Given that the guy was American and presumably fluent in English I find it hard to believe the mistake wouldn't have been sorted out at the time. It's the most bizarre judging of a fight I've ever seen.

What's people's thoughts on the world boxing super series?
It's a knockout tournament featuring crusierweights and super middleweights George groves is confirmed and 3 crusierweights including 2 world champs (not even going to try and spell their names)
Similar to the super 6 tournament from a few years back.not sure if the weights are mixed or set a some sort of catchweight.
The German crowd are a rowdy lot eh!
Well that was pretty gash all round, didn't think the German was that great, Callum Smith would knock him out as would Groves or Degale
Hopefully he puts himself into the super series so Groves can spark him
Smith fight was awful.
Controversy over in America however with the ending to ward/kovalev and rigondeux/Flores fights.rematches all round I feel.
It was pretty even up until the last couple of rounds with Ward taking over, he genuinely hurt Kovalev a couple of times just before the stoppage, Kovalev was looking a bit gassed, I can't see how the ref didn't give a count though, shocking decision just to wave it off
I see the ref has just said this "I stopped the fight due to Kovalev not protecting himself had I saw the shots were low I would not have stopped the fight. My mistake"
Connor benn looks a prospect.defence needs a bit of work but still think he could go far.
Hopefully last night is the last time we see Manny Pacquiao in a ring. The 117-111 scorecard was a joke but he looked very poor for large chunks of the fight.
He's lost 4 of his last 9 and is getting to the stage where he looks like a man who just can't let go. He has other interests and a young family. Probably time to retire whilst still healthy.
Anyone else in Glasgow for the Taylor fight on Saturday?
I've booked the 1.30am bus.
We got caught last time we were there for the Burns v Zlaticanan fight as there was barely a taxi to be seen and it was just past midnight when we got back to Queen Street. There's a big Wetherspoons at Braehead so we'll just dive in there and hopefully grab a taxi after the crowds start to clear.
Hope Taylor knocks him out and outboxes him conviccigly beforehand to shut OD's stupid mouth up. I bet Hearn wishes he had JT over OD!
Crolla v burns potentially.
Would be a war.
Well Braehead is as **** as I remember it.
Well done Easton, that was a step up and a great fight to watch
What happened at the Copperbox in London? been switching between Braehead Arena card and BT Sport and just caught some West Ham fans going mental?
Come on Josh!
Close opening 2
Pretty close start.davies does look very awkward to fight against.
Davies down in the third.
