    From what i see with my own eyes not being able to look at that stats. Taylor was the aggressor and i give him the rounds based on that, Catteral boxed well early on but i thought he took his foot off the pedal, and Taylor managed to make it close down the stretch. The bogus point deductions also didn't help the judges with the scoring, on what already was an ugly hard fight to score.

    Like i said is it a controversial decision and was Catteral unlucky not to win a decision ? absolutely but for me not a robbery.

    Not really sure you can win a round just by being the aggressor if you aren’t landing any punches.

    Edit - But like I said might watch it again.

    As i said i didn't know the stats when i scored it neither did the judges, for me Catteral looked the better fighter overall on the night. But scoring it RBR with all the BS point deductions, i actually had it a close fight with Taylor edging the later rounds. I thought Catteral had a much stronger argument to winning the fight than Taylor, and he was unlucky not to win the decision no doubt. But i don't think it was quite the outright robbery that people claimed.

    Makes me wonder if Glen Feldmann was a judge

    Absolutely a robbery. Call it what you want but at the end of the day the wrong hand was raised.

    Well it wasn't armed robbery, more like grand larceny

    :beer-toast1: We saw basically the same fight, sans maybe a round.
