Nonito Donaire vs. Jeffrey Mathebula - Saturday night fight thread

[TitoFan]

That have got to be the blindest judges ever seems like we got candidates for those every week

I thought Mathebula won 5 rounds and Donaire 7, + a point for the 4th round KD. There's no fucking way that Donaire won more than 7 rounds.

Just think. If Nonito hadn't broken Mathebula's jaw in the 11th, and Mathebula kept the pace throughout the 11th and 12th.... the judges would've still given a comfortable decision to Nonito. More proof that judging is screwed up in professional boxing.

Yup, the judging is still horrendous, it's pathetic, same bullshit every week.

But some will throw up their hands and say it's "part of boxing".
As predictable a response as the lousy scoring we're seeing on a constant basis.

I've been watching boxing for more then 50 years and I can't ever remember this many lame ass decisions as there's been in the last year or so. It's not "part of boxing", it's ruining boxing.
