Just remembered why I gave up watching it for so many years.

119 to 109 lol.

Feel sorry for Paul Smith as he's a genuine honest fighter, he's been robbed tonight, as for Eddie Hearn is it a case of boxing karma given some of the dodgy decisions his old man got for Eubank senior over the years?

Surely as everybody says they were close rounds so a 10 -9 each round suggests it was close but I man won most of the close rounds the scoring shows the winner won 11 of the rounds = 119 the loser won 1.

It was a close fight but you cant argue AA winning, the scoring was waaaaaaay off, maybe AA by 1 or 2 rounds, but Smith didnt do enough to beat him, though a draw wouldnt of been wrong.

Theres no point Smith and Eddie moaning about it, banging on how he was robbed, he didnt do enough to win.

And Eddie cant talk about really robbery results!

One judge said that AA edged and won 11 of the rounds irrespective of how close each round was. Other thoughtand saw it differently but that is why they have 3 judges and not just the ref to decide.

I had Abrahams 4 rounds up going into the last round and gave him that too, at no stage did Smith have Abrahams in any kind of trouble, hurt him, floor him or have a BIG round so I can't see where the controversy comes from.

Smith boxed a better fight than was predicted but no way was that a robbery, robberies were the likes of the decisions given on Matchroom cards in the last 12 months

Smith defo hurt him with the body shots, at one point in one of the late round maybe the 9th or 10th he really hurt him. But like you say he never really had him in trouble, but AA never had Paul Smith in trouble or hurt.

No one would say Smith was robbed of the decision, just the size of the winning margin.

Had Abraham winning by three points. Great effort by Smith but Watt over emphasised his better moments and under played Abrahams.

Smith should of concentrated more on body shots where he had most success his head punches nearly always hit gloves and therefore we're not scoring punches.
