well, is it not as bad as some of us think. im convinced certain individuals (main players etc) have a big input into some decisions...particularly when a fight goes to the judges.

some of my faith in the sport we love has been restored tonight due to valuev losing a points decision in germany, i thought it was a nailed on valuev victory if it went to points as certain individuals had a vested and financial interest in him defeating the record of the great rocky marciano.

what do you fellas think ?

Rhino: Dont forget mate, Chagaev is also promoted by German team in universum, so it was probably a level playing field tonight...

Watching Eurosport in the week they had the WBC international Middle title fight between Domenico Spada and Mahir Oral, and the Italian Spada got completly robbed by the judges, and that was in Oral's hometown in Germany.
Spada outworked Oral all night but 2 judges only awarded him 4 rounds.

This was a mandatory wasn't it? So i'm not sure what King will have on Chagaev, He's on the universum team, so they are a big player, can't see them signing over options to King
