This fight should be ruled a no contest.
At the very least, a direct rematch is essential(must be held in Japan ), and boxing matches must never be held in New Zealand again.
This was an absolute robbery.
Madoka Wada landed a picture perfect body shot that folded Emma Nesbitt. It was a clean, legal punch, yet somehow the referee waved it off, refused to score the knockdown and then compounded the mistake by deducting a point from the visiting fighter.
Think about that for a second.
What should have been a legitimate knockout became a split-decision loss.
Nesbitt couldn’t beat the count. She remained down for well over a minute before she was able to recover. By every reasonable standard, the fight should have ended right there.
I’m disgusted by what I watched.
If the integrity of the sport means anything, this result deserves an immediate review @WBABoxing The decision should be overturned, or at the very least, a rematch should be ordered.
