    The outcome of Eubank and Rocchigiani wasn’t considered controversial.

    On the subject of Rocchigiani, the first fight between he and Michalczewski was an absolute sham. He was putting a clinic on Dariusz before that disgusting ending which led to his DQ. I’ve never been able to look at Dariusz the same way after the pathetic acting performance he gave in order to take the easy way out.

    There was never any controversy about the result, Eubank got a UD in Germany FFS.

    Here is the last round of the Tua v Griffis fight.
    I can't see much wrong with the stoppage and there was no protest from Griffis or his corner.
    Nor was Tua humiliated ,the fight was pretty level.
    • "After nine fairly evenly-shared rounds, the 10th was the one that counted. With two minutes into the last round Griffis started to look shaky. Tua backed him to the ropes and delivered lefts and rights before the referee stopped the fight."

    I watched it at the time and remember thinking it as one of Eubanks better performances against a good fighter.
    It was hard fought but I thought Eubank always had the edge the 3 judges obviously agreed.
    I repeat though, I don’t recall any widespread outrage about the result.

    The fight was even at the time of the stoppage and Griffis was gone.

    Competitive fight with Eubank the better.

    That’s the way I remember it, hard fought with Eubank edging it.
    I don’t recall any controversy at all about the decision.

    Eubank had built up a big lead he won the first 4 or 5 rounds.
    Just in case I’d missed something I simply googled the fight, and several links came up regarding it, not one mentioned that the decision was controversial, not one.
    As usual you’re simply spouting agenda ridden nonsense.
