Ridiculous judgment, Reveco was robbed. Shame to the pseudo judges that acted during this fight and to the Japanese boxing association also that is licensing/qualifying judges like these three stooges.
The fight was nice and clear with an aggressive Reveco from the beginning till the end who was connecting always the best punches. The Japanese fighter was good indeed but he didn’t enough to win.
Reveco was too naive defending his tittle in Japan
