the judge was only doing what was expected of him & eddie knows this very well of course

This match decision is textbook definition of daylight robbery

Right. As per yesterday's thread on Breadman's column, I don't see that performance as "brilliant."

Once you look at greatness, its hard to be satisfied with less. Maybe it's best for a generational amnesia. Some can't stand the thought that there was better before.

All 3 judges. The magic trick in the A-side robbery is to get you to look at the really bad score and ignore the other closer ones. Even if they all made it close none of them should have the house fighter Hitchins winning. Normally, when a guy gets robbed, the first judge has the b-side by a round, second judge has a ridiculous wide margin for the A-side, and the third makes it close for the A-side. But either way they rob the B-sider, he loses.

¿Shocked? Better be by the decision, because Lemos got ¡ROBBED! Just looking at the way they stopped the "Avión" fight and the way the judges bamboozled Lemos, both Argentines had to knock out their opponents so that at least they would get draw. Welcome to "Las Vegas"

If they had knocked out the opponents, they would have been disqualified for hitting too hard... Lol.

They have it down to a science. You explained it really well.

Hitchins-Matias might be a good fight but Matias is a finisher so there could be a KO.

Because it's always shocking when you get what you paid for...

It's super weird how frequently there's at least one judge with a crazy lopsided score for the house fighter. Amazing coincidence for sure.

The other two cards were scandalous as well but the other one is so bad pretty much everyone else forgets the other two bad cards, must be done on purpose.

7 rounds for the hugger is equally as ridiculous, no case can be made for him winning the fight.

All 3 cards were a disgrace.
