this, along with the recent controversy with regards to the frans botha fight, are sadly just "another black eye for boxing!" you don't see this kind of shit in any other big professional sport, and it really is a shame! like teddy atlas always says, "we need a national commission, dammit!"

in the botha fight, it was originally supposed to be a 12 rounder, but botha was coming on strong the last few rounds, and had local favorite sonny bill williams out on his feet at the end of round 10, so the fight was declared over. the fight was for some bogus belt, but that means it had to have been a 12 rounder seeing as how there are no 10 round title fights, regardless of how worthless the belt in question is. after the fight, botha has allegedly tested positive for numerous banned substances, and its now being reported that he was offered $150,000 to throw the fight, which he declined, what a mess
