First Soto and Lorenzo, now Chavez jr. And Vanda?

Chavez Jr. has never lost a fight.. and they were fighting in Mexico... in this particular fight he looked like he put up some pounds and a hell of a lot slower...

To make things short... he clearly got outboxed in this fight... but somehow managed to get a split decision which btw wasn't even close...

This was the first time I was happy to see people in the crowd throwing shit to the stage to show how unhappy they were.. because it just wasn't fair and it makes Mexico look bad.. I'm pretty sure those judges are regretting it now.

That was another bullshit call... I feel bad for Vanda the Minnesotan boxer who clearly beat the undefeated* Chavez Jr.

Boxing's been fixed for at LEAST 20 years, if not longer.

What did you expect they were fighting in Mexico....I saw nothing wrong with the Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson fight....the better fighter won...

what do you mean what do you expect? obviously a fair fight... I mean the fans disagreed completely.. would've been differently if it was a close fight then ok... I guess giving it to the Mexican wouldnt have been as bad.. but it wasn't even close.

How could you see anything wrong about that?

Klitschko knocked him out.

It's hard to be controversial about that.

Boxing is still one of my favorites. I am waiting for UFC to die. I'm sure it will too.

there are too many grease balls in boxing. though a bad decision sucks, it shouldn't cost either fighter any money. A good decision would have cost chavez money. OH yeah, it's all about the money.

There should be way more regulations as far as promoting goes and there needs to be one central definitive series of Belts vs. 3 or what? 4. Some kind of point system should be in order and paydays should be based on a few different things instead of what the promoters want to do.

Any boxing is too far gone to be reorganized. Although I'll still watch it.
