There is nothing any body can do about that now... Let the casuals just move on. Unification is done and dusted.

You know what? I can't even be mad at you because you stand behind your man no matter what. Good on you. Respect!

I thought the scores were too wide but the right man won.
I get the feeling the ref was paid off to stop any inside fighting which would have favoured Parker.

Sure seemed that way didn't it. But as you said the right man won.

I dunno about paid off, I just think he was inexperienced. A good referee will know sometimes not to intervene when rules are being broken unless it's flagrant cheating to keep the match exciting, whereas a less experienced ref will stick to the strict letter of the law and interrupt at the slightest hint of a breach of the rules. I find that this actually goes for most sports with referees, not just boxing.

Giuseppe seems to have a habit of helping the hometown fighter.
Here he is helping the local boy up from a knockdown (at 2.15).
