The fact is some of those judges are taking the gift basket before the fight. some horrible oversight on the judges. flat criminal to be honest with yeah ! , Some of those judges are spot on !00% the fights prior to the controversial fight... Hell its very easy to see when the fix is in.. lots of times you will see score cards scratched thru and changed and all kinds of bullshit. I think they should do some undercover work and track the money trail ,just follow the corruption . Look at some things, like did a judges unemployed Nephew bet $50 grand on the fighter that won the controversial match. hang around and see if there is a pattern . This sport needs serious overhaul . Needs an over sight commission badly !
