117-111 Flanagan?! GTFO.

To have one judge saying 117-111 to Hooker then another saying 117-111 to Flanagan is utterly ludicrous on the face of it.

That's a 'swing' of the full 12 rounds FFS!

HOWEVER that is how judging works in boxing. If you have 6 close rounds, and there probably were 6 close rounds in that fight, if one judge prefers one boxers style to another then he's likely to score completely differently to another judge.

That's the reality of it at the moment and until the scoring system changes that's the reality for the foreseeable!

Yeah of course, I just completely disagree with them haha. Flanagan barely connected with anything other than his head all fight!

To stand/sit in one place and score a boxing match is hard, I've got it wrong live on more than one occasion..
