    You couldn't score a match if your life depended on it.

    Probably, but he was cut and was bothered and Vlasov dominated the 1st half of this bout.

    No it wasn't. Vlasov was ducking his head; SMith threw the punch as he was ducking down. Behind the head for sure, but unintentional.

    Blatant rabbit punches. Anyone who disagrees in in denial.

    Yep.

    Ward over Kovalev

    Canelo over GGG


    and now, to complete the trifecta...


    Smith over Vlasov.


    Only in America.



    I'm looking forward to Smith - Beterbiev.

    I wouldn't say Bivol had no problems, he was hurt badly by a hellacious shot, he was lucky it was near the end of the round or he could have been stopped.

    Blatant in the fact that it impacted the back of his head unintentional or not.

    The thing is Vlasov came to fight and he fought Smiths fight in his face hitting him and mauling him around the ring.....you cant ask for more Vlasov dominated the fight IMO he just had control of the fight clearly Smith hit harder and hurt him but Vlasov deserves a rematch

    I had money on Joe Smith and was rooting for him to win. But I feel like I should refuse to accept the money, or give it back.

    I hate seeing boxers come from another country and get robbed of deserved wins. Boxing judges should be fair.

    So the 11th round was handled “fairly”?

    Obvious rabbit punch.

    Smith should have been deducted a point, he'd been warned several times.

    I think it comes from the fact that when a fight is close, there are always people yelling robbery before the decision. So when the hometown fighter gets the close decision then people loose their minds.
    In boxing a close fight is always seen as a robbery and the result of corruption.

    He had a WBO patch on his jacket but he wasn’t a judge. He was clearly not ringside on the mat like the judges are.
