Whats the odds that they don't?
Re: JT,Porky and friends we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, one good thing that could come from this, is that they might order a immediate rematch, which wouldn't let Sauerland avoid Evander like he plans to. They can control what happens with their belt but they can't reverse the decision, I'm pretty sure.
Re: JT,Porky and friends we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:appl: Good work! It is just such a stupid thing for really really poor decisions in huge fights to be left to the 3 judges, and if they totally F it up, aren't left to answer for their poor judging... Or it's just left as "that's how they scored it"..
Good work for sending of your complaints as well.. Hopefully even if they don't turn around the decision, the judges have good explanation of how they scored it the way they did!
Finally judges are under a bit of scrutiny.. It's a tiny step in the right direction!!

Well done mate,you started the ball rolling.
Re: JT,Porky and friends we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if the decision ends up giving Holyfield his well-deserved victory then I guess he will finally retire with a big sigh of accomplishment. 5 time world champion. Well done Evander, hange those gloves proud, you achieved your goal finally and made history! :)
Re: JT,Porky and friends we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get too excited guys it won't change anything. The WBA were involved in the fix in the first place, they are just holding a meeting so they can say they reviewed it and the result stands.
The best that will happen realistically is that they force the winner of Valuev Chagaev to fight Evander in 2009 by which time he'll be about 47
