I am really questioning why I waste any of my time watching these fights. Its so disappointing when something like this happens. It doesn't even matter what the result of the fight was, its that this happened that is so disappointing. Sports are about competition, when it appears to be organized crime, it makes the sport so invalid.
Boxing has no credibility left.
Boxing needs to make changes but no one cares about the fighters enough to make any changes, so the corrupt promoters will keep lining their pockets like businesses as usual.
The fans need to stop paying for fights so that these the corrupt promoters don't keep lining there pockets they'll be pissed when it starts hurting their bottom line. I've seen so many terrible decisions in the sport of boxing that I've totally lost pretty much all interest in a sport that i admired for quite a long while. I feel bad for the fighters that put their life's on the line and for the rest of the fans that do love the finer things of boxing in the ring and the people that pay to watch the fight live, and on TV.
The politics have destroyed boxing especially within the last 5 years, but as long as the promoters and the letter soup organizations hold the power nothing will ever change and I realize that it never will.
Even though Uncle Teddy Atlas is kinda a senile old timer he's right. There needs to be a national or international commission to oversee everything in boxing and to hold everyone involved in the fight game accountable but no one cares about the fighters enough to make those necessary changes to the sport.
That was a disgusting decision, it's reminds me why I don't pay to watch fights anymore I'd rather watch it for free in the next weekend. I will never spend another cent watching a prize fight, I learned my lesson while ago.
Adelaide Byrd should be exiled from boxing for life for that embarrassing scorecard but rest assured you'll see Byrd judging another fight without any repercussions as if nothing ever happened until the next controversial decision.
