    Maybe they were going to give Takam those scores as a nice gesture/favor since he took the fight with almost 10 days notice?

    YouTube Video to expose this further.:thumbsup: People should see it. That was a good catch. Why in the hell did those scorecards pop up like that?!

    And it obviously wasn’t a scorecard from a past Joshua fight either. So that’s off the table. ****ing boxing and it’s corruption.

    Takam was on his way out..but the fight should have went on even if it was ending.Give the fighter a chance.

    U.k refs need to toughen up...this is boxing,we know your guy is going to win,why rob him of a LEGIT finish? Dumb.

    honestly something needs to be done with this it seems to be a probelm over there...otherwise its a great place to fight..!

    Also, just wanna put this out there:

    Did anyone else see this who watched it on showtime? I just rewatched, I think the graphic was up for less than 1.5 seconds. Easy to miss.

    PS: Just watched again, definitely less than 2 seconds.

    It is going to re-air on showtime very soon. This graphic shows up when michael buffer is announcing the judges names before the fight. (this is before the fight starts and joshua and takam have already entered ring) Sort of think they might edit it out though. I'll try to make a video.

    Very weird. Those scorecards are very generous to Takam.

    If it was a mistake then you have to wonder what kind of mistake is that? Very suspect.

    What I mean is - how do they explain what thats all about? Because it looks like just as you said, pre made scoring cards. Thing is Joshua didnt need it.

    I agree he didn't need it. But it almost makes it seem like they maybe thought he did, as a little insurance policy just in case the fight was closer than expected and went the distance. I just think it would be nice for showtime to give an explanation.

    True they are. It is just so weird though. I can't even begin to fathom how you screw up something like that. Bizarre. I love how quickly it pops up and goes away though LOL:

    Another "British Stoppage." These are getting ridiculous.

    Yes you're right,if th Docs ok'd it then why would the ref step in,it's not like Eubanks v Blackwell a one sided beat down,don't wanna see anyone get hurt but this is boxing and the refs should try and ensure a natural ending or at least have a look see,ask the fighter in question,even tell him "you gotta show me something"anything but what we got tonight as I reckon Takam felt robbed,AJ felt robbed of a KO and the fans got robbed

    Nice work :thumbsup: I bet they’ll be sure to edit out that little mishap when they show the replay of the fight. Lol
