      Alot of people make a fuss about the scoring but my own opinion is its at least fair, you dont see as many blatant robberies

          This is silly and if youre behind its almost impossible to catch up. Rounds go by too fast also.

              cuban was obviously the better fighter so he deserved the win.

              but yeah the scoring is ******ed. If you don't know the way it works is that there are 4 or 5 judges and they have clickers one for each fighter. When a fighter lands a punch all judges need to click within 1 second of eachother in order for that point to score. So, if 4 out of 5 judges click for fighter A that fighter will not get a point because one judge didn't click. lol it's a horrible system.

                    yeah, it kinda takes the fun out of it because everytime you see a punch land you look up at the score to see if it counted and most of the time it doesn't so it's frustrating.
