I guess it's just you & the usa judge,everyone else has good eyesight.

To say they were armpunches and the first 7 rounds were close is hilarious.
it was a one sided beating with many accurate head & body punches.

I can understand if you are a sam fan(explains your headbutt comment) that's why you have the blinkers on.

all sam did was walk forward and was eating up jabs & body shots(even if you think they were soft they are SCORING POINTS)

Didn't score it - was too busy watching and waiting for Sam to kncokout Maskaev with a swift combo....before I realised either Sam can't punch, or Maskaev has a decent chin.
Not that Sam landed too many power punches, as he plodded forward.

Oleg is a nightmare to fight, and you need a good chin on you if you're to beat him. He backs off, hands up, and looks to time his opponents onto a fast hard right counter, or left hook. Reminds me a be a bit of Sanders.
He really crunched Sam over and over again - Sam must've been sick of the inevitable right hand counter as the rounds went by.

Showed a big heart and great chin - but not much else.

It's such a subjective thing, and both fighters were busy in there last night. Overall it was Oleg easy enough in the end, but I can well imagine some of those earlier rounds going Sam's way.

Freiheit called it as he saw it, and turned out to be in line with one of the judges, so it's a good bet others say it that way too.

The right guy got it in the end anyway.

Strange, but I swore it was some of Sam's Turkish fans, leaping up and down, delirious with joy, as he was getting beaten to a pulp over the last few rounds.

Cuban Lion: dont be over critical of someones scoring... especially when they have gone to a lot of time and effort to provide a round by round...

Everyones sees things slightly differently and rest assured Freheit, as always, would have give an un-biased account of things....
