Time and time again Boxing shoots itself in the foot with cards like this one, controversial endings and Horrible scoring, seems like UFC has a grip on fight scoring why cant boxing.

Boxing is the ONLY sport i think a message board could run better than the current power structure.

I'm not watching, unfortunately. Is the production value of this card as good as the Triller production of Paul/Askren?
