    They were on the side of the ring that a judge wasn't watching from (as is always the case where the promoters sit) so they have no point of reference or comparison. I respect their opinion by my original point stands, unless you watched the fight from the same position as a judge you can't really accurately comment on their card.

    They are paid to do a job, when they do a job not so well they deserve criticisms, disciplined or be fired. Not untouchable.

    I can.....them cards were a JOKE and obviously swayed/based on a very hostile crowd who were standing,breathing down the judges neck...

    UK score cards are now the worst in the World imo...well at least in Europe

    They used to say in Germany/Italy you needed a ko to get a draw but some of the cards in UK over last few years are actually criminal

    Boxing is subjective and obviously the angles you watch the fight from will influence whether you think the odd punch lands here or there

    But there's no excuse for the judges to have the fight so wide, especially the 119-108 card. It's either sheer incompetence or corruption.
