Subject: boxing travesty

My brother and I just watched
the Ike Quartey vs Vernon Forrest fight
on HBO, The fans, the announcers,
Harold Lederman who used to be a fight judge scored
the fight 97-92 for Quartey
then Michael Buffer announces the judges scores
as 95-94, and I think 96-94. For the winner Vernon Forrest
the crowd chanted in unison Bullshit.
This is one of the things that Ruin boxing
and make people think it is fixed

Quartey from Ghana does not get the decision he deserved
against Forrest who is an american fighter
and some of the announcer theories when they could speak
was that the judges were soccer fans and were upset that the US team had lost to Ghana.
I just called my brother at home and he is still upset.
