A barely casual boxing fan, he thinks that it was rigged for Mayweather to win and said so beforehand. So when Floyd get's the win in a close fight it just confirms his beliefs in his eyes. "Told you. Boxing's a fix. Golden Boy won there" he says. Another fan lost.
Forget the fact that it was on Oscar's Promotion and he doesn't even watch 1% of boxing fights, it's all a FIX! I myself thought Mayweather nicked it in a hard to score fight, no controversy in it really, De La Hoya didn't do enough in some of the rounds, stalking but not throwing jabs or many power shots, we got the odd flurry on the ropes now and again. My thoughts in most of the rounds was "Oscar needs to throw alot more especially those combinations" because when Oscar did unload Floyd went into his defensive shell and didn't throw back on alot of occasions.
Anyway my friend saying boxing is a fix annoys me a bit, theres just no explaining that scoring is subjective, and one judges opinion can be completely different to anothers sitting on the other side of the ring. Some can like the flashier more frequent punches, some the harder eye catching punches, then theres defence and ring generalship etc.
Anyway Boxing is a FIX !
