    No doubt about it. I had to go back and take yet another look today at a couple.Just As Ive said before....Bramble "L" Carr was an absolute,terrible blind mans decision.Crazy how it came about,USA network did a 900 # call in poll for the fans to actually pick Carr's next "opponent" and they choose Bramble.He pole-axed Carr with a straight right in the first and dropped him with another to end the round.Carr came back in 2nd with some very nice uppercuts/hooks and took that round.Carr looked to box the rest of the night but in the 5th he really staggered Bramble with a left hook off the ropes only to gas out after he unloaded everything trying to KO him.After that I had Bramble winning the next 4 rounds with effective pressure and he hurt Carr in the body around the 9th.Manny Steward told Carr going into the 9th he needed the knockout but Bramble was the harder puncher and had Carr backing up taking hard body shots.The Detroit hometown crowd had shouts of "Bullshit" at Decision announcement,I had it scored 97-92 for Livingstone.He said in interview that it was "The best fight that he ever lost"

    In fairness,His DQ to Mayweather should have been ruled a TKO,After a couple of tight rounds,Roger zeroed in with some hellacious straight rights...as he was known to do lol, and really hurt Bramble badly.Put him on the deck and in the 4th,Mayweather hurt him again and Bramble was really stunned,only to have the ref step in at which point Mayweather hit him on the break sending him down,The cornerman stepped up on the ring apron to stop the fight I believe and Ref ruled it a DQ All kinds of chaos broke out,Man,that is a dumbarse rule. His fight with Kevin Rooneys Up & coming hopeful Ricky Meyers was just a war,really good fight.Meyers tried to duplicate the Mike Tyson "Bob & Weave" style throughout,with some success and won on work rate.Nice scrap!!Need coffee
