That is common because they don't have any strings to pull or that their promoter has no ties with the governing bodies or committees that will get the outcome to their favor, in those cases, they already know what would be the outcome and that the result will not be in their favor. To sum it up, almost all sports industries have the same problems because this is a multi-millions sports after all, we just got to be accustomed by it.

In some cases, they can not do something about it but there are promoters for that event that will surely use someone to make the fight in their favor and that task was always on the referee's decision-making, well there is recent news that a referee has recently admitted to cheating the knockout count for Pacquaio and prolonging the count because he is a Filipino well there are surely different aspect for the said cheating and allowing Manny Pacquiao to rest a bit and that Referee was Carlos Padilla so in this recent statement referee is surely prone to commit cheating for their favorite boxer, but if the fight is dominant enough are there are no chance for the following to make that cheat then there is no need to worry about something, but then if the fight was close then it can easily manipulated by the referee of the judges,

Yep I agree, They certainly have power to make it an unfair fight if they side in their favorite boxer. Even prolonging a count by a fraction of a second could be unfair to the match since every millisecond count in a knockout. That kind of unfairness couldn't be caught easily and I believe that it needs to make the referee admit or have a very solid video evidence that it was performed during the match. It could be the same on football where referee power is so strong that they can instantly raise up the violation card they want to give and it is according to their perspective.

It's truly embarrassing to know that these kind of stunts are getting common these days, I mean I know that promoters are starting to become more greedy to get their cows some favor but buying a referee and a judge to make the situation certain is quite too far already. Yet the governing bodies and committees are turning to a blind eye because even them have also participated these stunts as they are also getting some benefits about these things.
Not sure if those are common but it could be potentially happen and once these situations had been exposed or really been emphasized or in the main hot seat then this is the time where criticisms would really be there. Its not really something new when it comes to this industry or even in other sports as well where referee decisions turns out to be shady or somethings off and these things should be done on
the most non-obvious manner or else they would be fucked up by lots of criticisms or the worst they might be facing up some legal actions or some sort.

That is the fair thing that the organisation should do, if ever that there's a controversy with the decisions coming from the judges who facilitated the fight, if found guilty then they should have that right punishments and reverse the decision in favour of the right winner the same thing that happened with Casimero.

Well, yes it is really the right thing to do, and the weird thing here is that Akaho even acted upon the said rabbit punch that the referee have told, and acting strangely that he was really hurt on the back of the head, which is a silly thing to do because everyone has seen that Akaho is just acting it out because he got pulverized by Casimero, the weird thing here is the record of Casimero and I think he is the 1st boxer to ever win via KO/TKO back of the head punch, that is really absurd.

Even prolonging a count by a fraction of a second could be unfair to the match since every millisecond count in a knockout.

Yup! It a solid proof just like the Akaho VS Casimero fight there is solid evidence that the back-of-head punch didn't really connect, it was just a graze on the back of the head, but that Manny Pacquaio VS Nedal Hussein doesn't have a clear copy that the referee did cheat, and it was never been really heard but surely if Carlos Padilla the Referee in charge back then doesn't confess that he really did cheated then the public wouldn't even know about this and Pacquaio and Hussein will not talk about a rematch,

This is something that I don't know how to say, but something happened at the Olympics that was precisely with the JAPANESE, I don't know if they already took that into account, and for that moment, the judges are the most studied and most expert, without However, they came out with those results, so here things are not done for the sake of it, I think that since boxing is a business model in which money is managed at a very high level, things can get out of hand and it is usually seen as a great I shamelessly have fights that are fixed, now the judges and the federations always take care not to put their reputation at risk and any claim can be seen as something childish, when it can be very well categorized.

In some cases like this, it should be investigated if there are many that are siding that the fight was truly fixed and there is something that happens that is really not right and not true with the fight then people that are involved should be investigated and if proven guilty they should have gotten a fine for the damage that has happened and on the recent fight of John Riel Casimero the fight was changed to No contest to a KO/TKO punch to the back of the head,

That is the fair thing that the organisation should do, if ever that there's a controversy with the decisions coming from the judges who facilitated the fight, if found guilty then they should have that right punishments and reverse the decision in favour of the right winner the same thing that happened with Casimero.

