For the second time, we have a scoring debate. Note the word used. It’s a debate. This is not a controversy. Controversy is bad and usually comes with something that makes the sport look less than credible. Whitaker-Chavez and Holyfield-Lewis I were scoring controversies that made boxing look bad. What happened Sunday, and in Jamie McDonnell’s first of now two wins over Tomoki Kameda, makes people look at their scorecards and wonder. Those who score for McDonnell have to wonder what those scoring for Kameda saw that they didn’t.
