Masoud got his ass handed to him.and still got the victory.. judges should be fired.. it wasn’t even close
These judges just doing everything they can to ruin boxing as a legitimate sport. If I had placed a bet on that… That’s just unacceptable. Feel terrible for Sanmartin.
American fighters both North and South, never can get a fair shake in England. Dude got bullied and smothered all fight, he only won the rounds he was getting separation to land his shots. 6-4 Sanmartin. Whoever that so-called “judge” was that scored that 8-2 for Masoud is criminal. Needs to be investigated, must be related to Adelaide Byrd.
Another joke decision from joke judge. 98-92 Masoud what laugh. Props Micheal Alexander for having a bit of honesty.
