The verdict was a disgrace, an absolute disgrace. James Toney clearly won 8, maybe 9 rounds and they give him a split decision loss? You have three inexperienced judges scoring a significant fight, and they let this happen in the boxing capitol of the world. I'm beginning to wonder if the fact that Toney is 38 and has probably less than a handful of fights left in him has anything to do with this, similar to the situation that occurred when Shannon Briggs took a bull**** decision over George Foreman, in Foreman's last outing.
Samuel Peter is perceived by some to be the future of the division, which is not exactly how I see it by any discernable distinction. A win for the guy with more fights left in the forward momentum would generate more money as the hype and attention of Peter is promising to the potential revenue intake. It all seems kind of, I dunno, su****iously coincidental from my view.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission needs to sit down with these three judges and review the tape with them. If they allow incompetent officiating occur, it will only continue.
