Ban Boxing in the State of Texas

[Mars_ax]

Up until the 12 months or so I never thought of the commission, judges, refs here in Texas being all that bad. Hopefully with enough complaints boxing will get an overhaul here.

Aside from that, i'm sensing a hatred for Texas that has nothing to do with boxing, I mean fuck all of us who happen to live here.

Does Laurence Cole and his father still run the comission down there?

To be fair to Texas...I can't recall a bad decision outside of Houston in recent times. Feel free to fill me in if I missed any. Houston seems to be the problem Diaz-Malignaggi, Juarez-John, Molina-Kirkland and so on.

Lawrence is just a ref, but his dad Dickie runs the commission, and runs it badly I might add.


I remember last year when Sergio Mora fought Brian Vera there, they made Sergio wear another fighters used, sweat soaked gloves for the fight, but not local boy Vera. They told him if he didn't wear them he couldn't fight.

Scratch that...I forgot Cloud-Campillo happened in Corpus Christi.

Not sure where you're getting that from honestly.

What is so bad about Texas compared to other states?

It's not persay about the State of Texas, it's about the Texas boxing commission, and some bad decision by refs, and the judges scoring fights. There's been problems the last 12 months or so, you musta missed it.
