Zubaira sucks when he's not the weightbully. Glad he's getting cut.

The cut was pure luck. The decision is stupid. Though I cashed out even if the bookies had brenner at x12 at third round.

Disgrace of a Decision

Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 4943rd

That was such a false decision. 
Could there be corruption involved (considering the ml odds) by whoever scored it 30-27 or is it just incompetence ?

Tukhugovs corner knew the fix was in . That’s why they were screaming at him to finish the fight in between the 2nd and 3rd.

Can an editor correct the Tukhugov vs Brenner fight? It was a 155 lbs fight and the decision was a split decision, not unanimous. The only thing unanimous of the decisions, is everyone is unanimously disagreeing with it.

Every week same ****. Opening fight parlay buster decision robbery is no where near a surprise nowadays. You shouldn’t be betting if you don’t know that’s par for the course
