[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany - In a much tougher fight than expected, Arthur Abraham (41-4, 28KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Paul Smith (35-4, 20KOs), who holds the British title. The fight was much closer than the scorecards would indicate, as the judges had it 117-111, 117-111 and 119-109 for the champion.

The judge that scored it 119-109 should be banned from boxing

Smith totally robbed...what a disgrace!!!

[johnnycontrolet]

Ridiculous, the judges were a joke

[Razor Ramon]

It was close, Abraham may have deserved it, but the scorecards were once again disgraceful, Germany is such a joke of a country boxing wise, they may as well insist the away fighter has his hands tied behind his back

Absolute disgrace!

I would find it hard to give the decision to Abraham let alone scores like that. Those judges are a disgrace to boxing. It moments like this that give boxing a bad name.

am I the only one who finds abraham extremely boring?

[stephenmc]

So one of the judges gave smith one round? One f@@ing round!!! Not just that judge but those 3 judges should be investigated and have their licences suspended in the meantime! A good fight bad decision,An awful advert for boxing!

Why surprise over the landslide scoring? If Andre Ward or Carl Froch did what they have both done before and knocked Abraham about for the whole twelve rounds, but in Germany, neither would come out of there with a decision. Boxing is the greatest sport but this is what stinks about.

joke

we all know its hard to get points decision in germany, but the smith abraham fight tonight is IMO criminal. if the WBO dont investigate the judges then demand an immediate rematch in a neutral country with neutral judges they have to be the worst of all the belts. im not saying smith dominated the fight but to hand in those scorecards its a joke a close fight that deserves a rematch.
