Anybody else sick of this sport?

One of the judges, Gale Van Hoy, scored Barrera-Pacquiao and as 1 sided as the fight was for Manny, Gale actually had Barrera winning more rounds than many of us would have imagined, prior to the stoppage.

How are those judges even be allowed to keep scoring fights? It's killing the sport.

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

Very true.

If those two judges were not paid to score the fight, then they must be blind and we're all ******. I mean, come on, give me a ****ing break. 116-111????????

don't like it? stop watching boxing then. controversy is part of boxing. live with it or **** off. or, alternatively, you could come tit about it in a thread like this, making you feel better.

resistance to seeds of social change to preserve the mantainance of the status quo are for those of an invevitable dying breed

I think the large numbers of recent 'robberies' is not only sad but ******. Here is a sport alot of people say is on the decline, competing with a sport on the rise (mma), and it just continues to happen.

Too many whinning people, wha, wha, wha, damn babys. Try rooting for more then just one fighter in boxing.

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.

I agree. I'm also sick of watching the very best fighters take only their must profitable options on fights. Wish we could go back to the days when the best fought the best for the fans and to prove themselves.

Where you been? Erik Morales started a trend a few years ago where he fights everybody and every tough opponet near his weight class, the trend is still going on today, 122-130 they fight whom ever. Also the 135 pound division is makeing great fights too. Other honerable mentions aswell.
