exactly. and no different way to see or score it!

so how in hell can 2 professional 'judges' give multiple more rounds to taylor when there's just no way in hell that you can possibly score them for him whatsoever!?

there's 2 possible answers to that question and both should result in never ever letting those so called 'judges' near a professional boxing ring in any official capacity again.
It is almost like there were no judges at all in the two marquee fights last night. Either there would be a KO or the winner of the last round either earns a draw or wins the fight.
and obviously with premeditated malignant intent to score it for taylor or at least a draw if anyhow possible which lopez by winning the last round that clearly made it impossible for them to follow thru.

but the fix was in.

it's fuckin criminal. insane that there won't be any consequences whatsoever. again.

True.

It makes what Teo accomplished last night all the more impressive.

Kudos to JT for his sportsmanship and avoidance of excuses.

Yeah, this time :roll:
He was full of bull and bluster after he lost to Jack Catterall and got gifted the win. Then dicked Jack around for a year, and then ducked the rematch and thought Teo was the easier route.
Good bloody job.

Sportsmanship is unfortunately a dying part of professional boxing. There are almost always excuses and scapegoats to blame.

I get that but, when an athlete actually demonstrates good sportsmanship and humility, I like to point it out in hopes that it becomes sort of contagious.

That poor decision v Catterall was terrible for Taylor. If the decision had been correct, he could have built off of that disappointment. Instead, he has disintegrated before our eyes.

He should try coming back v Catterall.
