    Exactly. They need to add some common sense into pro boxing as well. Just this past week we saw a blown call on a cut that was obviously caused by a punch in the Clottey/Judah fight, while the exact opposite happened in the Toney/Rahman fight (although Rahman should've lost via TKO for being a fuckin pussy).

    It's fuckin embarassing how ass backwards pro-boxing can be.

    "Four years later, computer scoring was introduced, but former AIBA president Anwar Chowdhry later acknowledged that much of the judging in Barcelona was corrupt as well."

    Oh really? Can you prove it, bitch?