I agree to that, if the fight was close then cheating can be done easily while if there's a domination that taking place, it will be tough to execute any cheat, the social media can easliy ruined everything if fans will make a noise the decision can be reverse.

Updates will be announced either there's a complaint between the camps, or they decided to take the rematch. We can only speak
on our opinions, but the finals, judgments are still on the organization to declare.

Reading articles related to that fight, no signs of complaining or anything from both party. No need for reviews or something.

Both boxers will now finally move on to the next chapter of their fight.

No mandatory rematch as per the article I read, Ioka is not available for it. Franco will be facing another opponent and so is Ioka.

It's because both still have their belts as the results is draw. Not sure who will be the two will be facing in their division, Ioka seems to need to expand his horizon and need to fight another good boxer to remain on top or defend it stateside.

Same for Franco, he has been in a lot of controversial fight in his last 4, for those who are not aware of, his fight fight with Moloney is also the same and then they settled it in a trilogy wherein Franco won.

Everyone can search their first fight and it's so unfortunate for Moloney that he didn't get the benefit of the replay but when they fought the second time around, the referee uses a replay and chance his verdict from knock down to non knock down, how ironic it is.

But for the fight between Ioka and Franco, it's a unification so very difficult to reverse until all bodies agree on the decision, but I doubt that they will do that, they can simple order a mandatory rematch, best case scenario.

Why there's a need for reverse? As I watched some of the clips of that fight, they are really fighting toe-to-toe. That won't be subject for sure for a review since there should be no controversial thing about that fight. Besides, I doubt one of the party are complaining aggressively to the point that they will file a case.

The DRAW result seems like a fair judge to me and no biased decision or anything.

About a mandatory rematch, I think not gonna happened as Franco sticks with his target for a long, WBC Junior bantamweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada.

Ioka on the other hand will be mandated by WBO to fight for a title defense.

Fair and nothing to say about the decision, regarding to the possibility of a rematch, that only depends on both camps, especially if
money speaks louder even the career intention can be changed if dealing with huge amount of money.

Handlers and promoters will think about the possibilities of bringing both fighters if they see good pressure from fans and sponsors.

Updates will be announced either there's a complaint between the camps, or they decided to take the rematch. We can only speak
on our opinions, but the finals, judgments are still on the organization to declare.

That's not new in boxing, there are really questionable judging, they say boxing is corrupt, then that explain the allegations. However, we are still here supporting the sport, so we should not complain, just accept the fact that sometimes things does not happen based on our expectation. If we search in youtube, you will find a lot of fights with controversial results.

If I'm not mistaken, there are boxing events and matches before where decisions were changed upon being reviewed.

Like, the losing side will file a complaint, the boxing board or councils will review it, then from there, announce the final results. Another one, the losing side won't bother to make a complaint but the board will still review the fight (like what happened to Casimero).

For long-time boxing enthusiasts there, I'm sure they have an idea about that.
Yeah, there have been cases like that. It's a petition and complaint that they believe that there's a wrong result to the match that has happened and that's why it has to be reviewed again.
It's not a problem for the boxing committee because they're open to any fairness that might affect their reputation. But these days, I rarely see it happen anymore as most of the losses and fights that happen were respected for the results.
But if there's really a need to review a fight, then the losing fighter has to put it up to the process while the boxer that has won should just wait until an investigation comes.

But only a few complaints are successful to win, that's why they called this sport corrupt because there are results that is very obvious to be wrong. Like this particular fight, also, we don't know when the decision will come out, I'm sure there are lots of boxers in the past who complained but the results are not in their favor.

That is common because they don't have any strings to pull or that their promoter has no ties with the governing bodies or committees that will get the outcome to their favor, in those cases, they already know what would be the outcome and that the result will not be in their favor.

So it isn't really surprising that the Japanese boxer seldom lost in their country.  During the 1990's the only way to win in Japan was to knock out their boxer and if you failed to stop your opponent it is a sure lost to the visiting boxer.


The same thing happened in Australia when Pacman was robbed. Let's hope that things will change for the fairness of sports, that way they will be able to have the opportunity to host a championship fight because they have good credibility, big fights are not fought in countries where there's a questionable reputation about judging a fight, so it's not good for business.

