Didn't see fight. I understand it was close and many people still thought King Arthur did enough, although not as widely as the judges stated. Don't like to see fighters screwed but have no sympathy for Fast Eddie Hearn who orchestrated the Burns v Beltran robbery. He owes Raymundo the belt and an an apology. Until he rights that, I'll never care what happens to him as a promoter.

Smith put up a decent fight against a faded Abrahams and the scoring was a disgrace, but i dont think he done enough to win the fight and i had AA ahead by 2 rounds at the end and it was certainly not a robbery.

This guy is acting like he beat the **** out of AA. It was a close fight with too wide scorecards. This wasn't even as big a robbery as Vasquez-Bey. AA probably edged it in reality anyway.

Is he still going on about this? There are two wrongs from this fight. The score cards were awful. The second wrong is Smith thinking he actually won.

Hearn has admitted several times that Beltran should have got the decision and they offered him a rematch. Beltran is getting his chance against Crawford so don't feel too sorry for him.

Why the hell do morons keep bringing up Burns-Beltran? So every time bad scoring or a robbery happens now, we have to not care because the promoter probably got the benefit of the doubt on another decision. What ******ity!
