Yet another foreign fighter was robbed in the US last night. Why do the public accept that the refs and the judges always protect and help US fighters against guest boxers?
Maybe guest boxers to the US should do like Jeff Lacy did when he fought in Europe – he brought his own ref!.....
:coolclick:
Sultan was robbed but thats just the politics of boxing. Lmao at the Lacy thing
who did sultan fight?
He fought Ray Austin, a real "big" (6' 6", 250 Lbs.) awkward dude. It was a draw, but I felt the Russian had the edge and stunned the giant three times; floored him once. A fair ESPN Friday night fight to watch; both would be KOed by Wladimir Klitschko or Nikolai Valuev. As a matter of fact, Samuel Peter could take both out. :-\Quote:

Ibrag is not going to meet his hype & that was no robbery.
Generally the US judges are more corrupt than the city of Newark under Mayor Sharp James
Please man there ar plenty of US fighters that have gotten the shaft in Europe, so stop your pissing and moaning...Quote:

So which is it? Does Warriors get the home town calls or do they not?
If anything this was a MUCH MUCH more important bout for Warrors. So if they are going to 'buy' a win, this would have been the one to get.
Sultan wasn't robbed. I think a draw is a fine outcome because neither of these guys should be fighting Wlad. However, if I was going to call someone the winner it would be Sultan.
Ray Austin may not be "awkward" but if someone calls him a speed fighter I'll eat my hat. What a sloth...
It was a draw. Cry me a river.
I agree, draw was a fair call.
Just proves that Warriors is not getting the home town decisions. This easily could have gone Sultan's way without much controversy.
What goes around comes around. This is just payback for those Europeans robbing Jeff Lacy of his hard earned win over Joe Calzaghe.Quote:

And this was hardly a blatent robbery, I had Sultan winning by a point but he is hardly "Mike Tyson, except technically a little better" like his boxing coach claimed. He's just a ugly flabby little Russian troll. Remember also that Austin should have gotten credit for TWO knockdowns, not just one. The fight was decent with some good spots but not great like Joe Tessitore was claimiing. Wasn't a bad robbery either. A draw saved em both from goin to the slaugher at the hands of a giant fairy(Wlad).
It wasn't robbery. It was just a case of Sultan showing how overrated he really was.Quote:
