Well having just watched the fight now in full I can say that the scorelines were absolutely absurd. To be fair it wasn't the judges, but the referee who ruined the fight. 5 POINTS DEDUCTED!!!
Being completely honest, I could see why he got a point deducted for the headbutt, but can't see why he docked 2 for that, the kind of thing Hopkins and Holyfield did their whole careers.
The other 3 points, I honestly don't even know what they were for
Completely baffled me to be honest, Miranda never complained once, even whent the ref was obviously doing all in his power to destroy his chances of winning.
Abraham was very brave. He looked like a rage infected zombie from 28 days later come the end but he held firm.
I actually would have just about given the fight to Abraham, he looked great, dominated the early rounds but obviously faded down the stretch, unsuprising when you look at the state of him.
Finally another incidental observation. The refereee for this fight was the sweatiest man I've ever seen. His shirt looked like it had had two buckets of water thrown over it, one each side. I've never seen a man sweat so much, even worse than Lee Evans.![]()
