It's pretty crazy that anyone would 1) Give AJ the first round 2) Have Usyk only a single round up going into the 12th But Foster has long been suspect with Hearn. I'm just glad there was no robbery, it could have been MUCH MUCH worse!
Here's JUDGE HOWARD FOSTERS Scorecard for Joshua vs. Usyk: R1: 10-9 Joshua R2: 10-9 Joshua R3: 10-9 Usyk R4: 10-9 Usyk R5: 10-9 Joshua R6: 10-9 Joshua R7: 10-9 Usyk R8: 10-9 Joshua 77-75 JOSHUA after 8 ROUNDS R9: 10-9 Usyk 86-85 JOSHUA after 9 ROUNDS R10: 10-9 Usyk 95-95 even after 10 ROUNDS R11: 10-9 Usyk R12: 10-9 Usyk 115-113 USYK after 12 ROUNDS WHAT A DISGUSTING PIECE OF ****. He had Joshua WINNING the fight after 9 rounds like i said it earlier. He really had. This is an absolute joke. This guy needs to be banned from all judging activities ASAP. He was just shifting rounds until Usyk really put it on the Bodybuilder in the last quarter. It's basically...i have the guy winning and will decide LATE if i can keep that up or have to change it because it would be too obvious that i wasn't really watching the fight. Howard Foster is a corrupt POS. No question about that. Thank good Usyk is a smart fighter and knew it. Spread it into the world....call him out.... The boxing judge HOWARD FOSTER is corrupt.
For the sake of argument a lot of people had it 3-3 after the first 6 but most had Usyk up 4-2. Round 8 was an AJ round so thats 4 rounds in the bank. Another close round going to AJ thus him losing 115-113 isnt out of the realm of possibilities but best you could do for him if lookibg for rounds. I feel 116-112 was the fair score, clear win for Usyk. Luckily the right guy won.
I am in front of the DAZN stream. The bell rings at exactly 05:02:16 into the night broadcast to start the 12th and it rings exactly at 05:05:16 to finish it. TV personnel operate the TV clock not officials, hence the regular disconnect between shown and actual time. Which is why TV usually doesn't show the count in the last seconds. They are not controlling the fight time, the timekeeper does. He rang it at exactly 3:00.
Is there a purpose you posted this TV clip right after I explained how the TV clock was off by several seconds?
Look at the thumbnail image haha! Usyk is so slick he got in front of the TV clock. No wonder AJ couldn't find him.
Of course he is. There are probably judges who are even worse than him. But as i said in the beginning i like to call them out if there is a reason to do so. The WWW never forgets. If people search for Howard Foster they'll find this - maybe. And they see that he's a corrupt POS. Will it change the world? Of course not. But still...this is disgusting and needs to be addressed.
Nah. It's the score I had and I was rooting for and did an avatar bet in favor of Usyk. 120 to 108 is a wretched fanboy score. Don't be a wretched fanboy.
Fair enough but you're just a boxing fan sitting in front of your TV and scoring a fight. If you score it 4-4 after 8 it's bad. But if the guy who is paid to judge boxing fights scores it 5-4 Joshua after 9 it's not bad...it's corrupt.
