Don't ever fight in Texas, 118-110 WTF?!?!?!?

[edc]

The Great State of Texas should apologize to Mr. Malignaggi. Makes the state, HBO, and boxing look bad bad bad. Just for the book I pulled for DIAZ but he sure got the *&^% beat out of him last night. All of you who have it close are from Texas, HBO, or Golden Flow! Even HBO was in on this one... I am glad winners are decided by the market these days according to HBO - crap I thought it was about the fighters... Just have to know your market I guess! This kind of crap is OK for Washington but for Boxing? I say NO - this one need to be investigated and turned around.

EDC-
I sent email to the Texas License Board regarding the blatant judging of the Diaz vs Malignaggi bout. It was a miscarriage of justice...so much so, that I joined this forum and stepped up to the plate for Mr.Malignaggi, and I am a Native Texan living in Texas. Most Texans root for the home team, but this was a slap in the face to every Boxing fan around the World. Texas Politics beat Mr. Malignaggi, NOT Mr Diaz. Am glad Mr. Malignaggi said something after the fight, and though I do not agree with the foul language, he was correct in his assessment. A Texan who agrees 100% with a non-Texan, who was fighting someone who lives in Texas? WOW! GB has tarnished the sport and already had the other fight lined-up before this one was done...money talks. Most fighters indicate their team will be making decisions, but Mr Diaz already indicated who he wanted to fight, as if it had also been "set-up" with contracts signed. I am merely a middle-aged woman who likes to see the fellows mix-it-up in the ring, as far back as the Mr. Ali days. This is the first time I've taken any steps to protest the outcome of a match, which means I obviously feel strongly against people being robbed in my State. To further apologize to Mr.Malignaggi would not heal the wound created by the money-sucking monsters such as the GB and his judges. But not all of us in Texas are bad. My further protest will be to NOT purchase any GBP PPV, to allow MY money to be kept from the greedy claws of cheats.
