Juan Landaeta vs Koki Kameda
Did anyone watch this fight? I watched it live on TV here in Japan and I have to say...BULL&%$#! How in the world (Besides the obvious reason...$$$$ to the judges) did Kameda win this by split decision? The guy gets knocked down in the 1st round and had wobbly knees from 10th round on. With the exception of a few spurts, most of them landing on Landaeta's gloves, Kameda was throwing baby taps all match yet he wins??? I'm not a Landaeta fan nor do I dislike Kameda. I just wanted to watch a good fight with fair results. At this rate we might as well use figure skating judges to work boxing matches here on in. Pathetic, people, pathetic!!!!!

I also live in Japan and I recorded the fight to watch after work. All I have to say is: this decision is complete @!##!$% rubbish! I'm not a big Kameda fan (because of that stupid bad boy look on his face all the darn time). The only way to get an honest decision in Japan will be to take his head clean off. I've seen his last three 3 fights, including this one. This was his worst performance of the 3. I'm waiting for him to fight someone real tough.

Tell it to the Japanese media though. Everyone here thinks he's a hero. Some of my Japanese friends here are so embarrassed of how the fans and even the commentator reacted throughout the fight. And what's with Asashoryu climbing into the ring to lift Kameda up onto his shoulder? I'm surprised the Imperial family wasn't on hand to congratulate him. Give me a break!
