But as I reflect on 2006 boxing, this is now happening every other week, isn't it?

Winky just got robbed (please watch the fight WITHOUT sound!)

Before that, Rocky Juarez got robbed v. Barrera
(which was a Golden Boy card...)

Before that, Luis Collazo lost a closer but very controversial decision. (Hatton's parents were crying in the corner over his loss that was then awarded to him...)

I can go on and on with this year alone. But what I want to know is--

Are they getting that blatant about fixing fights?

How do you feel about the sport if this consistent 'home cooking' is seemingly becoming the norm?



I won't call them fixes, but shitty decisions. Now that being said the judges are appointed to these fights by the alphabet groups and I can see them feeling swayed to vote for the home guy.
