Funny how champion doesn't have an effect on scorecard only has started trending since Ward robbed Kovalev
Magdaleno clearly lost that fight running, clinching and eating big shots all night long from Donaire
Like I said you've gotta be completely blind to not notice this sport is mugging off the older athletes to weed through the overhyped so called next big thing.
Why should the champion get preferential treatment? I score solely based on performance in the ring, nothing else is relevant to me. When scoring I only care about how well they box, not about who they are or what they've done to get to that point.
@ you thinking Donaire won. I thought Magdaleno clearly walked away with it.
Even 116-112 was shocking you could give that type of scorecard for Lebedev but there literally is no way possible to give that to Gassiev if the scorecards weren't so wide they might have made me not think they were trying to promote the younger guy.
Look at Gassiev's reaction and body language when we walked to the corner after 12th.. Should say it all..
Hope they had a rematch clause...

Yeah same, I don't think Gassiev deserves a shot at that WBA title If he legitimately won tonight I'd have a different feel on that one.
Problem for Lebedev is he will need to find a way to KO him I know Lebedev thought he clearly won as did likely Freddie Roach as well.
The biggest credit I could throw to Gassiev is he throws a mean left hook to the body and his chin is made of granite he ate some hell of a shots how he never went down to the canvas or got put to sleep is beyond me.
I looked it up, it is the flag of South Ossetia, a partially recognized small state in the area of Georgia, south of Russia.
I've googled it and it turns out that both South Ossetia (partially recognized small state) and North Ossetia (Republic in Russia) have the same flag.
Gassiev is from Vladicavkaz, North Ossetia.
