What a fornicating robbery that was. Shocking judging in favour of a Boxbuzz fighter.... You'd think that after all these years someone would investigate decisions like that. Two judges gave Gibbons round 4, ffs.

[BoxBuzz]

While it is true the judges accepted my offer of luxurious accommodations on the GBP yacht on the evenings immediately preceding the fight, I doubt it had any impact whatsoever to do with their independent and sincere judgment.

Cmon Moore was grabbin' and holdin' too much in round 4 and the "accidental" head buttin thing don't fly with good judges it cost him when it counted....if only Archie could have behaved....he might be champ........2 judges got it right on that round.

0:59 Moore grabs Gibbons. Too much of this kind of thing can have a negative affect on the scoring of the fight. 2:0
