    Lol Shu Shu got exposed pretty badly. Inoue’s liver shots would stop him

    Terrible stoppage - referee is obviously dishonest. Bell was pushed down, and he stops the fight?

    Those judges cards are awful. As someone who watches a lot of boxing I never heard of these guys. 107-102 Mason twice!!!! I looked at Boxrec and these guys mostly score short fights. WTF was that

    DAZN had it close, as did all the publications who post scorecards

    Does anyone agree with Mason being so out in front

    It was real close. Mason needed that KD to win, imo.

    this corruption nonsense is really bugging me. I love the sport but wtf is the point of watching when blatant corruption is going on with scoring and reffing. Ugh.

    I had it 6-4 when I went to sleep. Probably 7-4 if I stayed up

    Carrington was booed out of the arena after stinking out the place, getting dropped and almost stopped with a bodyshot against a complete nobody. No wonder he's ducking all the other belt holders at 126.

    It’s all corrupt outside of Nevada..

    the new WBC rules of announcing the judge scorecards, that’s kinda interesting. I like it.

    Shame to see a technical stoppage sour a decent high level fight.

    Fight of two halves but I felt Mason was in control. It was a good performance by Mason who seemed comfortable switching gameplan, showing maturity beyond his years- solid bodywork paid dividends, dragging the fight out to the later rounds. Bell was in survival mode and was ready to fall.

    Mason showing shades of Erroll Spence in there. I had Mason ahead.

    Official scorecards seem a bit wide though - 106-103, 107-102, 107-102 — at the time of the finish.

    I don't know, when you're getting knocked all over the ring and doing repeated stanky legs against Cacace, which granted I predicted, I'm not sure he'd be able to stand up to Mason's bombs. Cordina has spent his entire career at Brit level, which has unfortunately worn him down to a nub. Going the distance with that scrub Flores and losing rounds to him, that's just flat out embarrassing.

    To be fair Cordina looked drained as hell against Cacace, and aren't Rakhimov, Vasquez and Ogawa above Brit level? And a win is still a win and he beat Flores. Cordina is a little underrated.

    True, whilst Mason is shot to bits at just 22 y/o after a 12 round war up at Brit Level, Cordina has been shot to bits after a lifetime spent up at Brit Level which should come with a government health warning

    To be fair, Frampton famously once said that Cacace is the hardest puncher he's ever shared a ring with and I know other fighters have said he hits really hard too. His hideous KO36% might be one of the world's greatest mysteries

    Well, based on that, I did predict Cacace would knock Joe out.:D He has a tendency to holster that power until he feels like he absolutely needs it. I figured Joe would push him hard and force him to unleash it. It's a pity it's only the Fire Signs with balls of steel that push Anto, like Cordina the Sag and Leigh Wood the Leo. Thus far, only Jazza the Aries has been able to stand up to it.:sisi1 Who seems to have no expiration date.:lol:
