As I've said before, foreign-born boxers should avoid going to the USA to fight an American. They won't receive a fair shake. Akavov deserved to be allowed to finish the fight, now he has a TKO loss on his record.

Although there were always some dodgy officials, boxing in America has become more corrupt during the past 5 to 10 years than it ever was before. Mercante is just one of several dodgy referees, and the scorecards in the USA have become worse and worse every year.

Fury should not have agreed to rematch Wilder in Las Vegas, it's the absolute worst city in the world for boxing corruption.
