    Exactly we have seen this time & time again, one recently being in the fight with Haney covering almost every round but the Judges still somehow managed to give Kamboso's far too many rounds he didn't deserve, you see it all the time especially in the forgotten undercard fights,

    With the right Man being awarded the winner usually makes people dismiss the judges score cards & it's forgotten in due time, even the media in the Pressers rarely question this Subject as the End justifies the Means.

    It is undeniable and known that in boxing, the local champion or the cash cow will be favored with the judges. We have a ton of examples.
    In France alone, Bakole recently almost took a draw against Yoka when he should have had an 8-point lead.

    And for your example from Australia, Horn had a house decision against Pacquiao in 2017.

    "Usyk was the clear winner", your words... 115-113 on one of the cards. It was 117-111 at BEST for AJ.


    Go and watch the Ruiz fight again, after 6 rounds one judge had AJ in front... I mean WTF.


    The idea of AJ getting a dodgy decision/gift is completely understandable, we have seen Matchroom fighters get some outrageous gifts in the past, some absolutely disgusting ones too.

    Also remember Hearn/Matchroom and DAZN are right on the edge, they can't afford AJ losing and I believe Usyk will need a stoppage to get a win.

    And I'll think he will get it.

    Howard fosters card says it all
    Aj will definitely get the decision if he can legit win 4 rounds

    Thankfully he is useless compared to Usyk, who can clearly go through the gears if required

    If Aj actually takes the fight to usyk it will be out of the judges hands, as I expect Usyk to pummel him into submission

    He arguably won 4 rounds in the last fight. I had it 9-3. He lost 8-4 on 2/3 cards. It was a fair enough score.

    It wasn't a one sided shut down, but Usyk was clearly better.

    IFFF professional boxing turned into Usyk's first and only defeat, it would be a robbery. And that AJ then has Usyk in his resume with robbery; then I will casually stop following professional boxing, and stop being a boxing fan; without looking back.

    I'll be perfectly honest..I thought Usyk would win the first fight but would get shafted my post history is completely consistent in this respect.
    Now I did think it would be more competitive than it was. my reasoning was that Joshua was the cash cow and not like Canelo being based on a pattern formed by previous results but merely being the home fighter.
    With that being said as I've posted in multiple threads before if the rematch is more competitive even by a round or two more than the first I think Joshua will get the nod.
    In fact it makes more logical sense to shaft Usyk on the rematch than on the first fight.
    We will have to see what happens but for me the rematch has more possible outcomes than the majority think.

    They're worried that Usyk is going to get knocked out, thats it. He got a UD in the UK with a packed stadium all screaming for AJ and he looked like he took more damage based on their faces, 3 judges all for Usyk. Robberies rarely happen in boxing

    Boxing will be better off if Joshua wins. Financially, PR, the whole package.
    And if Joshua doesn't come just to spar, he can win rather straight forward.
    If he comes to spar like last time. Roll up the tent the circus is over.

    AJ has been hated on insanely because of a few comments he made that were not racist at all but it freaked out a bunch of male and female Karens. If he'd acted like Joe Louis, he would've been treated like Joe Louis probably. But you don't have to do that anymore. So, sorry, Karens.

    Why are people worried about a robbery...because boxing. That's why.

    Boxing is full of corrupt decisions and we have come to expect it.

    With the huge money Joshua Fury fight in the wings, there are hundreds of millions of reasons for fans to be suspicious. This is boxing and corruption is baked into the cake. The first fight was not close, it was a one sided affair to everyone but the judges at ringside. It’s understandable this one could be headed towards a suspect decision in AJs favor.

    Boxing matches with a lot less on the line are often on the receiving end of suspect or even robbery level decisions by the judges. I don’t blame fans for at least questioning the objectivity of the judges this time. Heck, I don’t trust boxing judges these days under the best of circumstances.
