Interesting that when the poll agreed with you it was fine.
Once you didn't agree with the poll it must be crooked.
Brilliant logic

It's an internet poll, large groups of people can get on at anytime and cast their votes all at once which can sway the overall result in a matter of seconds.

I really like Shafikov. Tough little dude. But, he did not win this fight. He made it close but he did not do enough to get the win.

My 115-113 score is very generous to Shafikov. I just cannot see an objective way to get him that win. That said, 120-108 x 2 is ridiculous. Those judges should be investigated.

1. 10-9 E
2. 10-9 E
3. 10-9 E
4. 9-10 S (very close)
5. 9-10 S
6. 9-10 S (close)

115-113 Easter

I only watched it once.

Easter is a good fighter. Tougher than I expected. Does not mind the inside stuff. Love to see him v Linares.

To those who consistently want to give fighters extra points for walking forward - grow up, this is boxing. Just following your opponent around the ring catching leather is not an attribute.

I would like to see Shafikov v Zlaticanin.

You're done. Stop scoring fights right now!

Trollzio/Tanzero - Why must you be on the wrong side of every debate? Aggressiveness has to be in the scoring calculation. If both fighters were backpeddling/running away where would that leave us? Furthermore Shafikov wasn't catching leather. He was giving more than receiving.

Crooked boxing.

So in one second a large block of votes suddenly came in all for Easter and switched the poll around?
