    After rewatch it, I also had Ioka winning 7-5 lots of close rounds..
    no issue with both @CST80 and @JunlongXiFan score cards either.
    I thought a draw is generous for Franco although he did fight his heart out.

    They did watch the fight through Mickey Garcia’s cell phone uploaded onto his Instagram page.. just like me last night lol..
    One angle camera with Mickey constantly shouting when Franco through a punch which upon rewatch through a YouTube replay seems to be a lot being blocked ha3x.
    Again.. I think a draw is harsh for Ioka.

    I didn't see this before, I appreciate you saying this. I feel like on a close watch where you pay attention, Ioka won pretty clearly. I don't normally go too hard on fights being robberies, but I tend to only drink when I watch boxing, and so I'm usually drunk when I score. But with this fight, I was sober, slow playing certain punches and tallying punches landed each round with my friend. We both agreed that Ioka won, and CST80, who scored a draw for Ioka his last time out, felt that Ioka won wide too, so with you saying this I really think Ioka got the better of the fight by far, especially given that you have a reputation as the best scorer on the forum.

    And then you look at the videos of the fight on YT and read the comments the big majority of the comments are saying Franco got robbed as well. So definitely its going to be an interesting fight to score.

    A lot come from preference as well and it is always subjective but for me and I think, both you and cst80 as well, Ioka cleaner punches of those close rounds win him the fight.
    The first 6 could have been 4-2 or 5-1 Ioka.

    1-0 Franco. Ioka did some good work, but Franco was coming forward and landing his fair share as well. Close round but Franco closed it out stronger.

    Round 2. 1-1 Even. Franco was more busier, Ioka more accurate. Ioka wins round 2 on my card.

    Round 3. 2-1 Ioka. Both fighters landed there fair share of punches, Ioka is just landing cleaner punches. Ioka wins 3rd round.

    Round 4. 2-2 Even. Franco wins the 4th with Activity. Franco out worked him.

    Very good technical battle so far.

    Round 5. 3-2 Ioka. Ioka landed some really good counters. Ioka wins the 5th on cleaner punching. Close round tho.

    Round 6. 3-3 Even. Good bounce back round for Franco. He put alot of pressure on Ioka and out worked him that round.

    Round 7. 4-3 Ioka. In the instances Franco had Ioka on the ropes not much landed and Ioka defended well and countered off the ropes. Better work from Ioka that round.

    Round 8. 5-3 Ioka. Franco more busier...Ioka more ACCURATE!

    Round 9. 6-3 Ioka. Franco threw alot of punches that round but Ioka was still more accurate.

    Round 10. 6-4 Ioka. Franco out worked Ioka that round.

    Round 11. 6-5 Ioka. Franco is walking Ioka down, and wins the round off of activity.

    114-114 Even a DRAW!!!!

    Franco closed out the championship rounds and earns a draw on my card. I don't think there was a clear winner. Lets do it again, but in the states this time. Good fight.

    Best upload of the fight imo..

    You're in the minority bruh. 90% of boxing websites and social media platforms disagree with you bruh.

    I mean, you obviously wanted Ioka to lose, so you could troll JOKER, and you still scored it a draw.

    Dren isn't lying though, I saw on the other website a lot of people were saying Franco got robbed. I didn't watch it though, so I can't comment.

    Nah man, punch stats had them super close in total punches landed and Franco was far more busier. I could understand the outcry of robbery for Franco. I thought it was a legit draw, so I say run it back!

    This is Canelo-GGG 1 all over again with the controversy, but Franco is playing the role of GGG where Ioka is in the role of Canelo, as far as the outcry of robbery goes with the fans.
