Not only that, they even control the press it seems. One fool said to Mell, i had you winning 116-112 do you think bla bla bla. Nobody suggested he was lucky to get the win, they don't want to get banned from future press conferences. Once the judges lie about the results, then the trainer has to lie, Charlo and his bro have to lie or he will look ungrateful. Uncle Al is the reason they have those huge homes. Even Charlo's wife lies and pretends her husband won. It's really sick to witness.
He didn't win 8 to 9 rounds "fairly easily", and winning that many rounds doesn't translate to dominating somebody. You've done this before. You concluding rounds are won "easily" that could go either way then do not show a willingness to debate them. The fawning outrage over every decision is getting old. What we have here is a close fight with several swing rounds that depending on how you score them determine who wins. Pulling for the underdog is cool and all, but you need to be able to stay objective when scoring a match. Just because you dislike a fighter or want to see the underdog win, that can't be the basis of your scoring criteria. Tell that to the judges who had it 114-114 114-113 and 117-111 Jermell. That's how they scored it and I have no problem with the draw. Now I've agreed about the 117-111 being too wide, so I don't know what more I can do to satisfy the haters. This will haunt me? What exactly will haunt me? What am I arguing? That the result wasn't a robbery? Good close fight, that's what I watched. You must have watched something a different. A "domination"? Please, you wanna argue Castaño won, go ahead, but don't get crazy and start calling it a domination. It wasn't a domination. You know that, I know that, everybody knows that.
Exactly! The poor score card got everybody in an uproar. Like u said, if it was scored 115-113 instead of 117-111, then people wouldn't be saying robbery.
A guy who beat Spence and beat Derevyanchenko in the amateurs shouldn't have much trouble with Mell, and he didn't. Mell did have the power to hurt Castano, but Castano had the power to hurt Mell as well.
I did predict that Castano would win a 8-4 kind of fight and get robbed and that is exactly what happend. I will say i really enjoyed the fight because i knew Mell could hurt Castano, but as long as Castano fought smart and aggressive he would win because he is better at what he does than Mell.
90% of the fans have Castano winning, so a draw is never going to work. Castano is the true Champ, the peoples Champ.
I get what you're saying, 154 does have a lot of fighters fighting each other on a regular basis but most of them have some pretty visible chinks in the armor which stops them from being exceptional .
But he’s not though…you don’t get to just make up the results you like. That’s not how any of this works.
I actually had those fights reversed when I scored them. I had Jermall losing to Korobov but Jermell edging out a close decision over Harrison. I’m pretty sure those two fights were right after the other on the same card. I think I scored the Jermell fight 7-5 and the Jermall fight 6-5 for Korobov with one round even.
I thought Charlo would use his physical advantages and box, he looked to me like he was trying to knock out Castano by landing a big shot rather than box and if the KO comes it comes.
