Matchroom Fighters Have Been Getting Very Generous Scorecards

[Nehnenqui]

Canelo vs. Jacobs (Matchroom) - 115-113 twice for Canelo. You need to watch a different sport if you can give Jacobs more than 4 rounds. And even 4 rounds is generous.

Estrada vs. Rungvisai (Matchroom) - 115-113 twice for Estrada. Again, if anyone gives Rungvisai more than 4 rounds they need to watch a different sport. 4 rounds is a bit generous too but it’s acceptable.

Roman vs. Doheny (Matchroom) - 113-113 draw. That judge needs to be shot. Roman knocked Doheny down twice, won the majority of the rounds, and had Doheny looking like he got hit by a train. How the hell can you come up with that score?

*Roman is a Matchroom fighter too but he is co-promoted by Thompson Boxing.

What is up with these scores?

Matchroom’s stable is getting squashed so I see why Hearn is in no rush to make Canelo vs. Andrade and Diaz vs. Farmer.

They're American judges. And we know how bad THEY are.

[Boksfan]

True, boxing is America should be banned because they can't score boxing.

I mean I talk about this ALL THE TIME. There is a wonky card in waaaaaaaay too many fights.

I think that boxing gets a bad wrap with bad decisions cuz I don't believe thats as big of a thing as fans act like it is. The right guy wins 99% of the time.

The scores that guys win by don't make sense don't make sense for at least one fight on probably 99% of cards we watch or that just happen at club shows or off TV.

So basically idk that 3 instances of this with Matchroom shows there is a Matchroom problem so much as they is & has been a judging problem.

Yeah I guess it just seems worse because all 3 of these fights have been in the last 2 weeks.

I don’t watch those lame U.K. domestic cards on DAZN so idk if it’s a Matchroom thing.

[Redd Foxx]

You might be onto something, but I'd have to see something really consistent to think it's more than coincidence. The examples you gave aren't bad.

I only have issues with the Rungvisai vs Estrada scorecards tbh

It's so their fighters dont look that bad

This, they're assets in a time of heavy promotional wars.

We see it a lot with certain PBC fighters when they lose too, especially with the ones you know Al wants to protect their commercial value.

You are right. I expected the judges to be generous to Canelo but instead they were generous to Jacobs. I scored it 9 rounds to 3 for Canelo. Since even rounds are no longer allowed maybe 8 rounds for Canelo and 4 rounds for Jacobs if you give Jacobs another close round but I didn't.
