I agree with u here about what u say....& don't think u are a sucker......because as Gump's Mom said "Boxing judges are like chocolates, u never know what ur gonna get".
How about when Pac-Man fought Bradley on HBO & their judge Harold Lederman had the fight 11 rounds to 1 for Pacquiao & the fight judges scored it a win for Bradley? And just sooo many other ridiculous judging scores.
U just never know who they will "give" a fight to. I've seen this in MMA too....but not nearly as bad as boxing.
I also thought it would go to JCC, although before I heard the scores I thought we would hear it was a split decision like this.
1st judge has it 96-94 Vera. 2nd judge has it 96-94 JJC jr. And 3rd judge has it 96-94 JCC jr.
Have you noticed that in most fights that are split decisions.....the 1st judges scorecard will have the loser winning on their card? More drama that way I guess.

I really don't understand these forums sometimes. Probably because I'm older than the main demographic here.
I said King not much anymore...he is 82....but then Arum is 81. Then I said now its Arum & Golden Boy. Also u have Dibella, Shaw, Goosen, etc.
Yes, to be specifically correct I should have said he isn't even a factor anymore....and about time. Although when u say King has NO One anymore.....u might not want to bet the farm on that.
Speaking of reptiles (King & Arum)......They certainly both applied the real Golden Rule with boxing & boxers.....although Arum probably still goes to Goldman Sachs bank & King probably goes to his piggy bank.
