Official highlights
Nice fight with a guy with very good fighting techniques who won most of the rounds but was robbed by the decision of two blind or corrupted judges. At the end of the fight I was under the impression that such a fight was carried out in Japan instead of USA since the Japanese judges are notorious for such behaviour.
Boxing’s corruption is so bad that I fear for robberies like this whenever a fight goes the distance.
This fight tends to prove that wearing flapping yellow tea towels make the judges think that you are a circus act instead of a boxer.
