    It's true some fighters repeatedly get screwed by refs in the US, but its their fault

    For instance GGG vs Derevyanchenko. If you don't know what I mean, watch this film study https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3nnA0WqOlw, then come back and read this comment.

    The reason I say it's their fault though is, they never put the spotlight on it. Of course lies will win the day if truth doesn't speak. All GGG has to do is tweet out this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsUbcgJ9Ja0, with the caption "I will not fight again in NY if there is not an investigation into the refereeing last saturday," and it would become a huge story. Once the spotlight is shown on corruption or incompetence, the corruption goes dark, or the incompetence is addressed. But as long as fighters stay silent about it, either can keep happening.

    What surprised me are the final seconds of round 10. GGG had stunned Derevyanchenko with a 4 punch combo right in his face, and was about to go all in with another 4-5 punch combo, potentially KOing Derevyanchenko, but the ref called time for whatever reason, seconds before the actual bell rang.

      It’s hard to get anyone to agree on what they saw. With even rounds and knockout free 10-8 rounds frowned upon things will always look wider on paper than what someone actually saw. U can win the first round by throwing 7 jabs compared to 6 by ur opponent. Then u can get battered bad in another round, get hit with over a dozen more than u landed and it’s still just worth one point. Maybe score each minute. Even the same scores are often differing on a lot of rounds.
