Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and I think he is an outstanding commentator. He has very high boxing IQ and is one of my favorites when it comes to analyzing fights.
But on more than one occasion the guy has flat out said the judges scoring a fight were bought at worst and extremely bias at best. Tonight he went even further when he said that the shobox stats that show the number of punches thrown and landed are based on "the opinion of the guy pushing the buttons," in a way suggesting that those numbers can also be skewed at will if desired.
I'm not doubting that some fights are fixed, I'm just shocked that a guy working for a major boxing network can constantly call it out and continue to be employed hah. More power to him though.