That's not new in boxing, there are really questionable judging, they say boxing is corrupt, then that explain the allegations. However, we are still here supporting the sport, so we should not complain, just accept the fact that sometimes things does not happen based on our expectation. If we search in youtube, you will find a lot of fights with controversial results.

I believe the more we support the sport the more we complain about the unjust decisions by judges.  This way we can assure that the sports we are supporting offer the best services.  It is not new in boxing history that judges can be bought.  There are even lots of rumors about Mayweather Jr. buying judges' favors just to let him win the game.  It become a hot topic when Judges favors Mayweather Jr. in the first encounter of  Mayweather and Maidana.

In fact, in all boxing history, controversial fights are just too many to mention here. It will take a whole year just to discuss it and to agree if the judge's made the right call or not. But despite of the bad image that these judges, referees, and boxers are giving, we all are here still supporting and watching their upcoming fights because we know that there's still a lot of neutral fight and fair fight as not all of them is that corrupt. There's still judges and referees that just can't be bought because they have their own stand.

Up to this date, we're still witnessing corrupt officials and controversial fights. We just can't do anything about it because we don't have the voice that will make them obey and straighten them up.

That's where the petition probably starts. When the loser boxer don't want to accept the decision and thinks that there's an anomaly regards to the unanimous decision and as per as scoring.

Honestly, this is a childish petition if ever there are boxers like that. They have to respect what has given to them based on the score cards that's presented.

If that's the main reason why many don't like the judges anymore then there shouldn't be judge anymore but, that's it. They're trusted to do their job.

It's childish if the public sees that the decision was fair, here, the public sees there's something wrong with the decision and the judges were favoring the home fighter despite the fact that he was very well dominated in the fight. This will destroy the sports of boxing, and the reputation of the country that have hosted the fight.
Still, that's needed to cater if someone or from the other end has complained and asked for a review.

That's okay and they just need to end it up with that investigation just to satisfy and verify that the win is clean and outright. I don't think that there's a reason for it to destroy the reputation of boxing.

There are a few of them but it will not destroy its reputation.

It's even good that they're giving the complainant a chance and they've given what's being ask if ever this is happening in some boxing matches.

There could be, but the scoring at least should be correct in the first place as reversing the decision doesn't look good for the sports. That why they are judges, they are train and if I'm not mistaken, paid to do their job right. But if they continue to made mistakes after mistakes then they should look for another job.

It's not a problem for the boxing committee because they're open to any fairness that might affect their reputation. But these days, I rarely see it happen anymore as most of the losses and fights that happen were respected for the results.
But if there's really a need to review a fight, then the losing fighter has to put it up to the process while the boxer that has won should just wait until an investigation comes.

Even boxing commentators are biased as well, hehehe, so I guess everyone in boxing might be corrupt, even the organization themselves, like the famed WBC by the Sulaiman.

That's why boxers doesn't want the fight to end in judges hand because most of the time the decision will not be in their favor.

I guess one classic example is Roy Jones losing the Olympic gold medal in this fight and says that he doesn't want to fight anymore. Fortunately for us he change his mind and become one of the legends of boxing. On the other hand, Park Si-hun was ruined after this fight.

Home advantage.  Grin That is why judges and commentators should be from different countries if ever a fight will be between 2 countries.
As long as they know what they are doing, it should be enough for making decisions.
And yes, this is why a TKO or KO is what most boxers do now. If it will be in the judges' hands there's a chance they will lose it by a point or worst like what happened in biased fights in their home countries.
Thankfully, most of the title holders now are KO specialists, Inoue is a good example of it as it's not easy for bantamweights to end a KO/TKO, 24-21-3. And the best example at light heavyweight, Artur Beterbiev, 18-18-0

Yes, we can probably call it home advantage, and as others said, not the first time and not only did it exists on boxing, it all other sports discipline as well. It's not in boxing, it is very evident of a home town decision. And it's very hard for someone to visit the home turf of an opponent and then win in the judges card, maybe we can count only a couple and recently, Casimero is a good example of it because after all John Riel is a KO artist as well.

So we will want how the controversy will be settled and hopefully another fight will be good to justify whether it was biased scoring or Franco is really good that he should won the fight in the first place.
