    Another robbery were the pretty clear winner gets jibbed. Maloney won that 8/4. But to have that same exact score the other way, is a disgrace.

    It won't happen, but overseas fighters shouldn't go to the US at any cost. It's insanity what is happening.

      I don't think the cards were that debatable. I edged it to Franco.

      But something was amiss. Compubox numbers were absolute bull, commentary was bizarrely focused on Franco, and Reiss was at Moloney from the first bell.

      I saw a good performance from Moloney. Some really good work, particularly to the body. I could have happily gone either way or a draw on the cards but there were a few things that didn't smell right in that fight.

      Well done Franco on the win, and well done Moloney on the performance.

          Yeah, I thought compubox was way off. I'd see Moloney clearly land half a dozen punches and only be credited with half. The commentary didn't help, either. Bradley and Tessitore ignored alot of the work Moloney was doing.

          It was a close fight, Franco did more and Moloney did himself no favors dispensing with his jab.

          As for Jack Reiss, I'm not a fan of his. It's not that he's incompetent, he knows what he's doing but he loves to insert himself in the action like he's the third star in the ring.

              Franco won close but clear.

              Moloney was the house fighter as he's with Top Rank. There's no controversy here.

                Probably one of the rare times when the "house" fighter seems to never catch a break. In the 2nd fight, even ol' Bob's close proximity couldn't influence the incompetence away from the video review.

                In the trilogy fight they bring in an out of state ref to officiate and it happens to be a guy who breaks up any bit of holding whatsoever. To my eyes, I thought the punch stat tabulations were way off.

                I dont think there was some conspiracy and I don't think Moloney won it. Just felt like every bounce went in the favor of Franco for that trilogy.

                  I disagree with the cards. I had it clear to Moloney. I think you had the commentators in your ear non stop by the sounds of it. I never had Ward and Bradley om commentary. Maybe find a copy of the fight with another commentator and see what you think?

                  But with the cards and the commentary, something tells me Oscar's Golden Boy Promotions may be heading over to ESPN after the DAZN contract runs out. Keep an eye on that. Then everything would make perfect sense.

                    You're Mexican. We know you would score the fight for them even if they got the living daylights beaten out of them for all 12 rounds. Most bias fans when it comes to scoring fights.

                      lol the irony
                      An UK d**krider, a country known for fluffing themselves up with seldom a vacant title and barely any relevant wins(matchroom fight camp chumpions), telling someone whose actually constantly represented on the world stage, that they're bias.

                      Aren't the phoney Baloneys australian?
                      Or don't tell me, that because the UK is dripping with so much excess talent, that you've resorted to backing the Baloneys because they're ethnically Irish?

                      Say it aint so...
