Nadia Raoui Vs. Suzi Kentikian

[TD]

1. Shame on the judges scoring Raoui v. Kentikian

2. Triple shame on Kentikian for acting like she believed she won.

3. Infinite amount of shame on German boxing...if that fight was not the worst example of poor sportsmanship ( fair fights) then what was?

4. BRAVO Nadia Raoui! You beat Kentikian's ass and you beat it good. I had you winning 99- 94 with only the first round going to Kentikian. You fought brilliantly, you fought with great speed and certain conviction. You put your gloves on Kentikian where ever and when ever you wanted!

5. Any boxing records database that shows kentikian as the winner is an accomplice to this outrage. It simply is wrong in broad daylight and borderline criminal.

6. My guess, Suzi Kentikian's mom scored the fight for Nadia Raoui and today is ashamed that her daughter was given an outrageous scam.

7. Paffen gloves at 10 ounces are absurd. At this weight, they should bring back 6 ounce gloves.

AGAIN, BRAVO NADIA! YOU WON! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! YOU FOUGHT LIKE A REAL SPORTSMAN and THE TRUE CHAMPION.

FINAL NOTE TO KENTIKIAN---YOU ARE NOT A KLITCHO...THE WAVING LEFT GLOVE LOOKS REAL DUMB ON A SMALL FIGHTER. REGAIN SOME RESPECT AND ADMIT YOU LOST.

Well, I'm interested; I just didn't get around to voting. As I said elswhere, Nadia won the fight, by a few rounds. Not sure if Susi is on the decline already - she seems to lack the snap she once had - or maybe her opponents are getting better and wiser to her.

martin...I think Suzi fought really poorly. I think Nadia fought brilliantly. I think fans of the sport took one below the belt. Worse, nobody cares, nobody will even express their opinion on it. Very sad day to my thinking.

What would have helped Suzi, her promoter, the sport, Nadia and everyone around the world---Suzi takes her first loss like a real champ...and then goes on a rampage to get a rematch. That's what drives real champions. Nobody fights every fight at the "10" level...but when they fight at the "7" level and told they put in a "10 like" performance...well that becomes disenchanting for the fans and true lovers of the sport.

You can only imagine the depth of despair that Nadia has gone thru...all those weeks of high intensity training seem to pay off in an intense face off with the champion...then she's told she lost. "You lost Nadia"! What?

I am sure she is over it by now...I always say, learn to throw for a knockout because NOBODY can dispute a KNOCKOUT.

In truth Nadia needs to develop some pop, I like her combos, I like how she leaps across the gap, I love her head movement, her feet are very fast and she is tenacious...would love to see her tighten up her punches, not disconnect her arms from her body.

Suzi knew she lost the fight going into the 10th round. Did she fight like a champion in the 10th round? NO.

She needs motivation.

Just read Suzi's comments on the fight. SHE ACTUALLY STATES THAT SHE WON!

Now that is poor sportsmanship. She claims that she never "felt Nadia's punchs". Look in the mirror Suzi, see that swollen left eye, was that was caused by cashing your purse check? NO, that was a reminder, you LOST the fight.

Now she is saying Nadia deserves a rematch...the question is, do YOU deserve a rematch?

Nobody who saw that fight thinks Kentikian WON. Nobody. Even the judge who scored it for Nadia had it wrong. Nadia won by more than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
