Comments Thread For: Arum lights up ESPN for leaning on Foster-Conceicao CompuBox figures

[pnut901]

Bob just wants something to complain about. It's not like the ESPN panel has any effect on the scoring of the fight.Besides , Kriegel did not make his scorecard based on the Compubox , they just used it to explain what was seen on the screen. Anybody who is honest and unbiased has Foster winning the fight by a good bit.

Damn.

I’ve seen stitch ups galore in boxing, the noble sport of kings that is run today by knaves.

But this is the first time I’ve heard that CompuBox isn’t even at ringside. So it’s essentially just a guy watching TV, counting and then pretending to be authoritative? Just like I do at home? Lol!

Even by the normally low
standards of boxing, that takes some serious ****ing cheek.

Rogue-ish knaves at that !

Betwixt the outrageous knavery , the flim flam , the slim slam, and the okey doke-ery , I've never seen such a thing in all of my days. Quick , someone alert the sheriff of Nottingham treachery and skullduggery , maybe even witchery ,are afoot. Raise the alarm ,and have your squire saddle the horses. We ride for the Castle at once !

Bob’s right IMO. I thought something was off when they showed the punch stats. It didn’t make sense to me. There were blows not being scored. I was in disbelief. And the commentators reminded me of the fake news.

Foster won the fight. Simple. Anything else is uncivilized...

In all my years watching boxing I don't think I've ever seen a single set of Compubox statistics that accurately represented the fight I was watching.

That's not to say this wasn't a bad decision, but rather that Compubox as a whole needs to be eradicated from the sport. It does nothing but mislead.

Lol Bob. Nobody in the world thought Conceicao won.

Sad day for boxing

I respect Bob more than most in the fight game and I know boxing from a judging standpoint and have been doing this from home over 40 years and was a professional fighter myself but this was a bad and should have been an easy decision in favor of Foster. There's a slight difference but not a huge one in person if you know boxing and styles, landed shots from slaps etc., in fact they even mad a comment about Conceicao not turning his shots over and pretty much slapping and they were correct in that assessment as well. Conceicao received a gift decision and these judges need training or removed it's to major at this stage to let it ride!

I could tell from the bettings odds that betting on Conciecao was a wise decision..

I thought Foster won easily. That said, he had all the advantages. Hes faster, more athletic with far better timing and STILL created doubt in the judges. I cant stand to see guys like Foster or Shakur play it safe. They’re too good for that. Look at how Keyshawn fought the SAME type of fighters as the other two. He DIDNT play it safe. He could of fought scared and out pointed his opponent like Shakur and Foster. HE DIDNT. Hes a REAL fighter.
Fighters shouldn't be rewarded with wins for playing it safe. No boxing fans want to see that sheeit.
