    the fight, "before" the fight ended! I have to agree with his scoring, I also agree with Harold Ledermann's card, except I had Collazo winning by a larger margin. The best judges money can buy?! I am getting tired of boxing being crooked. Judges should be investigated, esp., the one who had 116-111, shows how crooked he was! Anyone else hear Berto's father?

    I feel sorry for Collazo, he beat Berto, everyone knows it, but criminal judges did their crime tonight.

    That means nothing. Trainers do this all the time just to get a reaction and prevent them throwing away the last round - but a bit risky if you ask me.

    Wouldn't just say it for the sake of it, could get knocked out going for the knockout.

    I had money on Collazo in this fight, but still scored it for Berto


    Berto won fair and square.

    When I heard the score from the first judge of 116-111, I thought for sure that Collazo received the nod. Yes, Berto came on strong at the very end, but I thought he was too far behind at that point. Bad decision by the judges.

    I watched the whole thing, basically, but I thought Berto won. I didn't score it technically, but I did think the point deduction would be the undoing of Berto.

    Always makes me laugh when people use this, "X said his fighter needed a knockout to win! This is evidence of the robbery". First of all, he could be lying and not really believe that, but at the same time know that it's close and want his fighter to finish the last round out strong and give nothing away. Secondly, even if he feels he's telling the truth, that is still just ONE person's opinion... and not just one person, but one person in a very high intensity position who is more susceptible to being emotionally charged and not thinking clearly.

    It means absolutely zero.

    Well said. This was no robbery at all. Very close fight.

    If Collazo was robbed against Hatton this was defo a robbery..

    But I scored it for Hatton, thought a draw was fair here, would have seen Berto edge it not for the point taken off.
