See this Sky Sports undercard, is Calum Smith even in the same weight division as his opponent?

Back to back "strange" outcomes for Burns no way did he ever deserve a draw tonight on my scorecard, heaven knows how one judge had him a 115-112 winner.

If the Burns fight was in Mexico tonight and the judges produced those figures to get that result the reaction would have done 100 times worse!

Scandalous judging.

How can you put Burns 3 points up!???

Seen it coming but what a farce! I had Beltram a few rounds up! My mate said 5 rounds out that the draw was a good bet at 22/1

Said the same to my mate when the ref let Burns get away with rolling around the ring hanging off Beltran for half the fight.

Result aside that was unbelievable courage from Burns to finish that fight with a broken jaw.

Agreed, and excuses the performance to some extent.

Interview after the fight with Beltran, who comes across as a very classy guy.

the judges never seem to be held accountable for the scoring or have to explain themselves. when they release the scorecards you wonder what the hell they have been watching. the same old names are always cropping time and time again

no wonder most people thinks it bent

close fights you cant complain about because it so open to interpretation but sometimes they are just way out

the whole scoring system should be changed or at least simplified from what it is now

There is, of course, an easy to understand system with the amateurs, but the sport will always be mired by accusations of dodgy decisions. I'd say there's a fair chance it's better now than it used to be.

I like your idea of visible accountability, tho.
