    That's what got me so upset as well. Pabon was looking at Paro like he would if Paro had been seriously hurt. It was ridiculous.

    The problem is that it is a "culture" thing. I mean, it happens since early amateur. Everybody thinks it is OK, everybody does it, everybody accepts it and it is not regarded as a corrupted deed. Everybody knows that referees are always more lenient with the hommie fighter. Everybody. It is widely accepted. Even the fighter who is suffering this kind of injustice accepts it because tomorrow the hommie fighter will be him.

    Yes. The deck is usually stacked against non-American boxers fighting in the USA and non-British boxers fighting in the UK as well. I've seen foreign boxers robbed many times in the USA and UK in the past 20 years, Kovalev-Ward I (dodgy judges) and II (dishonest referee).

    There needs to be neutral officials. They should never have a referee from one of the boxers' home countries refereeing a world title fight.

    He was a disgrace.

    he kept tapping to the back of his head and looking at Paro suggesting he was hitting behind the head, I never saw him hit behind the head once. Still don't know what the **** he was doing the dumb *******. The fight was clean throughout.

    Even Matias was like bro, get the **** out the way.

    Rules are rules man !! leniency leads to the corruption we have today. We all know that if any Floyd or Canelo fight was in Vegas they were not going to be allowed to lose regardless.
    I was bored & saw a tape of Floyd - Maidana 1 , watched it again Now that was a travesty . Maidana roughed Floyd up & beat him up ,BUT His Vegas judges awarded Floyd a "winning" decision. Just one of several he received. Castillo was another. Floyd knew himself he lost both.

    He was clearly looking after Usyk in the Dubious & AJ bouts

    He told AJ to keep punches up after a clear legal bodyshot was landed and the Dubious bodyshot...was a bodyshot.

    He was helping Paro all night by letting him hold like crazy.
