    There's no round besides the 5th that I could see making even a flimsy case for Suárez. :nusenuse:

    How the **** do these judges get licensed? What kind of tests do they have to pass?
    This ridiculous.
    I get that one can have a off night and the ringside angle can be a *****... but come on!
    :lol: How can one judge see the fight so differently?

    The judges hate Shafikov for whatever reason I guess. Robbed him against Alvarado, cards were WAY too wide against Easter Jr.(actually a very competitive fight) He's an incredible talent but is always the b-side and can never catch a break. Will be a real shame if this guy can never pick up a major strap.

    I thought the Alvarado fight was fair.
    And wasnt Shafikov himself rather fortunate vs Commey?

    Shafikov clearly won even with the BS knockdown. and no. He won that fight rather clearly.

    Always the b-side and he doesn't fit the stereotypical mold people subconsciously expect of a Russian boxer - falling into either of two distinct and diametrically opposed categories: the smasher blocking punches with his face, ie the Ivan Drago/Ruslan Provodnikov/Magomed Abdusalamov/Dmitry Kudryashov type; or the more technical & mobile point-scoring, arm-punching stylist like Andrey Klimov or Dmitry Mikhaylenko. What some people (read: casuals, ie 90% of boxing fans) don't realize in their little pea brains is that most top-level pro boxers from Russia have a hybridized style that lands somewhere in the middle, like Gassiev or Kovalev or Lebedev, from years of having to hone some versatility stylistically just to disintguish themselves from all the chaff in the very deep Russian amateur program. If you aren't on that elite tier, however, and/or don't have major promotional backing and high visibility, fans & judges are inclined to prejudge Russian boxers as needing to fit in either of those aforementioned typecasts. So you put a skilled body-snatching pressure fighter like Shafikov in front of them and he doesn't receive a fraction of the credit he would if he were American. They assume he's either trying and failing to be a technical boxer and just shitting the bed defensively, or they view him as some wannabe KO artist with too little power to end a contest in one blow and and too low a workrate to quite be a swarmer.

    Bohachuk vs. Berumen, for anybody that missed it (and doesn't want to sift through Loeffler's stream of the whole card on Facebook to find it):

    I passed out before the Shafikov fight started. Is that around?

    Sadly, no, it appears to be nowhere to be found online, searching with neither Cyrillic not Latin characters. :nusenuse:

    edit: never mind, I just checked and you can still watch the whole card on the link in the OP (figured you had tried it already before asking)
