I was wrong. Jack was not robbed.

Great post! Props to Maxi for being humble. It's easy to get caught up in the scoring of a fight especially if you have had a few cold ones. The fight could have gone either way but Jack certainly finished strong.It’s good to see someone admit they were wrong. As I’ve said before, I thought it was a toss-up fight. I was half thinking the judges would call it a draw, although I was leaning towards Badou. Any result would’ve been fine with me, as long as the cards reflected the closeness of the bout (which they did). In so many of these close matches, people tend to get upset if the guy they saw as the winner loses. Yet, there are usually at least a couple of rounds that could’ve gone either way. If even one judge leans toward the other guy, it changes the result. It’s usually not a robbery. A robbery is any fight where there is a clear winner — in effect, by a wide margin. There can be no question, no close rounds to affect the eventual outcome.Comment

Thanks. Yeah, alcohol often plays a role. Haha
It was an entertaining fight. I hate to see someone lose one of those, but everyone likes to see a decisive outcome. Jack walked off in disgust. Can’t blame him. You pour your heart and soul into the training, then into a tough fight, only to have the judges give it to the other guy. Even worse when it seems most other people thought you won.Comment

Most of the time it’s favouritism ,not even truthfulness
And then you get the butt hurt haters who scream robbery anytime their fighter doesn’t get the nodComment

This fight proved once again that Jack starts off too slow(I was a fan of his and he's still a very good fighter). He really needs to be get going at the very start of the fight rather than the second half, which is why too many of his fights end up draws or close decisions.Comment
