The Ultimate in Martial Arts

The three judges in Saturday's bout on HBO saw a different fight than the one everybody else saw. I could've sworn they filled out the cards wrong. It was funny watching the HBO commentators trying hard to not say it was bullshit and cover up the stench...

You couldn't be more right, Paco. Boxing has always had its bad calls, but lately it seems like its trying to alienate its fans by giving out bullshit calls. But its nothing new. I once watched Sugar Ray Robinson knock a guy out, and the ref stopped the match to give the other guy's corner time to revive him, and they actually resumed the match once they woke him up.

But Quartey can't get a break. They robbed him against DelaHoya, and now against Forrest.
