Williams/Lara Judges suspended~!!!!

[captainanddew]

Now Lara needs to officially protest the decision, and worst case scenario, get the fight declared a no contest. Does anyone recall a decision getting reversed?

Really bad idea. There's no allegation of corruption.

Stuff happens. Suck it up and ask for a rematch.

Lara is begging for a rematch. Goosen has his sights on cashing out with a 3rd Martinez fight as it makes more money for his company and his fighter before PW is retired violently.

Does anyone think a PW/Martinez fight can be credibly sold?

Wouldn't PW have to beat someone impressively in the interim?

rumor going around is that Goosen is trying hard for the Martinez fight and has thrown out Molina (who beat Cintron and previously drew with Lara) as another possibility. I could see him fighting Molina as it is a credible name, who isn't a southpaw.

the judges should be forced to watch Haye vs Valuev on a loop for an entire week. That should be punishment enough.

Geebuz H Christmas, they didn't KILL anyone!

This is a good post for a prolific poster.

I find it very surprising that the board would suspend judges based on what they thing is poor scoring. Perhaps no one advised them that the camera's view is not the same as the 3 judges. So unless they had other reasons for the suspension, I think its just another bad call.

Keeps boxing in the news, HBO didn't agree with a decision, let's suspend the judges. There's been a lot of questionable decisions lately, they should suspend them all if that's the case. This is an era where when you lose a fight, the judges can be suspended and you can protest the fight be declared a no contest, and when you can sue another fighter for pre fight trash talk. Just suck it up and fight again. If they are really about ridding corruption in the sport than fine, but if this is just an isolated incident because it gets national attention then its just another tease.

Yep.

Pro boxing judging doesnt have a clear cut way of scoring, just who you think gave a better impression during a round and because of this, how can anyone be wrong?

There are too many interpretations of wjat wins a round and because of it you get instances like this. If we were sat ringside looking up at the action from one fixed position we would see different to what the TV shows us.

They were not suspended for the decision, one judge was showing his card and talking to one of williams promoters during the fight, at least that is what they are saying and showing with photo's and video.

This is good news, Lara especially has really made some corrupt judging.

[Galaxy]

I hope we see this happen more often

They would not have scored so badly if they allowed their seeing eye dogs to do the math instead.

Yup. That'd make sense. But that looks like a risky fight to me for PW. Molina seems to really be feeling it.

I said this in the other thread. 8 of Williams' last 10 opponents were southpaws. The two who weren't, Cintron & Margarito, weren't having trouble finding him either. For whatever reason, they've clearly aimed to match him with lefties where possible. Southpaws aren't the problem. Williams & what he's being taught are.
