By the way my initial comments about the robbery were meant tongue-in-cheek. But the more I think about it the more it makes sense for an American victory.

Kessler is getting robbed. Fact.

He wont, we`ve spent a hell of a lot of time getting to the stage where a fight of this magnitude can be scored correctly.

20 years ago definitely
10 years ago possibly

you have to be very vindictive to believe 3judges and a ref are to be told before a fight the hometown fighter needs to win due to something that happened across the pond a few weeks back

PS:Showtime believe the boxing world revolves solely around US fighters and that even a remotely average fight has to be scored for the US fighter hence the extremely byest dribble they produced on the night
