At Carlos Baldomirs record (http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=007612) his fight with Jose Luis Cruz Felix the draw result is being labelled "controversial decision". What does that mean? If you don't state who deserved the win it is a meaningless statement.

Within 5 minutes following 3 statements were written under Richel Hersisias record:
"Extremly controversial decision! LIE!!!"
"Extremly controversial decision!" Petranyi's team has taken legal action.
"Extremly controversial decision!" Petranyi's team has taken legal action.
In the third minute of the fight, an unintentional headbutt by Hersisia opened a deep cut over Petranyi's eye. The referee ordered "stop" and jumped in between the fighters, but Hersisia landed a body shot about more than one second after the call, from which Petranyi kneeled on the canvas. The referee did not count, but sent the fighters to the corners and indicated that the bout is over. At this point, Olaf Schröder, Hersisia's manager entered the ring shouting at the referee, who after the incident has suprisingly announced the TKO victory of Hersisia.

Has this been confirmed by the local officials? Some countries (fx. Denamrk) and organisations has the rule that an unintentional cut in the early rounds lead to a TKO victory. A stupid rule, but nonetheless a rule.

Hmmm... that comment is a bit too subjective for my taste. Anybody agree?

Yes, Olaf emailed me and complained bitterly about it, I've removed the comment from public view.

Hi John
I think the following comment should also disappear. Mayo's brother was officially a cornerman.

Danny Green vs. Brad Mayo

"Controversial stoppage as a towell was thrown into the ring by Brad Mayo's brother,Referee Malcolm Bulner thought it was thrown in by Mayo's trainer and immediately stopped the bout.
Brad Mayo has announced his retirement from boxing."

Cheers![/b]

More of the same idiotic stuff. "Scoring: 115-113, 114-114, 113-115 (Controversial scoring)" Who should have won?

What does that mean? WHO SHOULD HAVE WON? Can't you instruct people in writing who should have won? ...and ask those who have written those comments to clarify.

I dont think that Boxrec should note "controversial stppage" for ANY bout as that is a subjective call.

Facts as to headbutts, etc are fine, of course.
