Did Silva Call The Judging CORRUPT?

[skombolis]

Sorry if there is already a thread on this, did not see one and wanted to know. Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Don't know why it's the only tweet not in a box with a link either. Deleted after posting it maybe? Just guessing, I almost never use Twitter to know.


"Wow, did I just hear Anderson saying that there's corruption in the judging system? and his manager left that out? Wow! Just wow!"

I enjoyed watching Vinny get KTFO by The Hippo.

Yes he did, Ed left that part out, probably for the best.

Yes. I watch with my Brazilian mate and he confirmed that AS accused corruption. But he was speaking about the KO more than the decision he thought.

10 point must is a terrible system for judging a fight. While Bisping won 1 and 2, 3/4/5 were much tougher to score and without the 10point must system Silva wins those three rounds.

Interesting. Yeah, probably a good move Ed looked out for him there.

Yes. I watch with my Brazilian mate and he confirmed that AS accused corruption. But he was speaking about the KO more than the decision he thought.

Interesting as well. I have always wondered how much we get in the translation due to summarizing or sometimes just looking out for someone.

This. I'm brazilian and I can confirm this, but he wasn't complaining about the scorecards.

 

[Pyreen]

He said that it was "exactly like in Brazil: total corruption". Dudes over in the Brazilian forum are fucking pissed.

 

[Eyepokesftw]

To be honest. I thought Anderson would lose this fight via corruption from the very second it was announced lol

Wait, is this controversial?? As if boxing/mma judges are the bastion of integrity?
