    This fight is why boxing has a bad reputation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again foreign fighters are ALWAYS robbed in close fights. This was a classic example. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth and makes you wonder why you watch it.

    I know , mate. It's pretty sickening.

    Dodgy ref AND dodgy judges.


    It stinks.

    Only exceptions I can think of is when the foreigner scores a knockdown in a close fight. They have gotten some tight decisions that way but overall yeah.

    Well scripted is the art of robbing.

    No it isn't it's much worse. We actually have neutral judges or a mix of home, away and neutral over here for world title fights or eliminators between a home and away fighter. Hell, we often have neutral ones for Euro title fights or a mix for fights between a home and away fighter with no title on the line. There is literally only one country in the world that has a home ref and three home judges for world title fights between a home fighter and a foreigner and it's practically the norm over there, It never happens in any other country in the world. What nationality were the judges tonight?

    And we actually call out the robberies over here when foreigners get robbed,. Check the Brit forum every single time

    I'm still in shock and cannot believe what I just witnessed and this is despite me calling it out hours before.

    Lemos was a clear winner and it wasn't close

    Hitchins should've 100% been DQ'd for excessive holding but not a single point deduction or hard warning all night.

    The ref and all three judges are as corrupt as sin no ifs or buts


    And Hitchins was not only thoroughly exposed he exposed himself as classless POS during his post-fight interview when he had the audacity to say they're going to claim it was a robbery. He said that because he knows damn well it was.

    Unreal. All of them robbed blind in fights they clearly won.

    Waiting for one of the smug hipsters to show up in the morning with one of their nauseating takes saying ''It was close and could've gone either way. I wouldn't be mad if they gave it to Lemos but I had Hitchins just edging it''

    It happens everywhere the ABCs are involved in. Ironically tonight it was a British fellow who set up the event.

    Did anyone in the RBR actually have Hitchins winning it?

    And I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why Hitchins didn't have a single point deducted or a single hard warning for holding a million times when he categorically should've been DQ'd. There is only one answer and it's pure corruption.
