A disgusting farce.

Bradley probably won one round.

I once saw an Aussie fighter called Tony wehbee cop a flogging off an Unknown Asian fighter. Again he possibly won a single round but somehow got an horrendous hometown decision from the Aussie judges.....one of whom is now a "respected" guardian of the Aussie fight game.

Boxing is full of these travesties but it's unusual to see such blatant corruption at a major fight.

I remember being on holidays at South West Rocks and watched Jeff Fenech against Azumah Nelson at the local pub .... the crowd reaction that night was I guess similar to many parts of the country but many said they would never watch another boxing match .

Yep that was a shocker.
Sad for Jeff because when they had a rematch (and Azumah was fully fit) Jeff got smashed.

Btw I think Bradley won the last round as well, in hindsight, so he actually won two rounds.

Manny won that fight convincingly and didn't really need to get out of second gear. Those two judges should be made to front a tribunal or maybe get jobs as refs for FFA!

i think it was more nelson getting over his wifes death. i saw him against la porte .he was fit but not
focused .
fenech was unlucky in the second fight .he was too cocky and charged in an got nailed while he was still cold ,he never recovered.

Jeff kopped a shocker that day but the truth is he was never in Azumah's class.
Both fit and in their prime Jeff would lose every time.

i don't think it would be as one sided as you think .fenech could be very evasive and nelson always
could get tagged . i scored the first fight 10 - 2 thats a huge margin. i think it's a close match up

all i watch now days is the big kubush

I was at the Pacquiao v Bradley fight in Vegas and the only 2 people in the arena who thought Bradley won were the 2 judges who gave it to him. Even Bradley thought he lost and the whole crowd was apalled. Apart from that it was a great experience.

Just watched the Muay Thai on fox sports and John Wayne Parr just won a very dodgy split decision over a Thai opponent.
I scored first round parr, next three rounds Thai, last round a draw or if generous a parr round.....so how did he win it.

In Australia I don't think the judges are corrupt like in the Bradley fight....just too one eyed and jingoistic.

If does get very annoying but!!!
