Just sat through the fight replay in full,did anyone think Lebedev won it by 5 or 6 rounds on workrate. I hope were not back to the bad old days of scoring in Germany. I either watched a stitch up or Ive lost it big time ?:yep
I was a bit drunk whilst posting on the RBR thread, however I had 117-111 for Lebedev. there was no German judges last night either.
Thats the scary part of it,Huck barely threw a jab,and rushed Lebedev with hooks and haymakers and expected to win ,raising his hands after the last bell.......
lebedev clearly won by 5 rounds!! last night was a shocking night for boxing, first b hop got robbed now lebedev, frank waren aint gonna be happy!
I had a look at the records of the judges who gave it to Huck. Apart from the fact that they were from Holland and Spain, there wasn't much evidence of them being bent before. The dutch guy was less experienced, but the spanish guy had been judging for 30 years! The only 2 controversial decisions I noticed in there were actually british: Harrison - Polo and Nelson - Jones, both of which he gave to the Brit. So maybe he is a bit of a homer...
you get more than the feeling it s 99% bussiness and 1% sport in germany, they have a bad reputation on the scoring job, i won't buy a fight from germany, as the away fighter has about as much chance of winning as the percentages above, most german fighters are ****, robots with gloves on.
