Highway Robbery in the Ring.

[Schmoopy1000]

just saw a highway robbery. On NBC with Brown vs. Kalajdzic.
Brown clearly lost, & they gave him the fight being an Olympian I guess. Kalajdzic simply got robbed. It is sad they gave him his 1st loss on his record & it shouldn't have ever been close to a loss.

I can barely watch boxing any more. Too many really suspect decisions.

100% right, the decision went to the wrong guy...Boxing REALLY needs some sort of REAL scoring system which takes it out of the hands of these sometimes crooked judges...

Another one of these. It's disgusting. Didn't see it, but I have no doubt what you say is true. It's boxing.

This is why I vowed a long time ago to never spend a cent of my money on boxing. Felt bad even bringing chips to a party that had the Pac-Mayweather fight on.

I saw it too. Unreal. Boxing is just pathetic and this decision is a prime example of why hardly any one watches anymore

The scoring system has been corrupt for years. Everyone remembers the Roy Jones JR screw job back in the 88 Olympics.

Watched this fight about a week ago.

First, a few observations.

1. PBC commentating is complete and utter sh*t.

2. The ref made the correct call in Browne's 8th round stumble. It was a slip.


Now, my scorecard.

Rd 1 - 10-9, Browne
Rd 2 - 10-9, Kalajdzic
Rd 3 - 10-9, Browne
Rd 4 - 10-9, Kalajdzic
Rd 5 - 10-9, Browne
Rd 6 - 10-8, Kalajdzic
Rd 7 - 10-9, Kalajdzic
Rd 8 - 10-9, Kalajdzic

77-74, Kalajdzic


Bad decision? Yes.

Outright robbery? Probably, although I wouldn't put it up there with Rios-Abril, Lara-Williams, Augustus-Burton, Herrera-Benavidez, Froch-Dirrell, etc.
