C.J. Ross - Epic Failures

[TitoFan]

Y! SPORTS




This article points out two obvious facts:

1. Just how horrendous and borderline criminal this old lady's scoring of the fight was.

and.....

2. That no matter what Canelo fans want to think, it was a blowout and a shutout.... plain and simple. No "ifs, ands, or buts". Not since Floyd pitched a no-hitter at the hapless (albeit undersized) Juan Manuel Marquez, had he enjoyed such an easy day at the office.

How does one make it to the top of any occupation by being inept? This lady is straight up corrupt. She did this not once but at least twice! And how does an organization find out if someone is corrupt if they don't even investigate? Because they don't care and that's probably got a lot to do with even more corruption. The messed up part is even the 116-112 scorecard was pushing for Alvarez to win and that now somehow seems fair because of the atrocious CJ Ross card. The judges in the Lara/Williams fight were suspended and investigated and this fight was even more one sided. CJ Ross did this twice at the very top level of sports!!!

she hasn't done it twice... she's done it like 7 or 8 times!!!!

Because I'm a negative cunt, but thats besides the point. Just as is the fact that Mayweather got the win, when we are talking about this specific judge who didn't give it to him. If people are extremely successful and achieve notoriety in their field, then absolute screw ups shouldn't be tolerated. That's like saying every ships Captain should be given a pass for running aground or hitting a fucking iceberg now and then, only human right. A bad day at the office could be giving Canelo 3 or 4 rounds instead of 1 or 2, but not 6. This lady is either corrupt or woefully inept, I don't see how you can spin it otherwise.

A Captain running a ground could have fatal consequences, at best it is going to cause real problems for the people on the boat. Ross scored a bout a draw that I think most disagree with. In the end it did not matter, as her opinion did not count in the verdict as two of her peers scored the fight for Lil Floyd. Why all the fuss, Ross does not matter in this fight?

As for corruption where is the evidence? Where is the need to investigate? I am not American, but if I was, I would not want more tax dollars spent on something like this, that will almost certainly lead to nothing.

her score did count! how many dollars were won and lost by her calling it a draw. what would the payouts have been for UD vs MD? how many lives were affected by that? as a judge you have a responsibility beyond the two fighter's records and reputations. there's a $100billion sports gambling industry that relies on fair and impartial judging. and regular citizens who gamble are being robbed when some one doesn't judge the contest fairly and objectively.

not to mention shitting where you eat.

Well as Rocco said, she turned a clear UD into a MD, I have no idea what the betting implications would've been but that certainly affected people. You are sort of posting as if having the fight even isn't unreasonable, at least it reads that way when you keep reinforcing that Floyd still got the nod. 3 kids with downs syndrome could have scored that fight without causing a stir, the fact that 2 of the judges didn't screw up shouldn't give this lady a pass for doing so. Smashup had a great point with the Michael Watson-Eubank rematch as well, bad decisions can have fatal consequences in this sport.

I completely understand that you just don't want to make a big deal of it and accept bad judging as part of boxing, but there is no reason that it can't be improved in major PPV events in this day and age. This woman has a horrendous track record in big fights over the last ten years, she should have never been hired for this one in the first place. I'm not suggesting there's a lot anyone can do about it now as far as the tax dollars go.

No offence but boxing has not been in the past and probably will not be anytime soon "fair and impartial". if you gamble on boxing you need to be aware there will always be intangibles. And I do not think you can legitimately moan if them intangibles bite you, as that is boxing.

Lil Floyd rightly won, in brilliant style.

REALLY? thats your answer? thats akin to saying. 'if she's dressed like that she's asking for it.'

gamblers deserve to get fucked over because they're gamblers?

it's a $100billion industry....

Gamblers by definition gamble. The best of them will realize what can happen in the sport and factor that in. If you do not, well you do not often see broke bookies and casinos.

I suspect the majority of corruption in boxing is down to gambling. So that would suggest Ross is corrupting the corrupters, which thus may suggests what she did was a good thing! In which case again I disagree with you, as I thought Ross had a bad night, not a good one.

well, i can't argue against the case you've made for CJ Ross just having an off night. your tenacity and firm grasp of logic and reasoning have lulled me into submission defeated me soundly.

i can only hope that if you should end up in the hospital, are registering your kids for school, are applying for a bank loan OR are flying in a plane...that you have that profession's version of CJ Ross determining outcomes for you. AND i hope for you and your family's sake that they're NOT having "a bad day".

I hope so too. But you never know, they maybe having a bad day and I become a victim of that. But as annoying as that can be, it has yet to be the end of the world!

For christs sake Britkid, we aren't talking about a brain surgeon here. Why do you doubt that she is corrupt; is it really more outlandish to suggest that than it is to argue the merit of scoring that fight even? There is absolutely no excuse for that scorecard and to justify it by citing her experience is ridiculous.

I doubt anyone here has not done something absolutely ridiculous in their job/life. And it was not because they are corrupt, it is just they are human...

If judging boxing was as simple as getting a computer to count punches, we would have had that by now. Amateur boxing tried it to a degree, and I think most agree it added not took away from the problem. Part of the beauty of boxing is that it is far from perfect. So the woman had a poor day at the office. Well no one died, and still the right person won.

I know I am guilty as most, by why all the negativity? We have just watched the finest fighter of the 21st Century put on a master class. At his age and with his style, it maybe the last time we see such brilliance from him, so lets make the most of that, rather than letting a poor bit of judgement overshadow things.

People like you is whats wrong with boxing. You accept this bullshit and corruption like so many others which allows it to continue.

Well at least Bob Arum is of the hook if BritKid is what's wrong with boxing
