Scores indicate so. Congrats to both of them. 47 minutes in the ring is a frigging long time

Was the fight as one-sided as the cards suggest?

Because on his weakest card he won by three rounds?

I suspect he thinks it's an interesting score card because it was a fekkin totally one-sided bout and nothing like 115 - 112 suggests.

We have been through this before. The judges sit on different sides of the ring. They do not all see the fight the same way.

Mmmmmmmm, I was there Brute and it was a one-sided affair no matter where anyone was sitting.
The guy who turned in that score card has no idea what he was seeing and ought to have his snout removed from the trough.

Maybe he just needs a new optical prescription.

There was no way the fight was as close as the 115-112 judge scored it (not to forget the Mexican also had a point deducted)
Billy won atleast 10 rounds imo.

The important thing is he won. Damn Fox for not televising it.

Great performance by all accounts. Congrats to Billy and his camp, hopefully we have some good defences down under before he heads off to the US.
I believe AURORA will be televising the fight in the coming weeks.

Billy Dib has been reported as saying that he would like to fight Chris John next. Does this raise the possibility of a "super fight" in our region?

You cannot call yourself a champion if you won't fight the best, can you? Dib is prepared to fight the best.

just think he should gain more experience fighting a couple of guys ranked high before fighting the guy ranked highest.
