    This one gives me that same feeling of disgust about the entire business. Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz and Foreman vs Briggs also put me at the brink. It's almost like I am colluding in something that lacks a moral underbelly-- something that is innately tenuous at best and foul at worst. I think it's called a moral compass and mine just tiled to the wrong side again.
    The thing is there are no morals in boxing! your a winner or a looser simple the amount of fights which the decision has been a farce are beyond
    me there is a dark underbelly in boxing pity it ruins a great sport.

    Bad decisions happen in boxing and in a way it shows that if the A side fighter can lose a bad decision that everyone has a chance.

    BTW JMM won all his fights against Manny Pac.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I genuinely had JMM winning all the 3 fights that went to the judges.

    Just to keep you happy @walrus, Manny Pac was ahead before he was brutally knocked out in their 4th fight.

    They were good competitive fights but JMM won them all and one of the main reasons why they fought so often was because Manny Pac was awarded the fight controversially.

    i don't think JMM won them all and I don't think controversy was the reason for more fights £

    Just to keep you happy @walrus, Manny Pac was ahead before he was brutally knocked out in their 4th fight.
    If @Master included my name there beside @walrus, I'd forgive him. And if he sez Manny was robbed despite the KO, I'd make him the administration Master.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    Agreed.
