Don't get me wrong, Shakur boxed beautifully and DEFINITELY won the fight by 3-4 rounds. However, how the hell was Zepeda only awarded 2 rounds despite being the busier fighter who backed his man up all night and outlanded him in 5 rounds according to CompuBox?
If you dig a little deeper, you'll get your answer. Prior to the fight, Turki tweeted the following which would explain the unusually WIDE scorecards:-
"I will be very upset if Berlanga and Zepeda knock out Sheeraz and Shakur. We have big plans for Sheeraz and Shakur, and this result would be a complete disaster...!"
This is NOT good for boxing!
You couldn't rob a Ukrainian at that stage, imagine how bad the optics would have been.
The Saudis kidnapped an American journalist, sliced him into pieces and paid no consequences whatsoever. Like they would give a shit.
If Turki was going to fix things, Fury would have got the decision in the first Usyk fight. He ****in' loves Tyson Fury.
As for Stevenson-Zepeda.... the judges didn't see it your way. Happens.

And Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Mike Tyson. He's still friends with Tyson, he was close with the Clintons until he ran for President in 2016, and he let Jackson stay for free at his tower when he was hiding out from the media during one of his ******ation cases.
Basically his entire circle of friends are predators.
As the old sayings go 'there's no smoke without fire' & 'birds of a feather flock together'.
Wasn't he good friends with Diddy & Vince McMahon too? :rofl:

Eh let's not get carried away here. I scored it 120-108 only one round different than one of the judges. Im sure Stevenson's forearms and elbows are a little sore right now but those aren't telling blows are they? Shakur's southpaw shoulder roll is a thing of beauty.
Come on man...that's way too WIDE. I had it even after 8 but Shakur definitely won the last 4 rounds as Zepeda began to tire and he was landing at will. Still, I wouldn't disagree with 9-3 either but anything lower than that is disrespectful to Zepeda who only landed 23 punches less overall according to CompuBox and MORE than any other opponent.
Still, it was great to see Shakur fighting in a fan friendly style for the first time and he could become a genuine star if he continues to fight this way going forward.

Ummm, for what? The FOPOS was found liable of sexual abuse, AND used to hang with Epstein and his lil girls....the fact that his weaponized doj is choosing to not publish the names and files speaks volumes

Yep and the us president is a ped-o. Not much you can do. As far as scoring fights just keep your own score. Official decisions have no credibility

Is sucks, but this is what happens when a "dictator" takes over. They'll control what happens because they have all the power. They'll not outright make it look obvious if they can, but as you said, the fix is already in. It's just a matter of how you spin it to the people because you don't want them to ever think outside the bubble they control you in.
I don't doubt that Turki will attempt to sway judges, but that is really all the power he has. As long as fighters aren't being paid to lose, we'll be Okay because there is always the KO chance. That said, it will also take away something because for fighters, losing a decision can alter their career and life long work. In that aspect, it's not fair.
I know but it sucks if you're NOT one of Turki's favs...Zepeda trained his ass off and fought like a man possessed but already lost the fight before he stepped in the ring.
