[PGW]

All down to the judges now!!!!

[john e]

He won't get the decision

[PaulWinch again]

No I doubt it, but he deserves it.

[PaulWinch again]

Shocking decision, absolutely shocking.

[PaulWinch again]

Boxing judging is absolutely criminal.

[PGW]

117-111,117-111,119-109 that is a disgrace, absolute disgrace.

If anyone who doesn't follow boxing wants to know what happened, imagine if the ref had said we won today.

[PaulWinch again]

There are many reasons why boxing is a declining sport, but the standard of judging is a big one.

[johnny from donny]

Total joke, he should complain to the WBO because those judges weren't watching the same fight I just saw

[john e]

Sadly I'm not actually surprised

[PaulWinch again]

I really think boxing judges should have to remotely judge from a different location with no sound available to them. I know it's not ideal, but they need to take any sort of home crowd decision out of it.

[tomd2103]

Not exactly a new thing for such a terrible decision to happen in Germany, but that doesn't excuse it. 

[PaulWinch again]

No well if the boxing authorities don't want their sport to disappear down the plughole they need to do something about it.

[dave.woodhall]

Even at the boxing Leeds fans are arseholes.

Yeah.  The presenters and pundits kept referring to what a great atmosphere it was, but it looked a little on the cave dwelling side to me.  Could see problems happening if Warrington were to fight another British fighter who took a following up there.

In the ring though, he has made great strides in such a short space of time.
