If Weston didn’t get a knockdown, he loses every round. The B-side almost never gets the benefit of the doubt in a decision against a house fighter. Sometimes mistakes are made. Like in Germany recently when the commission wouldn’t even accept the judges’ scores and later reversed the decision for the promoter’s fighter. Broner got outpunched every round and still won a wide decision, which the B-side was totally OK with (this after Broner didn’t even make the contracted weight). What a sport!
House fighter for sure got decision in Broner fight. Huge odds for Broner pretty much assured that he would win if he was on his feet at the finish. Easier for judges who can fill out their cards for the house fighter and not have to pay too much attention during the fight.
