| Ok so rewatching the Chavez-Whitaker fight and it just got me pissed all over again, and even Bobby Czyz said on air in the 11th round the odds in Vegas for a draw were 20 to 1, why the hell would he say that in a fight that Whitaker was dominating and had been completely dominating from rounds 7 to 11. When the draw was announced Czyz even said he wasnt surprised and said these things happen in boxing. Then referenced the 20 to 1 odds on a draw. Add in its Don King with his golden calf, pretty obvious this fight was a payoff, and it was bullshit of massive proportions because it featured the number 1 and 2 pound for pound fighteers facing off against each other, Chavez was 87-0 going into the fight and Whitaker clowned him. It's a shame he didnt get his decision.
But...... that got me thinking. What other shady Don King fights do we have, so heres what I got.
Chavez vs Whitaker - duh
Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor -the Richard Steele-Don King connection is shady.
Chavez vs Frankie Randall 2 - flat out mugging at its best.
Felix Trinidad vs Oscar De La Hoya - the judge changing the 12th and giving it to OScar is too bizzare (Some one fix this I dont know how to spell that).
Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis 1 and 2 - anyone else not think Don just fucked up the winner's on accident. Judging was definitely iffy there.
Nikolai Valuev vs Evander Holyfield - Im still pissed about this one
what else is there Im sure theres tons more. Seems like whenever Don has alot of dealings shady decisions and illegal activities follow. | |
