The whole boxing system needs an overhaul. Out with senile judges-refs. True accountability for f/uck ups. Better defined rules for refs-judges, Use the tehcnology(cameras-microphones-replay).
Sport corruption is really just a reflection of our society. Mexican gyms still teach inside fighting because if you're the A-side, you're gonna be allowed to work the body(or even below). American gyms don't teach it because of their amateur system and the fact that judges like their fighters "flashy". In Germany, the home fighter gets all the advantages he wants, so they' can foul when they want but if it's done back to them, the opponent is gonna get chastisised(see Abraham-Ottke-Klitschko).
It's the same in every damn sport, the so called best get all the adavantages the system can provide...football and baseball get unlimited money to sign all the best, and all the ref calls. In handegg, the top teams get all the calls, in basketball, the stars get all the calls...and then the fans who have an agenda just turn a blind eye...how the **** can they be the best when they need every advantage?
I always say, watching Berto-Collazo and Berto-Urango or Berto-Forbes is a good example of how much of a difference the officiating makes.
Berto-Collazo
Collazo brings it to Berto. Ref is quick to deduct from Berto for excessive clinching, Berto has to grow as a fighter, dig deep and have a good performance in a fight of the year candidate, gets a questionable decision.
Berto-Urango/Forbes
Opponent brings it. Berto is allowed to clinch the smaller man all night long, wears them down with his clinches, subdues the trouble he had early thanks to the clinching, operates from his comfort zone, walks away with an easy decision that did nothing for his development as a fighter and left everyone bored to sleep.
The system is a joke.
