    Honestly, fight was way closer than the HBO guys let on, but Walters was the clear winner

    Obv it was a bad decision, but Walters needs to step his game up. The Randall Bailey method isn't always the best option.

    This has just surpassed Brazeale-Kassi as my choice for Worst Decision of 2015.

    HBO is full of ****. That was close. Although Walters did appear to win.

    Sometimes I feel like judges think too hard trying to score a fight.

    Who would you rather be?

    Okay, give it to that guy

    Lederman and Kellerman are correct. A shutout makes a lot more sense than a draw.

    Draw was fair, the HBO commentators just completely ignored everything Sosa was landing while talking about everything but the fight. Compubox is BS and that was a very close fight. You don't give Walters more credit for his punches just because he has a (undeserved) reputation as a puncher. Walters is just average, always has been. The scores against Marriaga were disgraceful.

    Kerry Hope's fight against a Thai has to be the worst of the year, the bout was later RESCORED with all 3 judges giving it to hope 117-111 and officially over-turning the result

    That's the most idiotic way to score a fight I've ever heard. It's a sporting contest with each round to be scored on its own merits.

    Guys you can have a close round with a clear winner, Walters was landing the cleaner, harder shots, he was defending better, he landed more. You can give Sosa three rounds if you were generous at best.
