Thread: Write the WBA to get the decision reversed.

Holyfield got robbed of being the only heavyweight to capture the Belt Five times. They took away his legacy with this horrid decision.

wbaven@wbaonline.com please write them an let your voice be heard.

I was going to post somthing similar.


The wba are IMO the worse of the so called big 4(wbc,ibf,wbo).

The are always more than happy to strip fighter of belts they have won in the ring and instal undeserving mandotary challengers.


Also this "super champion" idea is the most stupid and crazy idea I have ever heard of in boxing or any other sport.

Its a bit like South Africa being the "Super" rugby world champions and New Zealand being the regular champs.

No wonder Joe Public fing it hard to follow boxing.


Fuck the wba!

Thanks

I say what goes around comes around. Holyfield got his ass handed to him vs Lennox Lewis. the bout was ruled a draw. I gave Evander 2 rounds in that fight. Now he knows how it feels to be on the other end of a bull shit decision.

So what you saying is that Holyfield did deserve the nod, Thanks for the confirmation

He already found that out in fight no. 2 with Lewis!

After the unfortunate events at the weekend where a boxer was shamelessly robbed of the WBA title, measures need to be taken to ensure this doesnt happen again . I understand this wasnt your decision however it reflects badly on your organisation if nothing is done to correct this error. Suggestion - To reverse the decision or order an immediate rematch.

When I click on the link it says

sorry you must vote before you can view the results

The most powerful action that could be taken is for actual fighters to boycott the WBA and refuse to fight for any of it's belts or any of it's bouts... If you are fighting in an association where you train and fight your guts out, and clearly win a fight, but aren't gaurantee'd victory based on poor judging, then that should be reason enough to refuse to fight under that association...

If I was a fighter I would really have a problem with it..

Like I said in another thread also, the judges should be taken though a reaply of the fight round by round, and explain with conviction how and why they gave each round to the fighter that they did.. It's reasonable to say that occassionaly different judges may look for different things to award points for, especially in a close fight where each fighter has different characteristics..

But in a case where it's clear as mud to 99% of people associated with boxing that a fighter was robbed of an entire fight, there needs to be some sort of explanation.. Preferably publicly..


For it to just be totally ignored like "Oh well, they were the 3 appointed judges, and that's how they saw it, so that's it" it's just total bullshit.. Especially on the world stage in what is supposed to be a professional organisation.... It just can't be ignored... Why the fuck is it being ignored is the question ??!!!!

Any other major sporting body would have to answer for stuff like this... Almost immediately! But boxing just plays by a different set of rules... I can see why people who are deep in the game can get really frustrated with it..
