Did anybody watch the contender last night on ESPN?
That thing was so rigged and I don't think I'm going to watch the second season now because of it.
I mean, Anthony Bonsante clearly landed more punches on Brinkley, and was the clearcut winner on the scorecards. Then, the decision comes along and it's for Brinkley!?? What a load of crap.
Manfredo Jr is destroying Mora for most of that fight except maybe 2 or 3 rds and once again it comes down to a decision. They wouldn't fix two matches on the same fight card, would they? Sure enough, Mora wins and is celebrating as the huge gaping cut over his eye continues to bleed from the whooping he received just minutes earlier! Oh, also the fight was in Moras hometown of LA at the Staples Center. Hometown hero wins the fight, hmmm.
Boxing is turning into one of the worst sports ever. Fights are fixed, there's too much money invloved and there isn't any honesty to the sport anymore. When a guy beats up another guy for so many rounds and then gets declared the loser by decision, there's something wrong there.
