    Complete controversy.

    Vastine and clayton won their boughts, but two horrible judging decisions.

    Absolutely shocking.

    The Clayton fight was interesting sure it was tied 14-14 but from all accounts he should have one not the UK fighter.

    Clayton destroyed him in the second and last round, and he only got 6 points in each, and the british fighter "somehow" got 4 in the final without landing a single shot, and not throwing one successfull punch the last 2 minutes.

    All the commentators were speachless, as they were earlier in the Vastine fight where they couldnt understand how he lost, even the winning fighter shrugged hiss houlders in disbelief(as right after round 3 he knew he lost and acted dejected etc)

    It's a subjective sport, they'r going to be decisions people don't agree but someone like Lomenchenko (who clearly is the best boxer there) wins easily and without controversy every single round. That say's to me people just like to cry robbery when a fight has been close and they don't like the decision.
