    Nobody would have argued if it was 9-3 Maxi so how one judge gets it completely the other way is baffling. What are they seeing that everyone else isn’t :lol:

    Hopefully there’s a rematch.

    How on earth was that a final eliminator for the IBF belt, with all of the amazing talent in the division waiting?
    Yet another bad decision for the house boxer.
    Kambo’ continues, in his delusional state of mind.
    Ringside Loma and Stevenson, must have been shaking their heads in bewilderment!

    Terrible decision. Maxi has been a favourite of mine since beating Jono Carroll, hopefully he gets another opportunity at world level next. No need to step down in levels now

    I thought Shakur was good when he was interviewed and asked for his opinion afterwards. Told it like it is.

    Hopefully if Haney moves up he can get himself in a position to fight for one of the belts in the next 18 months or so. His rankings with the governing bodies shouldn’t be affected too much.

    If Top Rank have a shred of decency (ha!) they should sign Maxi for some profile fights.

    I just watched the fight on the Sky box. Another dark chapter in the boxing history with judges having difficulty seeing what is going on in front of their eyes. Embarrassing.

    That 117-111 scorecard was laughable.

    Maxi won that fight, it was a terrible fight but he boxed Kambosos ears off all night....Kambosos did nothing, very disappointed in him.

    Go back to Australia and never show your face again.

    This is why you really need to have knockout power in your arsenal so you will not get jobbed on the scorecards like this.

    I put in a post about a week ago that he was never going to get the nod in this one. It is a shame.

    Hughes was robbed of a great win last night and it's a bloody shame. I don't find it hard to believe this result was a genuine fix by Top Rank to still have Kambosos as a viable opponent with name value of his own for their other lightweights like Keyshawn Davis or Shakur. Gutted for Hughes, he seems like a good guy with great attitude and professionalism.
