Will GBP Be Good For The Future Of Boxing?
One thing is certain. Golden Boy Promotions is going to be a big force in boxing for years to come. I have a tremendous amount of respect for De La Hoya and his accomplishments as he is one of my favorite fighters, but so do many other people. Including judges. In light of recent scoring of fights involving GBP fighters you have to wonder, maybe judges are being bribed or maybe they are blinded because they are under the Golden Boy spell. I will honestly admit when I watch a fighter I like I have given him the very close rounds from time to time. Judges in the Casamayor-Santa Cruz fight and the Steve Forbes-Demetrius Hopkins fight scored incorrectly. That is a fact. But there is a reason that they scored that way other than what their eyes saw. That is also a fact. This may be the problem of having a boxing icon promote a stable of fighters. I hope I am wrong because GBP has the potential to do great things for fighters.
