Ok explain it to me, if it was a fix, who fixed it and why?

[chip]

Does anyone know when this fight will be highlighted on t.v? because i did'nt get to see it and im itching to see it for myself!

Anyhow i bet there was a fix between the bookmakers and judges!I mean Evander was the clear underdog of 5/1 to win this fight and surely a hell of a lot of people backed him at that really good price considering its on a "two horse race bet"and obviousley the bookmakers would have lost a great great amount of ££££££££s if Evander did cause a upset!Its happened before and still goes on in every sport possible!For instance when the Welterweights PRIZEFIGHTER tournament kicked off not soo long ago,i backed Nigel Wright to win it at a great price of 4/1.And he concreted this chances throughout the tournament by winning the quarters,and semmies until the fooking 3 ringside judges said overwise and stopped with going throw to the final and awarding his opponant "Lomax" to the final instead!!
It was a 110% fix NO DOUGHT!!Apparently Wright appealed to the boxing control but im not too sure how far he got in proving this obvious point in that he was robbed!!!!


It knocks me sick!

I saw it the same we are friends of Nigel promoter and i have heard nothing about the appeal but that to me was a biggest fix of the year it was so clear! As soon as Gus comes over and i find out i will let you know.

Im really glad that someone seen it the way it trully was in the Lomax vs Wright fight in the semmie of the PRIZEFIGHTER welterweights!!I totally agree that i've never seen a obvious clearly won fight get scored sooo wrong!Wright won easily against Lomax and he would of most proberly won in the final too.I backed him at 4/1 knowning that'll he at least get in the final,but i was well pissed off when he was robbed as he was!!Pure joke that!!


P.S i used to work for Gus and couple of years ago.I was shown around his local boxing gym and i joined his work force in the buliding trade.He has a canny decent stable of boxers.I've always felt sorry for Nigel Wright.He's had a few really crappy decisions likjke that in boxing.He's a really great boxers too!!Shame really

Nice one!His building buisness and boxing gym is only down the road from where i live.I worked for him for 3or4 years!Aye mate,its a really small world!

I think one possible reason for the fix may be that the WBA are trying to ensure that Evander never fights again. Remember a lot of us were complaining before hand about who would let him fight again, and I think that either they or the wider boxing commission fraternity is trying to retire him for his own safety. It ain't 24, but that's the only reason I can see, because Valuev is not worth enough to the sport to score it for him, as opposed to cases like ODLH-Sturm

Don King needs to hold on to his last champ at any cost.

In retrospect, the best thing that could've happened to Holyfield would've been getting KTFO'ed by Valuev. Sounds strange, but it would've probably been the only way for Holyfield to finally get the message that he should be doing something else other than boxing at the ripe old age of 46. Now he goes on thinking he's championship material, and he's going to get a rude awakening. I'd hate to see him end up like Ali.
