boxing politics

[El Kabong]

I know Don King and the WBA have protected their heavyweights for the past 10 or so years

Speaking of Don King, he almost got the Tyson lost to Douglass overturned because of a supposedly long count. Now, that's boxing politics at it's finest!

Their is nothing more satisfying then an 'unknown' coming in and upsetting a favorite. Especially from another country,yep. Went there. And nothing worse than being blatantly robbed for the sake of a networks purse strings.

I love that!

Watching Golden Boy have a latest star smashed up gives me great pleasure. Even Mitchell vs Katsidis to an extent because it was in his teams stadium.

Saying John Smith clearly won didn't make sense...

smith didnt win thicko

a) Er, he did. He has the belt to prove it...

b) John Simpson didn't CLEARLY win - it could have gone either way. Even a draw would've been a fair result.

chill dude, its not an english lesson you knew what i meant

in my opinion simpson clearly won, perhaps that fight can be looked at by a none biast person and they might think simpson lost, unlikely but i can accept it
