Did you guys hear the commentary of Matthysse vs Humberto Soto? Showtime commentators were making it look like Soto is winning the fight, they were talking about his handspeed and his combinations. I saw Matthysse winning the fight, landing the hard punches, doing his thing.
After Soto got knocked out, we saw that one judge had it a draw and 2 had Matthysse ahead. And I tell you guys one thing: boxing is full of sh't. Those scorecards dont matter anymore after Soto got knocked out, so basically they put out scorecards which reflect the actual fight. If that fight would have gone on like that and to the scorecards, I BET SOTO WOULD HAVE BEEN AHEAD ON ALL 3 CARDS. But since it doesnt matter anymore, they give out the other scorecards.
Reminds me of Chavez Jr. vs Andy Lee: Lee was ahead on the scorecards (either on 2 or 3 scorecards) at the time of the stoppage which is complete BS. Chavez was winning that fight but since it didnt go to the scorecards, they publish scorecards which have Lee ahead to make it look like boxing isnt corrupt. What I mean by that is NO MATTER what would have happened in that fight, Chavez Jr would have won on the scorecards had it gone the distance. But now Chavez won anyway by knockout, so they show us scorecards which didnt have Chavez ahead, to make it "clear" that the judges werent in Chavez's pocket.
