Originally posted by ferocityForget to add about the "feeling sick of this sport" if you feel that way then im calling you a newbie to boxing. **** happens, this is boxing, emotions can get involved when viewing a fight and when scoring a fight or course also corruption but this fight imo, has no corruption or fixed title.
The fight was fought at a slow pace, a pace that Toney set up, but Peters was still their exchanging punchs. This was a close fight. Both fighters are warriors but somone has to lose. I hate to hear somone say they are sick of this sport based on a decision, as if they've never seen close fights before.Comment

If you think Boxing doesnt have corruption in it, your a "newbie" fan, its buisness, corruption comes along with it.Comment

Originally posted by neils7147933It's unfortunate that fights of this magnitude end in controversy. I didn't think that there was a clear winner tonight where you could cry robbery. Boxing's not a sport where you can go into "overtime" or a sport where they make the scoring public, so people get disappointed and upset when the final result goes against what they thought they saw during the event...
Exactlly!
I would love to see 15 rounds again, few fighters would be able to last 15 tough rounds. If not at least enforce 15 rounds in a rematch, this should be the standerd!Comment

I just think the title doesn't fight this fight.Comment

Originally posted by ferocityThats too much, it was a close fight. I was rooting for Toney felt he won. But Peters made it a close fight in every round. Especially the early rounds and the later rounds he stold some round in the last minute. I gave Peters the last round, though Toney tried to steal it at the end. But he just was too relaxed in the last round and didnt throw enough punchs to give him the round. Over all the fight was close. I think if Toney would have won the last round their would have been a bigger case for him winning the fight. But i wouldn't go as far as calling it corrupt or fixed.
it looked closed to some cuz peter would try to steal round by throwing bunch of punches but none of them were landing. I know cuz i was there live.... not front row but closeComment
