I just watched a boxing match between Miguel Huertos and Kid Diamond today and Miguel Huertos gave Kid Diamond a boxing lesson and even dropped him; however, either blind, stupid or corrupted judges gave Kid Diamond a split decision as the crowd booed, and it was essentially a Kid Diamond crowd. Poor decisions are becoming the norm: Calzaghe/Hopkins, Sugar Shane/Miguel Cotto, and both Hopkins/Taylor, and Taylor/Winky fights. The worst part is when there's an highway robbery there is no recourse, and boxing will never correct itself for they haven?t in the past unless forced. I feel if they don't fix this very serious problem that the game will suffer severely, because folks making an honest wager only to have it stolen by corrupt or stupid judges will eventually turn away from boxing to other types of bogus fighting. It is bad enough when there are a lot of clues that prohibitive drugs are being overlooked by those being hyped by boxing promoters and fight announcers, and so why should we watch corrupt fight that?s supposed to be honest when we can watch amateurish face fighters beat each other to a pulp with blood and gore.

If they added three more judges and put them in separate rooms. To view the fight from a camera view and no sound, so the commentators doesn't influence the fight. We might have a more just decisions in the ring.

the only thing that made that a bad stoppage was the timing, steele would have been justified in stopping it had the same thing occured even one minute earlier in the fight, but because the fight was stopped with 2 seconds left, and taylor was winning it was the worst stoppage of all time
on a different note, what i dont understand about boxing, and what i think is hurting the sport the most, is why matchups like mayweather-odh, sell better than matches like cotto-margarito, whats wrong with fans that this happens?

I'm not sure. I've watched it countless times and every time have it 114-113 for either but after countless views I can't argue with it. I think Marquez had the fight 1 if he never got dropped but because he did get dropped he lost.

Well for me I found boxing as one of the very good sport that we have. Especially when it is already time to play even though I'm only watching trough television,but still really fell like I'm also in the ring, most especially the Pacquio from the Philippines and morales fight. I just only praying that hope god will protect them always and make them away from harm always except to the punch that they both receiving and giving to each other.

DLH vs Mosley II was also a poor decision!
J.L Castillo vs Mayweather I was also a poor decision!

The worst decision in the history of boxing was the Meldrick Taylor, Julio Chavez fight on March 17, 1990. With only two seconds remaining referee Richard Steele stops the fight.
I wonder how much money was involved. After all Don King can buy anything.
I have to disagree, Chavez put him on his ass, it's not his fault Taylor couldn't respond correctly to Steele's question's "ARE YOU OKAY, ARE YOU OKAY"!

Good point! Also I watched Oscar win a fight in-which he looked beat-up and the loser didn't; go figure! The boy was no Floyd Mayweather for he doesn?t have Floyd?s fighter intelligence, defense, offense, footwork, speed, balance, power, and Floyd takes a better punch! So how is Oscar supposed to beat Floyd Mayweather? One clue could be is Oscar always win close rounds no matter what, and the fact a judge that gave his vote to Oscar over Shane Mosely and was a judge in this fight. Personally if I were fighting today and was champ, I would not fight Oscar or Cotto because I would not want to give up close rounds that I won, and so I simply would not fight them; that business.

I'm glad you brought this up, I feel they should give their frist judgement at the moment, then give a second a week later (Give's them time to study the fight) to give final thought, and every two years correct the wrong judgement of the past. Giving the fighter's a date and court time to plead their case (Correcting and study the fights that they thought they won).
