    ****, we're at 50% acceptable scoring so far today through four divisional final matches. (with Iglesias over Berinchyk and Campbell over Nevin both scored properly, while Shiming over Pongprayoon and Murata over Falcao Florentino were both bungled).


    That doesn't make me feel exactly warm and tingly about Usyk's chances of a fair shake against Russo if he doesn't knock him out. :nonono

    Not sure I want to see the next fight. God I can't stand Russo. For years. But he wins fights.

    I say USABoxing gives $100 million to the AIBA in exchange for 10 golds in 16!

    Some idiot was trying to claim Inglesias was a undersized 64KG fighter and belonged at 60Kg. He's a head taller than everyone else and looks like a WW lol

    Russo is the AIBA poster-boy. He will probably cost me big money on back to back days now.

    He and his brother Yamaguchi. :good

    (Who, btw, the commentators explained actually has no Japanese blood. Their father named him for his sensei.)

    Mate you had Florentino up by 1 point, you'd have to be super confident in your scoring ability to claim that a 2 point swing is unacceptable scoring.

    Have you not been watching?

    The bull**** penalization makes it more than a 2-point swing.

    My base score is 14-11 to Falcao Florentino.

    I always honor the referee's official rulings (ie for knockdown determinations, deductions for fouls) when scoring pro bouts whether they seem reasonable to me or not, and so approached this the same way. I felt it was a needless caution but still added 2 points to Murata's score going along with convention under this scoring system.
