Parlayaday,  you are so right about his work ethic, HOWEVER, how can anyone NOT make an adjustment to an incoming left. He holds his right hand at waist level.

I think Kermit is a friggin bore also.

EVERY BOXING FAN, WRITER, PROMOTER, etc. IS SAYING THIS WAS BULLSHIT!! Close fight, c'mon man.

horrible decision...one of the worst I ever seen. ranks up mthere with Hagler -antfermo draw...I call that the worst ever...lewis holyfield 2nd worst

Lara connected more shots, the bigger shots and at a higher percentage. Also, when Lara won certain rounds it was very clear, but when Williams won almost any of his rounds you could make a case for Lara winning any of them. There was a major disparity in connect rates, composure and decisive rounds won. We all know boxing is and has been the most controversial sport due to a combination of false rankings, bad and fixed (cheated) decisions and each states rules are different allowing for the use of bad gloves, illegal substance enhancers and any other methods legal or illegal to gain an edge.

The biggest factor was, is, and will stay is MONEY. It rules the world and sports are a part of the real world. A list of the largest sports contracts for players that include signing bonuses but exclude endorsements, buyouts and options shows that the New York Yankees tower over the competition. They have the #1 Alex Rodriguez ($275,000,000), #2 Derek Jeter ($189,000,000), #4 Mark Teixeira ($180,000,000), and #5 CC Sabathia ($161,000,000). That's why the NY Yankees are in contention for MLB's World Series Champs (They are also the U.S. all-time winningest pro team ever with 27 championships) every year. Paying those salaries, it appears they should win every year, but luck is a larger factor than appears (especially cause of injuries) to the public. Notre Dame's College Football home games have all been televised on NBC since 1991. Now before cable sport packages and satellite options this gave Notre Dame a huge edge when it came to recruiting (even prior to the NBC major contract) that they should have been in contention for the National Championship every year (again the luck factor).

Thank you for this.  I'm really dumb and easily manipulated, so I always let Roy Jones control my opinions.  Now that I have read your post, I know the real story.
