How the feck did one give it 3 rounds to Eubank?

How the feck did one give it 3 rounds to Eubank?

Was thinking that myself.

Eubank was very frustrating, had he done anything in the opening 5 rounds he'd have won that relatively easily!

Quite easily. The odd big shot and blistering combo looks good but doesnt beat a steady scoring fighter. You see it different.  That's your call.

You had Saunders by 2. I had him by 3...not a huge difference

Hoping for another entertaining Tyson Fury fight here

Chisora looking like a loyalist rioter.

Yes, but one of the judges had Eubank by 3.

Brutal, it's shows how bad the heavyweights has become that this is an eliminator for a world title shot.

This is what I don't get about boxing. Granted I'm no expert but I find it really strange that there can be so much variation in how professional judges see the fight. For one judge to score the fight to eubank by 3 rounds is baffling. Am I missing something? How does the scoring actually work?

Did ye see Mickey Rourke boxing professionally at 62 or 63 years of age? Apparently he won a fixed fight against some lad that had a 1-9 record previously, a 29 year old. Looks dodgy alright, but not as dodgy as Mickey Rourke himself. Holy shit, what happened him?

Lots of factors in scoring:

Nationality
Which fighter is at home
How thick the envelope in your dressing room is
Who gave you said envelope.
