That's the worst decision I've ever seen. Gleeson is called for winning the first 4 rounds but Domingo gets a UD (not even a split!). :eek:

 

Rounds 1 and 4 were specifically mentioned to be very close, which means that it could have gone either way. As Round 5 was definitely de Vivanco, that's three rounds that he can definitely take without it being controversial.

 

All the judges gave Gleeson round 2.

 

That just means that the fairly close round 3 has to be a slightly suspect call for de Vivanco to take four rounds (as per two of the judges), and one judge to not give a controversial call for him to take three.

Fair enough and that actually, disappointingly, does make sense. Maybe it's those announcers calling the match that are corrupt! :p

 

I was so stoked on Gleeson winning an underdog match too.
