That corrupt judge Nelson should have a lifestyle audit done on him by world boxing. It is ignorant old judges like this that have got no income in there old age that is taking the sport out of boxing. The shmuck should be fined and dismissed and banned from boxing for the rest of corrupt life.
I believe Castano won the fight narrowly. He was the aggressor led almost every round except for the last 3. The lion was laying in the weeds. He was truly tested lay night. That score 117-111 is embarrassing for boxing and its fans. This is why UFC & MMA are taking in more fans than boxing.
Been a boxing fan as long as I can remember.I am 62 years old.Always corruption overshadowing pure majestic battle.Does anyone else see the correlation between a certain manager/promoter and his fighters always getting the insane scoring?
117 / 111 for either fighter is quite a stretch. Some of these judges are either corrupt or incompetent. I hate that , fighters work too hard and put their lives on the line , they deserve fair and accurate judging. I felt like Aleem on the undercard got a raw deal too.
Scoring with the exception of the 114-114, was crazy. With a 12 round fight, maximum points for a winner is 120. With a 114 to 113 score, it means the 114 boxer won all but 6 rounds (meaning a “draw” outcome). You can’t have the other boxer having a 113 vote UNLESS a point was deducted (usually for a foul). In the Charlo fight there WASN’T a point deduction for either fighter.
That’s not true, Donald. It may very well be, that it was scored 7 to 5 for Castano and a 10-8 round for Charlo in the 2nd round, as their’s no scoring rule that states a 10-8 can only be scored with a knockdown.
It was 114-113 Castano because that judge scored the 10th round 10-8 for Charlo. Otherwise it would have been 115-113 Castano, which is what I had it.
I AGREE THE ARROGANCE IS PREVENTING HIM FROM BECOMING A TRULY GREAT FIGHTER. POWER ALONE WON’T GET YOU THERE. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN THROUGHOUT TIME. HE SHOULD LEARN MORE FROM THIS FIGHT THAN ALL THE OTHERS IF HE’S HUMBLE ENOUGH TO SEE HIS SHORTCOMINGS
Jermell got exposed last night. He took more of a beating than his first lost. Now, many boxers are going to use his receipt, copy his style to lay paws on Charlo.
I’m old enough to remember Pernell Whitaker vs Chavez
Castano won. Charlo doesn’t want to fight him again. He walks an arrogant game but now knows Castano is a major threat so he will find a way to avoid him now. Wants to be pound for pound? Start talking about castano in that realm now after last night.
