The vast majority of people felt Sean McComb was the clear winner of the ten-round contest for Arnold Barboza Jr's WBO Inter-Continental Super Lightweight title
Pete Taylor has blasted the judges responsible for scoring Sean McComb's extremely controversial defeat to Arnold Barboza Jr over the weekend.
One judge scored the bout 98-92 to the Irishman, but the other two incredibly scored it 96-94 and 97-93 to Barboza, much to the shock of those watching on, including promoter Eddie Hearn. The Matchroom Boxing boss said the difference in the scorecards made "absolutely no sense at all", while fellow Belfast boxer Caoimhín Agyarko stated it was "one of the worst decisions" he's ever seen in boxing.
