Short History Lesson On Las Vegas, Nevada

[Ilya Muromets]

Excerpts from posts i made on the Joshua-Povetkin Thread A Few Days Ago...



Dodgy decisions are everyplace in this dodgy sport, but some places it's almost the 100% rule rather than the exception. I wouldn't want to name names and be accused of insulting a whole city, but it's in the Mojave Desert.

Some more helpful hints: The city was founded by "Bugsy" Siegel, who also founded Murder Inc., and Meyer Lansky, the real Mafia cappo di tutti capi.

Quiz: Did Lansky and Siegel and their associates found the place so they could give the suckers an even break, like on slot machines, or sports betting, like on prize fighting?

Las Vegas, Nevada Democratic senate minority leader, Harry Reid got the s kicked out of him by - he said - his rubberband exerciser. Hey, they even call themself "sin city". You expect them to run, of all things, honest prize boxing? Please.

Las. Vegas, Nevada Democratic Senate minority leader Harry Reid after Fat Louie and his crew - aka his rubber band exerciser - "reprimanded" him:

Two of the judges and the referee were from the east coast.

Adalaide Byrd and Patricia Morse Jarman are the only (possible) current corrupted officials in Nevada.

Not being sexist, but female judges in Nevada stand out. as bad. Thankfully Lisa Giampa has been coming through with solid decision score cards and should be elevated to bigger fights.

- doesn't matter where u come from. when u get a job in Mafia Vegas u do what the boss tells u to do - or else u will get reprimanded by your rubber band exerciser,

- See here - LV was created by organized crime and OC runs the place with the sole purpose of fleecing the suckers. Very similar, if not worse, crowd runs boxing and TV...I heard a little bit of Max Kellerman shilling it up for the house as hard as he could post fight, but i can only take a few seconds of his hysterical bs so i shut it off.

- Bad acting by Alvarez. He knew the fix was in as long as he didn't get KOd, but couldn't he have pretended he didn't before the "decision"?

- Excellent fight ruined by the crooks.

lisa giampa sure f@cked up loma-russell though. i mean ya, gary inflicted a brutal beating, but problem was that the victim was the air and not loma. that has to be up there with the most inaccurate output ive seen in a high level world title fight

maybe shes gotten better, i dunno
