[Silkeyjoe]

Right result in the end, but 120-107? Don't think so.

I had it 118-110 but the 2 rounds for Amagasa were clear. poor card. say he had it marked after 3 rounds.

[superheavyrhun]

I thought the cards were a little wide even if it was a hometown decision. Amagasa showed enough to get at least three to four rounds of the fight.

However, overall I thought it was a decent night's boxing, although the judging was a little favoured towards the hometown fighters.

I've just watched two decent fights, this one and also the Hall v Guerrero bout.

I definitely think that the right fighters won, and were given the decision ..... BUT some of the scoring was a complete travesty.

Guerrero did make a bit of a meal about the head contact (in a very un-Mexican way), but Hall was coming in and leading with his head just like Evander Holyfield used to do. He would crouch down and put his head in the best possible position to hit Guerrero with it.

He actually cut Guerrero twice with butts, then he got several stern warnings BUT no point deduction for repeated infractions.

I thought the ref was poor here. At the start of the fifth he called the ringside doctor to look at Guerrero's eye (conveniently just after the fight would have been stopped and gone to the scorecards). When the doctor said the eye was OK, the ref then wiped ALL the Vaseline off it and restarted the fight. That meant Guerrero, having just been cut, was being sent out fo another three minutes as if he had not received any corner treatment on the wound .... that was caused by a butt.

I thought Hall was a couple of rounds up, but I was shocked at the wide decisions that had been given to him by the judges.

The Amagasa fight was well refereed, but the scoring was a complete travesty. It was a good fight, and again I think the right guy won .... but Amagasa gave a good showing and he caused Warrington some real problems, especially in the middle rounds where I thought he dominated.

The judge who gave it 12-0 should not judge again. What fight was he watching??

Britain is known as a country where you get a fair shake of the dice of you're a visiting boxer, but if these ridiculous judging decisions and frankly biased refereeing continues we will end up getting a reputation like Germany or Italy, where you have to shoot the him boxer to get any chance of a win. That's why none of the big names ever defend there.
