It's good to hold judges accountable even tho it pointless because nothing will change from it, round robbery has been pretty bad as of late, and that what piss me off, the main event is the perfect example of it, even tho I had Grasso winning,  Val got robbed of a win because the rounds don't make sence

And honestly round 3 for Val was the most dominant round of the fight
