"showtime judges'? lol they dont choose their personal judges

I mean Bernstein, Paulie, Farhood as well, madd because a fast slick black fighter lost today?

i dont know if its corruption or idiocy.....i knew they were gonna give Berto a bunch of rounds when he was walking Karass down...even though he wasnt landing consistently and eating a bunch of counters...JUdges are jsut tools and can barely tell if a punch lands or not...with an explosive fighter like Berto, they just notice the "flasy" punches regardless of effectiveness...

Al Haymon + GBP + Texas (Worst US boxing commission) = Controversial decision.

i gave berto 3 rounds (2,5 a close round & 11) tho a lot of you gave him 2 rounds (2,11)
the 3 official judges gave him 5, 6 & 7...

But look at it this way, if Karrass would have been losing the way Berto was, the scores would have been a landslide for Berto. Thats why I say corruption man.

That wasn't a knockdown, you know it and I know it. Knowing that we as judges can disregard that call...

The scorecards were reasonable. Going into the last round, I myself had it 6-5 in rounds for Soto Karas. Tied in points, due to the knockdown.

Whoever won the last round deserved to win the fight.

You know its corruption if the Mexican that dominated the fight is the one getting robbed in Texas.

berto won maybe 2 rounds if you are treating every round equal. it's clearly corruption. he was getting beat to a pulp. its not possible 3 out of 3 people miss that.

I gave Berto 6 & 7 as well, he landed the much cleaner shots. I had SK up 106-104 going into the 12th. I scored round 11 10-9 for Berto bc I didn't know if it was 10 point must. If not I would have had it 9-9 and thus 106-103 SK going into the 12th.

I know but I am talking about rounds that you can actually give Berto. I wouldn’t have but if your just looking for a reason to then that knockdown and the second round were the only rounds gave Berto.
