Glenn Feldman, is your 114-113 scorecard for Keith Thurman the best you can do?

    It's very true. Put Pac up against someone from the home country and he either gets robbed or at the very least quite biased scorecards against him.
    First time I mentioned something like that was before the Bradley 1 fight and I got ridiculed for it. People said Bradley wouldn't get a fair shake on the cards if it would be even remotely close, and I disagreed and stated the opposite, because I expected Bradley's US nationality to trump Pac's star power. We got even worse as I expected though.

    Glad Pac got the very deserved nod, because many feared another robbery before the cards were read. You can't score 7 rounds for Thurman without huge bias.

    Feldman gave Keith 6 out of the last 7 rounds, all except for the 10th, and he also gave Thurman the 3rd round. Moretti gave Keith the 3rd as well, while the other judge gave the 3rd to Pac. The other judges agreed with Feldman in all of the other rounds except for the 8th (split) and the 12th (both other judges gave it to Pac-Man).

    Lol.

    Fans lament about the judging, when it was clear Pac was pulling all the stops in avoiding KOing Thurman.

    Even Pac couldn't have anticipated Thurman being so listless and visiting the canvas right in the first. He had to blunt his combinations, miss intentionnally, and even purposely eat a few shots to make it look competitive, so the fight could get to the finish line.

    This was Thurman's move to cash out: but even then he totally failed to abide by the insider's agreed rule, which was to at least try to make it competitive.

    Go look at the RBR thread. The majority went for Pac but some had Thurman edging it and many thought it was close enough that it wouldn’t be a robbery to go either way.

    At best for Thurman he won 5 rounds. In rewatching I gave Pac 9 rds, up from 7.

    Wilder saw it clear as day.
