Look at just about any card - particularly tonight's - and it is ridiculously easy to pick the winner of every bout on the card.
Andy Raymond talks complete rubbish, with Jeff Fenech complicit, as the imported fighters get battered in one-sided contests to boost the records of Vea, Zappavigna, Ganoy etc. It won't be long before we have another fatality (and I've seen one).
Who wants to watch one-sided contests in which the result is pre-ordained? And if there is any chance of an upset, the referees and judges make sure Dib etc get the decison regardless of low/late blows etc.
As someone who has closley followed the sport for three decades, I am disgusted by the bias, the racism and the lack of honesty. Boxing in Australia is finished unless someone is brave enough to clean out the cheats.
At least the NSW Boxing Authority has tghe guts to over-rule ridiculous results like Dib's most recent "win" - but too little, too late.
Goodbye and goodnight.

Not sure how many people of influence read forums like this....and more importantly, how many take notice, but I'm not giving up yet. I love the sport, I'm not sure why, but I do. Will it ever be a massive sport again??? well.... never say never i reckon. Lets keep talking the talk and hope someone pays attention to the unsilent majority.
