DAZN: Abdullah Mason vs. Albert Laron Bell & Bruce Carrington vs. René Osvaldo Palacios RBR.

Just caught up on this one! Jeezo that was a terrible stoppage!

 

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

 

Wtf was that stoppage?

 

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.

 

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.
