The James Toney Sam Peter I fight was the turning point for me.... in terms of trusting most judges.
(I suppose I'm a James Toney fan maybe.... I like the fat guy. )

I believe it's deeply ingrained in the professional sport of boxing... these judging issues brought up by El Gamo.

If your old and use skills and will... and the young guy uses rugged fighting and messy yet energetic pressure... he will always have more energy than the older guy... so the judges favor "energy" over "boxing."
... the judges these days always want to reward the violent guy.... thinking they are helping boxing by not rewarding the supposedly boring guy. But when it comes down to it... combinations, clean hard punches, consistent work, and damaging punches.... compared to "just pressure fighting" with less clean punches and catching punches...... ... they are actuallly rewarding the boring guy. haha
dumb judges. They even score pitter pats... thinking that they are rewarding the guy who works and is "more exciting." Lemme get this straight, cold hard punches are exciting, not pitter pats.

And a beautiful three clean punch combination is worth more than one "crowd pleasing" power punch. Unless the crowd pleasing punch hurts somebody.

I just don't pay attention to records as much these days. Because losses can be wins, bad judging is prevalent.
And if I do pay attention to records, I want them to break them. Out with the old and in with the new
I wanted Valuev to beat Marciano's record.
