Judges were in the process of robbing klitchko prior to aj knocking him out.I actually think most of the time, judges are honest and score what they see. There have been tons of robberies and really bad cards, but more often than not judges score the fight right. But it being in England, every time Joshua connects with anything, the crowd will go wild. Judges are human, and if all things are equal how can you ignore the raw emotion in a packed house?
Parker needs to take the crowd out of the picture. He needs to be effective early and often and keep the pro-Joshua legion at bay. I bet he could get a decision then. If it is a close fight and the crowd is into it, I see Joshua getting the benefit of doubt.Comment

So you don't think that up to the 10th (KO was in the 11th), Joshua wasn't winning the fight? 2 judges judges-American Don Trella and Puerto Rico's Nelson Vazquez had Joshua up 96-93 and 95-93, while American Steve Weisfeld had Klitschko ahead 96-93. None of the judges were English, and the scorecards were accurate from most ringside observers. I do not remember scoring it, but I do remember feeling Joshua had owned almost all the early rounds until he got flattened in the 6th. Both had one knockdown, and Klitschko was coming on late as Joshua was gassed.
So I see the two cards with Joshua ahead totally fair.Comment
