Been telling people this for a while, the US is.probably the most corrupt place for boxing now. Always makes me laugh when the yanks start saying about UK hometown decisions , some of the ones they've churned out over the years have been atrocious and they are getting worse.

Originally posted by Rubber Ducky View PostI noticed that too, I had Ortiz up on the scorecards along with the commentary team. Also the way the ref called the Doc in the check Wilder after he was hurt was fishy, should of done that between rounds but they waited until the round started to call him in and gave him more time to recover.
It was real fishy, Im just glad Wilder got the stoppage.

Originally posted by A.K View PostIt hasn’t happened recently in the U.K for a big fight but it happens a lot there too even though I will agree judges are easy bought in the US and they keep doing it cause they arnt held accountable and keep getting fights.
So, your point about it happening everywhere isnt true and I'm glad you admitted it, unlike others.

It is seriously getting out of hand.

Ortiz was clearly ahead..
all this "the first four round nothing happened" crap is just that, crap.
there are four criterias for scoring pro boxing. clean effective punching, ring generalship, defense and effective aggression.
if you look at all those criterias, in other words score correctly, it was perfectly clear Ortiz was winning. maybe you could give one to wilder, but it would be a stretch to do so imo.
Ortiz should have been comfortably ahead on all cards.

When I got back to my hotel and put on the west coast replay and saw Farhood gave the first four to Ortiz, I was surprised. Wilder did more damage in the 2nd round for sure.

Originally posted by Rip Chudd View PostHe was 1 round up on all scorecards. The truth of the matter is we don't know what was going to happen. Let's not act like the first 4 or so rounds were all Ortiz. He was dictating the pace but neither was landing anything really outside of jabs. Judges split those rounds up if i'm not mistaken. I had Ortiz up though myself
10:8 round for Wilder.

Ortiz was easily ahead, would have been really bad for the game had this fight ended up going to judges scores based on how they had it. The worse thing was it wasn’t an individual judge but all three?
It brings into question why we had two American judges really? I think for big fights like this they really should have as a minimum: 1 neutral, 1 from each nationality, but preferably three neutrals.
