The Boxing thread

[BigOscar]

Judging in boxing is getting worse, which is really saying something. I probably would of just edged it to Abraham by the odd round, but it was close eother way, but those scores are just stupid.

Judges should be held to account round by round on a tv replay. Shocking scores.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Embarrassment to boxing that result, how did 1 judge it 119-109 what the fuck were they watching, there were 3 rounds when Abraham didnt land a punch, whichever way you had it, it had to be close. Shocking 'homer'.

For a man who'd supposedly just lost nearly every round to a hard hitting world champion, his face was in surprisingly good shape

Theres a reason why the Germans dont travel to fight and when they win a World title its generally home town fights or fights in Germany. King Arthur looked a bit poor. He didnt come in ready for the fight underestimated Smith. Thats the reason why Smith got close. Smiths got beaten by DeGale and Groves so you could imagine if either of those 2 were fighting King Arthur last night think it would of been a closer fight on the score cards but stil a Arthur win. Now if Matchroom look for a rematch and were they put the fight on who knows if Smith could win the fight or not. But Arthur got his get out of jail free card last night.

Every country is the same e.g McCloskey vs Prescott in Belfast.

Oh i know most of the countrys are the same. Ricky Burns has been lucky at times fighting up in Scotland but it wont change until the boxing judges are scoring the fight outside the venue and then theres hope. I think some judges just take way too much sway to home crowds cheering instead of scoring the fight right.

Yep, most of the crowd are too far away to see a clean punch and cheer at nothing. Maybe ear defenders are needed :)
