    Brian Custer just said during the replay of it that the KD was maybe a little push as well. The replay showed it was the clearest push you'll ever see. You shameless snake :facepalm:

    That may very well be one of the top 5 blatant ref shenanigans I've ever seen, even top 3. Bute being saved will always be #1 but this is right there.

    No knockdown, no punches landed during the "stoppage sequence", that needs to be protested and reset as a no-contest

    Weeks screwed kovalev in his second fight with Ward. He’s dirty.

    Damn, just when the fight was getting good too. Romero was walking in, landed some good shots before the push "kd", Barosso was catching him coming in, this fight was far from over. They toy with Barosso's effort (most had him ahead) and career & also screw paying fans out of the fight. What a let down.

    It was an opportunity to rescue Romero and Weeks seized it, he was going to lose a UD. He's bought and paid for . Geez!! just when I think I've seen the worst corruption ever boxing supplies another.

    Having watched almost any televised card in the last 12 years I've seen a lot of unfair reffing, clear favoritism of the A-side and even outright corruption but this has to take the cake as the most blatant one, there have to be consequences

    I feel like even Howard Foster would call that premature. Say what you will about him but at least the fighters are actually getting hit when he calls it.

    There's zero ambiguity about it. The fix was in from the get-go. That's as clear a case of corruption as can be and we all knew it was operation get Rolly a title by any means necessary as soon as the fight was sanctioned.
