What happened? Was it not as one sided as the scores indicate?

[AntonS]

He was penalized 1pt for holding, but even so IMO he deserved better than that. Was constantly on the attack & had Mitchell backpedaling fair bit of time.
It was hardly a walk in the park.

Who were the Judges?

[AntonS]

judge: Paul Le 100-90 | judge: Lynne Kennedy 100-90 | judge: Andrew Campbell 99-91

Maybe, main events should go on midway, while judges care still awake & not way past 10.30pm

Why was an OPBF title fight only over 10 rounds?

10 or 12 is allowed these days, because most other regional titles are contested over 10

[Boxing Prospect]

I know it's allowed, just feels wrong, it's supposed to be a stepping stone to a world title fight, not a freaking third tier belt

OPBF is no longer what it was once upon a time - road to possible WBC world title...as was Commonwealth title, which unfortunately has also fallen into less important bracket.

Least they were all close. I seen a split draw in Toowoomba and one judge had it 40-36 and one had it 40-36 the other way. Probably ended up the right decision but 2 judges shouldn't be that far out.

Possibly yet another case, where judges didn't focus on what they considerd underdog. If they did, I'm sure their score would be somewhat different

" one judge had it 40-36 and one had it 40-36 the other way "
I recall same happening in Adelaide. One judge was totally different to other 2. After 2 rounds, I (recorder on the night) promptly approached him I asked him to name boxers........He had them mixed up - both were making their debut & was unfamiliar with them.

Its not as if this bias judging just begun
