Should BDB [German Boxing Commision] and Austrian Boxing Federation be investigated?

[salaambrown]

The BDB and ABF have always had rumours circulating with their handling of judges, ring canvas (as seen in Wlad V Fury) and now with the Erkan Teper drugs scandal, these guys seem really incompetent and downright sinister. Germany is notoriously known for poor judging Abraham's fights are commisioned by the Austrian Boxing Federation. To me it seems BDB/ABF just seem to be getting away with mistake after mistake each time.

Some parts of german boxing is absolutely disgraceful, especially some of the smaller venue events and their horrible mismatches. Regarding Abraham - has he ever really been given a gift decision though?

Abraham has not had a gift decision.
The thread starter simply has an agenda against Abraham.

As for the BDB, based on the information that is being made public in the last few days an investigation seems to be warranted.

I don't have an agenda against Abraham, loads of german based fighters have had dodgy decisions go their way, Sturm and Sven Ottke too.
You always hear, it's so hard to get a decision in Germany!

Is this Kalle Sauerland or Nisse

U forget about AA constantly turning his back on Miranda in the 1st fight

[Perseus]

That's on the ref, the decision in that fight was correct.
It's also interesting that you point out AA turning his back but said nothing of Miranda's head-butts.
The ref let that fight get out of control and should have either DQ'd Miranda for the head butts or not allowed Abraham to continue with an obvious jaw injury.

The Sauerlands Bros?

[Taki...]

Wherever there's money corruption is sure to follow. The trouble with boxing is that there's no overarching hierarchy -- not that such things are guaranteed to be any less corrupt.
Would the BDB submit to an investigation without being compelled so to do?
It's tough to see a FIFA-like situation where a foreign agency comes in and brings things to a head.
Should they be investigated? Probably. Will they be investigated? Short of widespread illegal activity being uncovered, doubtful.
