mean this is not like Hatton edging Collazo, Barrera eking out a win over Juarez, or the Taylor-Wright draw, which were all rightful decisions and close fights. Toney-Peter was not a close fight. Toney won 8 rounds and got an extra point for Peter's illegal tactics, which were out of frustration. Nobody has ever heard of any of the three judges from tonight. This was a robbery when Toney took a risk and deserved a win he badly needed. He is going to be robbed of becoming HW champion despite proving all of his doubters wrong. HE'S A FAT OLD MAN AND HE'S STILL THE BEST TECHNICAL HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE WORLD. He gets a raw deal because he's rude and obnoxious and the queezy fans of the sport can't take it nor can the promoters who don't control him. He took on what you guys said was the biggest puncher in the division, took his punches well, AND BEAT HIM IN EVERY ROUND BUT TWO OR THREE. This is just ****ing sickening to me right now. Oh but I'm sure some Peter fan/Toney hater out there can justify a scorecard for Peter and you know what? Screw them. Robbery on a big fight level = black eye on boxing.

      it's a shame because this sport lets you get to know the athletes up close and personal, no helmets or uniforms, but it's also just so corrupt. WHO ARE THOSE JUDGES????

          I agree man, and i picked PETER to win, but all i can say is this is BY FAR NOT THE LAST OF TONEY BY ANY MEANS!

            Close it may have been but Clearly won for James. This just makes me think of corruption. I wouldnt said robbed, Id said Fixed.

                im definetly sick of boxing. if u've lived and died by the sport as long as i have, then u have sat through some huge robberys. i was sick plenty of times before, but this was icing on the cake

                its a wierd feeling. almost like depression. U just cant look at it anymore. Hopefully this feeling wears off soon, but right now im really disgusted at what boxing has become.

                  Obviously I'm messed up by this or I would just go to bed. This is just wrong.

                    Ike gets robbed with Vernon Forrest and now James get robbed even worse (just for the fact it was on a bigger stage and wasnt two washed up bums). Its such a shame Boxing has this side.
