  • Fortuna was robbed. The ref is probably in bed with George Soros. Let’s hope to God President Trump does not get robbed against Mattress Harris.

  • Fortuna should have gotten the nod against Davies, and Carrillo won just about every round and lost the decision to McCrory. Horrific performance from both… Carrillo clowned the entire fight after hurting McCrory early who was scared to engage afterwards. Atrocious scoring by the ref who was the sole judge

  • Carrillo very unlucky with that scoring. Why do they let referees score fights along? It makes it so hard for the B-side to win…

    Is it that hard to find judges?

  • terrible scoring on carrilo mccory fight i had it at least a draw hometown decision in ireland what do you expect berlanga won against mccory

    • Should have been a draw. Both fighters won five rounds. Referee obviously gave McCrory a 10-8 round for that knockdown. Knockdown was little more than a slip and Carrilo dominated the rest of the round and would have won it except for the knockdown. Better scoring would give him credit for the knockdown but only 10-9.

  • Why on earth is the ref scoring a fight? It’s bad enough to only allow one judge score a fight, let alone a judge who can’t focus 100% on scoring the fight. Ridiculous, backwards way of doing things.

    If I knew the ref was scoring the fight, I’d try to steal the last 30 seconds – there’s no way he can focus on scoring the full three minutes while breaking up clinches and looking for fouls.
