Shock... Robert Smith looking after his mates again. That fat c*** needs putting out to pasture. He’s either bias or incompetent.

What a surprise. What do you expect when the BBBofC are judging their own officials. I remember O'Connor from the Fury fight years ago when he scored it way off the consensus view. Either corrupt or just has terrible judgement.

Okay great so he wasn’t distracted. So he either can’t score worth a FÛCK, or the more likely of the two, is corrupt.

No surprise at all that judges aren't held accountable. It's a joke.

A terrible judge, and a terrible ref. With this outcome, has a licence to continue being both.

British boxing will never change unless they totally clear out the judges and refs.

Ian John Lewis
Howard Foster
Terry O’Conner

3 of the worst judges and refs in the entire world.

And they are the 3 main judges/refs in British Boxing.

Until they’re gone and replaced with young competent judges this will never change.

“In addition, Mr O’Connor’s scoring of the bout was considered and whilst judging a contest is subjective and following Mr. O’Connor’s explanation of how he scored the bout, the Stewards are satisfied that Mr O’Connor’s final score reflected his own opinion of the contest.”

holy fck! judging a fight shouldn't be an "opinion" it should be based on whats taking place. with this logic that 119 card from Lederman was perfectly fine since it was just her "opinion".

we might need to use robots to score these fights then. this "opinion" system will continue to cause backlash.

This kind of embarrassing brain dead bull**** officiating ( among other things ) is why real boxing people are turning the game in .
