Cory- Very stupid comment. You should know your boxing BEFORE you speak!... Ike Quratey was the house boxer. He fights for Dibella (remember the same guy who has Jermain Taylor). Well, the whole reason this event was put on HBO was to make Dibella happy. Do you really think the judges working for Dibella on his HBO date would go against him because his fighter is from Ghana?? Trust me, Quartey was MUCH more the home town fighter in this bout than Forrest. Know your facts before you start bashing boxing in the USA.
(I agree the decision was bad, but has nothing to do with what you said. Wait, I am sure Dibella will have a lot to say about it also)
