Originally posted by jas View Postrounds 2,3,4,5,7,8 could have easily gone either way
charlo won rounds 1, 6, 11, 12 and harrison 10,12 imo
just so happened two judges gave 5 of the 6 swing rounds to harrison and one judge gave them all to him
does not make it a robbery
fights are scored on a rbr basis. Fighter A can win rounds more definitively than Fighter B but not necessarily get the verdict e.g. hopkins vs taylor I
also, the vocal section of the crowd seemed to be pro-harrison, and crowd can definitely affect judges

Worse decisions in years. I can live with the wilder / fury draw but this is a complete horrible decision. Wilder/ fury at least some people felt it was a draw , a few thought wilder won , and quite a few thought fury won , but I’m sure there isn’t one person who can honestly think Harrison won that fight .

No way did Harrison do enough to win .... No way!!!
In almost every sport there is an official scoreboard and scoring system. At the end of a basketball game they don't go to the scorecards where 3 guys courtside judge who won.
Imo boxing should have an official scoring system. Something like:
Jab = 1 point
Power punch = 3 points
Knockdown = 10 points
At the end of the round whoever has the most points gets 10 the loser 9. Then if there is something like a 30+ point advantage then it is a 10-8 round. 60+ point advantage then 10-7. This score is on a scoreboard so everyone knows the score and has the same identical score.
