Gary Antuanne Russell VS Andy Hiraoka

They robbed that Japanaian brother blind. He was fighting GAR, the ref, the commentary team, and jetlag and he still took GAR to slick school

Once again they stacked the deck with a home ref and three home judges

Glenn Feldman - 116-111 GAR
Jack Reiss - 116-111 GAR
Steve Weisfeld - 117-110 GAR

I would say those scorecards are unbelievable but it's totally believable and predictable

Shortly before the fight I heard Shakur argue that GAR should be ranked #2 or #3 at 140 with him (Shakur) being ranked #1. I also saw numerous fans acting outraged by The Ring ranking Dalton Smith at #2 at 140 after he knocked out Matias, complaining that GAR or Hitchins should be ranked above him

Of course there was no justification for either being ranked above him given how Smith literally travelled over to ''the Boogieman'' Matias' backyard who was ranked #2 and not only beat him on a deck stacked against him but knocked him out.

That's the same Matias who beat the guy who took GAR to slick school and who Hitchins ducked like crazy despite the fact Matias was the champ and got Paro to do his dirty work for him which he was too much of a female dog to try and do himself.

And that's the same Hitchins who then ducked fighting the champ Paro in his backyard and who got his ass whooped by Lemos on his own soil on a deck stacked in his favour only for the corrupt home ref to allow him to hold to an insane degree all night without, ever so predictably, deducting a single point for him from doing so, the home commentary team to craft a completely fictitious narrative from the get-go that Hitchins was outboxing him which even by the end of the fight, as biased as they were, they could no longer keep up the charade Hitchins was doing so and didn't deserve to lose but ever so predictably these were the scorecards from the three home judges

Tim Cheatham - 117-111 Hitchins
Max DeLuca - 115-113 Hitchins
Steve Weisfeld - 115-113 Hitchins

You could literally count the number of people who had Hitchins winning that one one hand and still have fingers left over

And to add insult to injury, Hitchins then pulled another huge duck and ducked Duarte the day of the fight

So the real rankings at 140 now should be

1. Shakur
2. Smith
And then maybe at 3 Hiraoka

Also, given that #9 Sandor Martin clearly beat Teo but was predictably robbed (and Ortiz did too) and was robbed vs Puello he should be ranked above Teo, Hitchins, GAR.
