The team of former IBF women’s bantamweight champion Miso Yoshida have criticized the decision rendered by judges in her decision loss to challenger Shurretta Metcalf, despite a wide lead in COMPUBOX numbers. The judges, Robin Taylor (99-91), Robert Perez (97-93) and Max DeLuca (96-94) awarded Metcalf the win despite Yoshida, finished the fight ahead 96-64 in overall punches, 49-17 in jabs, 30-16 in body punches and 8-0-2 in a round-to-round breakdown of total connects.
Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in rounds one and eight by 100-percent and by 175-percent in round six. However, those rounds were scored against Yoshida.
“It was an honor to once again share the ring with Shuretta,” the dejected Yoshita said shortly after the fight, “this time in the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden. “I felt I did more than enough to win the fight, and I don’t understand why the judge’s awarded my opponent for throwing wild punches that never landed and the few that did, had no effect.”
take that L and move on female Devin Haney
I thought she won. Metcalf missed A TON of punches. But the fight was awkward and nasty and it wasn’t the biggest travesty ever.
I thought Metcalf was the loser. 96-94 in her favor wasn’t terrible, but the other scorecards were an abomination. I had it 96-94 in favor of Yoshida. And even at that, I felt like I gave a couple of close rounds to Metcalf.
She landed very little of note and with the #1 scoring factor in professional boxing (that I know of) being damaging, clean blows, Metcalf pretty much didn’t do any of that imo. Yoshida didn’t do any damage either but at least she landed clean, impactful shots.
Robin Taylor strikes again.
99-91 was ridiculous, but Metcalf winning was fine. It was a close fight. Yoshida didn’t close the distance well.
I didn’t see the fight..but maybe, her pity pat jabs….werent as effective as Metcalf’s blows, even if there were more of them
it was a typically sloppy fight and this was the rematch both fights won by Metcalf
I don´t know what to say about this one. Was it a robbery? I’m not so sure about that.
The figher in red corner didn’t reach the target while the fighter in blue corner missed everything but the air.
I had a croissant and a nice cup of tea while watching this fight without worrying how to score it.
