Thank you for your insight on this matter.

It sounds like the WBC is even more corrupt or incompetent than FIDE, the world governing body of chess. That's saying a mouthful. One of the going hypotheses for the problems that developed in the Elista match completed today is that FIDE's officers had a financial stake in Topalov winning.

The WBC was surprised when Maskaev knocked Rahman out again, and when Peter decisioned Toney. It wasn't what they expected.

Why weren't they expecting it? They are acting like they had no plans to simply substitute one boxer for another in the event of an upset. Or that they had plans and then they didn't.

I smell a rat. What's behind this disagreeable odor?

It looks like you and I can have quite a discussion about the unfortunate effect of crooked governing bodies have over sports.
