The decision that went defending unified 140 pound champ Josh Taylor’s way back in February was one of the most controversial seen in modern times (shortly after an investigation into the scoring of the fight, judge Ian John-Lewis was downgraded by the BBB of C, from an A Star Class to an A Star Official).
