Letter: What about the judges?

By Ron Kantowski

Regarding Ron Kantowski's column on the Holyfield-Ruiz fight ("Fight fans cry foul, but why?" Aug. 14): He made no case for the judges' inexcusable verdict. (What did Holyfield do to earn the decision? Nothing by true boxing scoring criteria, except to be Holyfield.)

Instead, he lambastes readers for rightfully questioning the legitimacy of the so-called "fair" Nevada judges. (We won't even get into the judge from South America, foisted upon the wishy-washy, old-boy-network athletic commission by the WBA).

You, sir, probably had the first Holyfield-Lewis fight a draw, too -- or did you see Holyfield winning that one, too?
