    It always amuses me when people push that narrative. It's like when we're told fights could of gone either way on the cards when it reality there was only one fighter in the running to get a decision in the fight.

    When will you guys realize its not JUST the judges fault for the ludicrous scorecards. Its the promoters & State Commissions too. If the judges want to keep getting prime assignments they must " toe the line" so to speak.
    Have you seen any judge or referee called up to explain their actions by the Commission ??? The only one I remember was CJRoss who was fired for her 114-114 card in the Floyd fight. She didnt score Floyd the cash cow thats why. Yet Adelaide Byrd's equally ludicrous 118-110 FOR the cash cow Canelo. Bennett the NSAC top honcho just laughed & said
    "Adelaide is one of my best judges she just had a bad night"
    Can you spell Vegas corruption ??????

    Judges in UK and USA are mostly corrupt.

    I'm not kidding when I truly believe that the judging in Russia is the fairest at the moment.

    I'm not going to applaud someone for doing their job properly, but it's a pleasant enough feeling to have a fair scorecard for the away fighter after so much hometown bias over the years.

    Now, if we can sort out our referees that'd be something...

    Judging and reffing in Russia is actually really good comparatively speaking. At least in the major cities. Places like Chechnya can be dodgy as f***.

    Agreed. Props to the judges yesterday for being fair.

    In Las Vegas, no foreign-born boxer would be treated fairly by officials when fighting an American boxer.

    I remember Kovalev-Ward I, Brewster-Meehan and many many more.
