Who give a fornicate about the decision, they are both shit so calm down you internet nerds. You're not gonna change fornicate all.

What you should be more concerned about is that apart from a handful elite fighters, the quality of British boxing is crap.

Don't be surprised if it is off air completely in 18 months.

Glad I don't come on here often coz you'd anoraks would be stressing me out.

.Take a chill pill, open a tin of stella and go out and get a bird after all it is only a sport not life or death

if you had dedicated 15 years of your life to win a british title, only to be on the wrong end of a bad decision then you would probably think differently..

I increasingly think that the only reason the BBBofC don't allocate 3 judges to British Title fights is purely down to money, I can't think of any other reason.

What we must ask ourselves is would three judges come up with a different winner? :-?

Maybe, but maybe not. Judges get influenced by partisan crowds just as much as a referee would.

You can't single out a few bad decisions and say the system is not working. What about all the other results our ref's deliver that do come up with the correct winner?

I would wager a high percentage of verdicts given by lone referee's are widely accepted as correct. By and large they do a good job.

I think thats a good rule if its intentional then he gets disqualified if its an accidental clash of heads then its accidental and the one that cant continue has lost simple as..

So let me get this straight. You're winning the fight on points, head's come together, and you get cut, you're opponent wins. That makes sense to you does it? :roll:

Why not just make headbutting legal by that reasoning, if cutting your opponent with your head is a legitimate part of the sport, then may as well go the whole hog.

At least in the states it goes to the scorecards, or if it is under 4 rounds, it's either a technical draw or no contest depending on jurisdiction.
