    You only need to look at the RBR to see that this is not a robbery, you know yourself that scoring is very subjective, McCloskey sweeped the last 5 rounds on my card.

    I had McCloskey winning that by a round. No way could you make a case for anything better than a draw for Prescott.

    Prescott won the fight. McCloskey never won more than 5 rounds, so how could he possibly win? Prescott knocked him down as well.

    Sick to death of British Boxing judges. We are the most corrupted country for decisions in the world today. I thought Germany was bad, but not anymore.

    So he wins the last 5 rounds clearly then you think he should retire when prescott gor a gift 1st round knock down caused by a close line.... :lol:

    Pricks on this site i had it a draw with the shitty knockdown and a win if you didnt have the gift knock down caused by a close line.

    115 - 115 DRAW on my card. Couldnt argue if it had gone either way but Prescott was knackered in the last 5 rounds.

    I had Prescott up by two, but it was a close fight and wasn't a robbery

    Very close fight overall so no way was he "robbed"! Unfortunate maybe, but not robbed.

    Any other of the million times an evenly fought, close fight went to the home fighter. Not a robbery, Mccloskey came on in the second half of the fight to just about take it in my view.

    Seems like every fight that doesn't end in a stoppage these days draws cries of 'robbery' from some section of the crowd or other. It detracts from actual robberies such as Cox(sucker) v Sai.

    That was a massive disgrace. Tonight was a disgrace so that sums up how bad the judging is.

    Prescott landed power punch after power punch. He landed the bigger shots and 7 rounds at least, plus he had a knockdown. ****ing already posted yesterday how raging I was after last nights decision let alone tonight.

    I'm very mad right now, I need to cool go cool down. I feel like my beloved sport is being ruined because of corruption. It's ****ing outrageous considering this isn't a one off thing, we're talking week after WEEK.

    It was a bad score and tainted by "hometown" decision. I just don't see how judges can't just use their eyes and score accordingly.
