    Default Only in America!

    Only in America are you sure to get at least one bad decision on every fight card.
    It's like a reality show, "Who's Getting Screwed Tonight?".
    The same thing keeps happening over and over but it seems like the only people who really care are the fans.
    I don't see things changing anytime soon. Do you?

    No. Its the biggest detraction from boxing, the dirty politics and mob rule of boxing with terribly corrupt decisions.

    We hate them. We keep track of them. We sign petitions, but what else can we do ?

    What else could we do?

    How does boxing make money? By people paying to watch it.

    People could boycott the matches and not buy tickets of pay per views.

    That is the only possible way shitty decisions will ever be stopped. Boxing is run by greedy vultures they are never going to have a change of conscience they need to be hit where it hurts. Won't happen in our lifetime, society we all live in today has no back bone.

    thing is, half the results that people complain about arent really bad decisions, at least a percentage of people believe them to be right

    pac marquez 3 was a classic example of a decision a lot of people were upset about yet a good percentage agreed

    where would you start?

    Well, maybe some who could be bothered, possibly fightscorecollector, compile a list of fights that are supposedly robberies and find common denominators like judges, refs, sanctioning bodies, promoters, countires etc and then do something with info?

    Yes, thats the obvious answer and what my Dad thinks should happen in an IDEAL WORLD.

    But in the real world we both know that the rabid hardcore boxing fans are never going to stop watching all boxing in unison and boycott it.

    Also, boycotting boxing would prevent the hard working fighters from getting paid their just due.

    I've tried and always lose the battle of not watching.

    The only thing we can do is keep gathering information on judges involved in bad decisions.

    When we have enough information to show a pattern of incompetence, or a pattern of incompetence biased towards a specific party then we can start yelling foul.
