    Boxing has been this way forever. Nothing is going to change, certainly not when there are suckers like us to make money off of.

    This is why our sport is regarded as a joke outside of the hardcore circle. It's such a turnoff to see things like this and it happens way too often. It drives people away.

    I know that boxing has always been like this, but I don't remember it happening this often (it's been almost all the big fights!).

    You should add the Williams/Lara and Sturm/Macklin decisions to the list.

    And also all the PED insults and accusations thrown around nowadays.

    there have been a few dodgy decisions at british level too

    smith simpson, that commonwealth light middleweight fight (cant remember the fellas name), dallas v page

    thing is you get some dodgy ones and i cant understand why they have made it that way

    smith simpson for example, why give it smith twice even? simpson was on the verge of a world title and was robbed by smith on both occasions, clearly won both fights

    i cant see how a smith win helped anyone in any way appart from smith

    I'm getting pig sick of these decisions. One day I will just walk away.

    We cannot keep getting screwed all the time. It's just not right.

    Yes, poor refs and poor judges. Boxing needs to get rid of the dinosaurs.

    I believe it's getting worse with giant sums of money at stake in the casinos and more corporate propaganda fueling fights. The high profile fights like never rigged to this extent in the recent Leonard/Hearns/Haggler/Duran era.

    People say that boxing is dying because of the recent pimping of glamorized MMA/UFC, but in days past I could never see how the sweet science could be lost to a recent cagefighting fad... then I remember how boxing is killing itself with a ridiculous host of governing bodies and corporate fraud and aggrandizement. Pity for such a beautiful and honed sport to be lost to greed.
