    Fight was close to a draw the 2 point deductions were the difference laughable judges cards.

    If I was a boxer I'd rather my opponent's dad got the gig as the referee than have Cole do it.

    Kevin Mitchell got KO'd by Burns, and Omar would do the same.

    I'm surprised Kameda lost considering he's a Haymon guy.

    what about Figueroa's cosntant lunging and leading in with his head ? thats illegal too ? I see so you want to enforce one rule but not another right ?

    the three judges and the ref should be eating good tonight given the massive bonuses they received.

    America

    Land of the free and home of the corrupt.

    What a fcuking disgraceful effort by the promoter, the ref and the judges.

    Sometimes screwing fighters is way too obvious.

    Awful decision, and awful reffing.

    How they can have the fight that wide is unbelievable. Without the deductions that was a Burns win for sure. Even with the horrendous reffing Burns outbox AND outfought Figueroa.

    It is with a grim air of predictability that I watch PBC. Burns had lost that fight before he even stepped into the ring - and Laurence Cole was there just to make sure.

    Atrocious.

    His head was in Burn's chest. If he was headbutting him it would have been different.

    The fix was in, Burns won even with the bull**** deductions and Cole feeling him up. Kind of a ***** move by Fig taking several knees in the last round to try and steal another deduction.

    So, how badly would Crawford beat Figueroa?
