Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Flat out stole this fight. Who cares if you think it was boring it was a bad decision.

[Roadblock]

Its so bad when judges ruin a fighters career , the system is internally flawed and they need to fix it as it hurts the sport in very profound ways.

Maybe they fell asleep.

most probably .... blame Shock ...

Judges fell asleep during the fight, got woken up when the fight ended and then had to rush writing in scores. They just guessed and wrote it in. That’s what was taking so long with the cards.

You might be able to chalk this up to boxing's ambiguous scoring criteria.

Maybe the Judges felt neither landed enough clean hard punches.
Foster was not being aggressive, so you can't say effective aggression.
He was moving a lot, some may consider that running & not really defense
Ring Generalship for many usually defaults to the come forward fighter, so in this case.....

Not writing I agree with the outcome, just a theory as to why.

A boring rematch will be the result. Bad decision but not as bad as Timothy Bradley and the ESPN propaganda announcers lead you to believe IMO.

And to think that little dwarf gremlin got into IBHOF. He was gifted that entry based on his association with god awful propaganda ridden ESPN. Two division champs are now a dime a dozen and that’s what little Timmy has thanks to a gift decision over PAC. He’s annoying as know nothing Kreigel and that’s saying a lot.

Yo when are we gonna get AI judging? Can’t be any worse then what we have now.

[LITTLE JOE]

I feel really bad for Foster. He either shakes it off and comes back stronger or never recover. I think he will win the rematch.

[Superbee]

Maybe they fell asleep.

My guess is the WBC had a Pep Talk with the Judges of the 2 Championship fights and were told to get rid of two boring a-s-s fighters ... That's good for the sport ...

next time don't be so boring
