Boxing is corrupt and unapologetic about it. This was an entertaining competitive fight, but there is no way that Roach lost.

Some judges in boxing need to be investigated. Lets start with the ones from Pitbull vs Roach and Oshaquie Vs Fulton judges. Even though it did not matter in the Foster fight but these judges giving rounds to Fulton are a joke. Easy 120-108 no way Fulton won 1 round maybe maybe if you in love with him you can give him 1 round but even that is a gift.

Roach was straight out robbed. The Tank fight was close but he should of won in my opinion (but not a clear robbery) but this one with Pitbull was way easier to score first half was completely even with a slight edge for Cruz due to the knockdown but the second half was all Roach and every round easy to score. He outfought and outboxed Cruz. Cruz turned into Haney avoiding to fight and clinching every 5 seconds, plus low blows all night.

Again that was not hard to score this was kind of competitive in the first half but clear win for Roach.

Roach didn't shiat to Pitbull. Pitbull messed himself out for that point deducted, nothing that Roach did. Looking at the match Roach was more damaged than Pitbull. No way did Roach "BEAT" Pitbull. Just look at the end of the match and see their body language. Pitbull Landed the more damaging punches.

It's unfair what they have done to Roach. He fought and beat two lions back to back, to only have a draw to show for both bouts. It's unfair for him to be forced to face both lions to avenge his robberies. These types of fights take a lot out of a fighter. The promotions do not face the risks that their boxers face.....They only reap the rewards.

All 3 judges gave the 12th to Cruz. Impossible! If Roach would have rightfully been awarded the 12th, he would have won on two of the judges' scorecards. The judge that scored the fight 115-111 for Cruz should be banned/suspended indefinitely.

so tell me what of the judging criterias exactly was in favor of Pitbull was it the cleanlanded punches or his effective aggression or his amazing ring general ship or maybe is exceptional defense?

Let me help you out Pitbull did not have one of these judging criterias in his favor for the whole fight. The only round Pitbull clearly won was the one with the knockdown. The first half was kind of competitive but even in the first 6 rounds Roach landed cleaner was more effective with his offense controlled the action and had way better defense. The second half was just one way traffic Pitbull noticed he couldnt bully roach on the inside and got frustrated. So what did he do he tried to box Roach a couple of rounds and all of these rounds he lost since he can't box at all.

Pitbull only dominated at clinching, low blows, leading with his head and shoulder bumbs while clinching. This was not hard to score and every statistic backs that up. Roach landed more punches in 9 out of 12 rounds. Roach also landed more Power Punches and he completely controlled the action. He was also more effective percentage wise in 11 out of 12 rounds.

Roach was at least 2 levels above Pitbull in every department he fought Pitbulls fight and turned Pitbull into a wannabe boxer but again Pitbull can't box.
