Accountability Thread

[El Kabong]

I would like to create this thread so that right here on this very forum we can hold boxers, trainers, promoters, and judges accountable for their actions in the sport, in the hopes that if we get the ball rolling on this we can make enough noise that the crooks and thieves are drummed out of boxing.

Let's come together and use this site to call judges on their horrible decisions, call for the banning of boxers that get caught with loaded wraps or taking banned substances or blatantly try to injure on opponent in a nonsporting way, call out trainers for dirty tactics and loading wraps. We don't have to go back very far in the past to whine and complain about horrible decisions, let's just start with 2012 and take it from there.

My first nominees for this thread are Duane Ford & C.J. Ross who scored the Bradley-Pacquiao fight 115-113 in favor of Bradley.

I'm not sure what a thread will accomplish, but it's better than doing nothing. Although I think a letter coming from this forum (Saddo?) and directed toward the boxing authorities might have more of an effect.

Nevertheless, I second the nomination, because I still believe the scoring by those two judges was either inept, corrupt, or both. Boxing judges need to start being held accountable by someone, since it doesn't seem like the frigging boxing organizations themselves are doing it.

Then again, maybe the letter from Saddoboxing ought to be directed at the Nevada State Boxing Commission.

This is after all a public forum, anyone can read this section so if we as boxing fans gather evidence and say some people are corrupt then perhaps we'll get some attention. We can also suggest changes boxing can make in order to improve.

Mustafa Scorecard Fiddler

I don't know his name, but the guy in the hat in the Khan fight is clearly dodgy.

I didn't realise until now, but Boxrec track all fights from judges.

I'm sure this will make interesting reading:


CJ Ross
C.J. Ross - Judge

Duane Ford
Duane Ford - Judge

Reading an article about Cooney v Holmes and Ford had Cooney winning the fight if it went to the scorecards. Which thankfully it did not if it was not for the point deductons.

James, I have already seen that website before flight I know it looks suspicious do you realise that those judges actually favoured Manny quite a few times in the past.
