Huge bullshit robbery on the untelevised Crolla-Perez undercard!

As I've mentioned in other threads I attended the event in Manchester and there was an awful decision on the untelevised undercard. Liam 'Dynamo' Taylor boxed 6-28-1 Mark McKray in a 4 rounder and McKray to my eyes took the first 2 rounds and lost the 3rd round. In the final round, Taylor was winning a close round when he was dropped by a hard overhand right hand. He barely beat the 10 count and could just about stand and the bell saved him. He was helped back to his corner on very unsteady legs.

The shocking thing was that the referee scored the fight 40-37 in favour of Taylor. How is that possible when McKray surely took a 10-8 round at the end? Poor bastard got robbed big time and it needed saying because this will get absolutely no coverage.

Found a video where Taylor admits he was saved by the bell. Which he just admitted he lost. Decision was absolutely dreadful

What's crazy is that Boxrec doesn't even mention that Taylor was knocked down in the 4th!

Exactly. How is it possible to score a round in which a guy was heavily knocked down and 10 seconds more would have been knocked out a 10-10 round? Taylor scored maximum for every round. It's crap like this which is why I've been complaining about UK officiating & judging lately. As you can guess, Taylor was the hometown fighter.

Thanks for the first hand view. This is why whenever we hear "that was the biggest robbery ever" it's really not. The McKrays of the world don't have the platform or fame for announce teams to give a shat, just a few hard boiled fans who know better and his family knowing that he schooled some young protected kid. Speaking of, it has to be a matter of time before he gets beat as he steps up...his first 7 have combined record of 55ish Wins against over 600 losses

Sounds like a total sham, but in fairness it doesn't deserve the same recognition as a relevant fighter getting screwed. If a guy is 6-28, he doesn't have any aspirations of being good anymore, all that matters is he can provide a test. McKrays stock will if anything go up from this, as he's only going to be an opponent no matter what. Get that it still sucks of course, but there is probably no real loser in the outcome.
