    How did you guys score the fight?

    Looked pretty freakin one sided to me, how the hell anyone could give that fight to Katsidis is absolutely beyond me.

    Should judges like this be banned from the sport in all seriousness?

    Is there really any explanation for having a clear fight SO far wrong?

    I didn't score it too intently but i don't think you could have given Katsidis more than 3 rounds, 3 would be pretty generous.

    One of judges card was a complete joke. The fight wasn't even close.. Diaz dwarfed him..

    Katsidis has a real great attitude and he's very gracious in defeat but as a fighter, I don't think much of him.. He's a lower B level fighter at best.

    Im at work but from memory, watching the fight on a feed, I gave Kat 3 rounds. I think compubox had less than 20% of Kats punches landing while Diaz landed his Jab at will. I think Kellerman said the judges result was beyond incompetent which leads to thoughts of corruption. Crossed my mind anyway, just like the recent Holyfield fight did.

    116-112 or 117-111 Diaz are the only possible scores I could see, it was very clear cut except for one round, I forget which. I think GBP were just trying to keep Kats confidence up while ultimately still giving the victory to the right person. Same thing happened with Diaz vs. Campbell, Nate clearly won but it was a Split Decision.

    Completely unbelievable how a judge can score it for Katsidis. I mean what fight was he really watching? From memory, i think i gave Katsidis no more than 3 rounds. 4 at most.
