I would have only gone 10/9. Rocky had good parts in the middle of the round but he was lucky the round didn't go any longer. Definitely worth a case for 10/8 but just by watching that round on my phone, I wouldn't have went that wide. Good action packed round. Butters is a strong, good fighter.

Yeah Foxy, but as you know, scoring blow is a punch landed on the scoring part of the body, such being neither deflected nor partially blocked and Rocky's punches didn't quite meet that.

I think, in next fight of significance, I'll recruit 3 registered judges from different State, who are willing to view the fight via Stream/TV and SMS their score after each round and see how they see it. I'll only declare their final score, location & not name them.

Yeah I see your point. I've been doing some judging in the amateurs, and if the fighter wins the round clearly, they advise you to score 10/8. I know it's the same in the pros. I still would have went 10/9 but can understand anyone scoring it 10/8.

Full fight at around the 4hr 19 min mark. Buttigeig is like a little pitbull great fight.

Thanks for posting Goosey.
Shocking scoring from all three judges, especially Tony Marretta with 113-115.
Would have been a travesty if Jerkic had wound up getting the decision.
Butters deserved at least 116-112 on all three cards.
Anyone's guess where Rocky goes from here.

Anthony Buttigieg's thoughts on his Commonwealth Title win :

“People are calling it an upset, but my team and myself never saw the fight that way, I beat him convincingly.”

“It wasn’t an upset in my eyes – I felt he just crumbled under the pressure – I was surprised. He had a great record with twelve knockouts and I was conscious of that. But from the first round, I felt in control. There was just no point in the fight where I felt worried at all.”

“I felt he had a bit of power when he clipped me around the ears in round one and I thought he was quite strong. But I kept my defence up and stayed on my game, stuck to my plan and it worked. After the fight, I felt like I won ten of the twelve rounds.”

“Both the rounds he won were because I had a rest. I just don’t feel like he was ever in control of the fight at any stage.”

“I was disappointed with the decision. I’m not angry, I’m just a bit disappointed. That’s my fifth split decision now in my career and I think most of them I was winning, but I’m not going to complain about it.”

“In the end I got what I came for and got the win.”

“I definitely want to defend the title and keep going.”

The bottom line is something got to be done with these type of judge's its about the integrity of the game who would want to be a professional fighter get brain damage and robbed by idiot's

I watched the first 9 rounds only and scored it 89-83 Buttigieg (7-1-1). I thought Jerkic had enough moments in the 8th to make it 10-9 rather than 10-8.

So Buttigieg would win 116-113 on my card even if all the remaining rounds went against him 10-9.

After watching again, I came up with 117/112

Agree but at least the right guy got the nod.

what now Rocky ??

Buttigieg outclassed and exposed Jerkic big time. Anybody that applies constant pressure to Jerkic will beat him wide.
